Abstract
A reed valve assembly is provided with a body, at least one flexible member, and at least one rigid member. Preferably, the at least one flexible member has a periphery so as to substantially cover opening(s) in the body when positioned adjacent to the body, and the at least one rigid member has a periphery so as to limit deformation of the at least one flexible member.
