Abstract
A valve assembly has a discharge valve member and a suction valve member. One of these valve members includes a reed valve. The reed valve has a tab which includes a slot which engages a cantilevered pin. The cantilevered pin allows flexing of the pin upon contact with the reed valve. In addition, the cantilever mounting of the pin provides a lubricant reservoir for lubricating the interface between the pin and the reed valve.
