First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A vacuum valve including a valve opening and a valve plate that opens and closes the valve opening, wherein a part of an edge of the valve opening is a wedge edge portion having a wedge shape projected outward, and the wedge edge portion is provided in a region where the valve plate starts to open the valve opening when the valve plate is moved to open the valve opening. 2 . The vacuum valve according to claim 1 , wherein a vertex of a wedge of the wedge edge portion is located at a position where an edge of the valve plate first comes into contact with the edge of the valve opening. 3 . The vacuum valve according to claim 1 , wherein a member formed with the wedge edge portion is provided detachably with respect to the valve opening. 4 . The vacuum valve according to claim 2 , wherein the wedge edge portion includes a first line segment extending from the vertex, a second line segment extending from the vertex, a first circular arc extending from the first line segment, and a second circular arc extending from the second line segment. 5 . The vacuum valve according to claim 1 , wherein when the valve plate starts to open the valve opening, a change rate of an opening area is made small, as compared with a valve opening having a circular cross section.
