Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A pressure relief valve ( 10 ) includes a housing ( 12 ) that has a side wall ( 18 ) that defines an air flow passage ( 24 ). A valve element ( 14 ) has a closed condition that prevents air flow through the air flow passage ( 24 ) and an open condition that permits air flow through the air flow passage ( 24 ). A first insert ( 120 ) is connected to the valve element ( 14 ). A second insert ( 130 ) is connected to the side wall ( 18 ). The first insert ( 120 ) and the second insert ( 130 ) cooperate using magnetic forces to urge the valve element ( 14 ) to the closed condition. At least one of the first insert ( 120 ) and the second insert ( 130 ) is positioned within the air flow passage ( 24 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

Having described the invention, we claim the following: 1. A method of forming a pressure relief valve comprising: providing a housing having a side wall with an inner surface that defines an air flow passage; stamping a plurality of first inserts out of a metal sheet, the plurality of first inserts being connected to one another after stamping; connecting a valve element to one of the first inserts; and connecting a second insert to the side wall, the valve element having an inner…
