Abstract

A check valve of one embodiment includes a spout member which has a flow path inside, an urging member supported by an inner end portion of the spout member, a valve body connected to the urging member, and a cylindrical member having a flow path inside, and is provided with a valve seat portion on an inner circumferential face, the spout member is fixedly attached to the cylindrical member so that the valve body and the urging member are inserted into the cylindrical member and the valve body is urged to the valve seat portion by the urging member, and the flow path and the flow path communicate with each other to configure an outflow path through which the content in the vessel flows out.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A check valve comprising a valve member including a spout member with a pouring port of a vessel provided at an outer end portion, an urging member with a base end portion supported by an inner end portion of the spout member, and a valve body connected to a tip end portion of the urging member, and a cylindrical member with a valve seat portion on which the valve body is seated to be capable of hermetically sealing provided on an inner circumferential face,
inside the spout member, a first flow path in which a content in the vessel flows being provided, inside the cylindrical member, a second flow path through which the content in the vessel flows being provided, and the first flow path and the second flow path communicating with each other to configure an outflow path through which the content in the vessel flows out, and
the spout member being fixedly attached to the cylindrical member so that the valve body and the urging member are inserted into the cylindrical member, and the valve body is urged to the valve seat portion by the urging member,
wherein the valve body has a guided portion that restricts movement of the valve body, at an upstream side in the outflow path,
the cylindrical member has a guide portion that causes the guided portion to slide in a central axis direction of the valve body, at an upstream side in the outflow path, of the valve seat portion, and
the guided portion slides on the inner circumferential face of a small diameter portion of the cylindrical member.

2. The check valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein the spout member, the urging member and the valve body are integrally molded.

3. A check valve assembly, comprising:
the check valve according to claim 1 ; and
a reinforcing casing that prevents deformation of the valve seat portion,
the reinforcing casing being internally provided with a hollow portion in which the cylindrical member is incorporated, and having a seal portion that is bonded to a vessel main body, on an outer surface.

4. A vessel equipped with a check valve, comprising:
the check valve assembly according to claim 3 ; and
a vessel main body that contains a content, and has the check valve assembly attached to a pouring portion.

5. The check valve according to claim 1 , wherein the content is liquid.

6. The check valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein the guided portion is configured by three plate-shaped members extending radially from a center point of the valve body.

7. The check valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein a rectifying portion is provided on the inner circumferential face of the cylindrical member and/or a surface of the urging member, the rectifying portion includes grooves or ribs and rectifies a flow of the content flowing in the outflow path.
