A cylinder piston for an air compressor, in particular for a two-stage air compressor, has at least two channel openings integrated in the piston surface of the cylinder piston, which are designed as an inlet valve and/or as an outlet valve for air in a compression chamber of the cylinder. A coherent, one-piece and flexible bending sealing element is provided inside or covering the channel openings. The sealing element for the at least two or a plurality of channel openings enables an inflow into a channel opening or outflow from a channel opening, wherein the at least two channel openings through the flexible bending sealing element can be designed independently of one another as an inlet valve or as an outlet valve. Also provided is a cylinder with at least one cylinder piston and an air compressor with such a cylinder.

An air compressor contains a piston actuated by a motor to move in a cylinder. The piston includes an air stop sheet mounted on a top support plate thereof. The air stop sheet includes a bending section having a positioning zone and an acting zone located opposite to the positioning zone and configured to cover an air channel of the piston. The bending section is a boundary axis of the acting area and the positioning zone of the air stop sheet so that a top of the air stop sheet facing the cylinder forms an obtuse angle less than 180 degrees, and a back surface of the acting zone of the air stop sheet backing a top of the cylinder turns on relative to a plane of a top of the top support plate at an open angle θ, thus producing an air flowing space.

A reed valve 1 includes: a valve body 4; a valve seat 6 having a valve hole 3 for passage of a fluid J; a casing 8 accommodating the valve body 4; and a reed 10 including an arm part 18 having a first end portion 22 connected to the casing 8, and a valve body support part 20 connected to a second end portion 24 of the arm part 18 and supporting the valve body 4 so that the valve hole 3 can be opened and closed. When a first direction D1 is a flow direction of the fluid J in the valve hole 3, and a first surface 21 is a surface facing downstream in the first direction D1 among an inner surface of the casing 8, the first surface 21 includes a recess 27 facing the arm part 18.

An automobile vacuum pump includes a pump chamber with a pump rotor, an outlet chamber, a partition wall separating the pump chamber from the outlet chamber, and an outlet valve in the partition wall. A compressed gas is discharged from the pump chamber into the outlet chamber via the outlet valve. The outlet valve is formed by a valve opening in the partition wall, a valve seat arranged around the valve opening, and a leaf spring provided as a valve body. The leaf spring includes a spring body which includes a fastening site where the spring body is fixed to the partition wall, and a spring-body-side stopper. The spring-body-side stopper is arranged so that a first distance between the spring-body-side stopper and the fastening site is larger than a second distance between the fastening site and an opening edge of the valve opening which is closest to the fastening site.

A non-return insert valve (100) for a fluid circuit, in particular of a vehicle, this valve (100) being configured to be inserted into a pipe (12) and comprising: a tubular body (102), a ring (104) comprising guides (140), a piston (106) configured to slidingly cooperate with said guides (140) and carrying a seal (146), and an elastically deformable member (108) for biasing said seal (146) in axial support against a seat (124) of the tubular body (102), said piston (106) comprising at its external periphery lugs (166) which are configured to be supported axially against an internal cylindrical shoulder (126) of said body (102), in order to precisely define a first position of the piston, the fluid being intended to flow between these lugs (166) when the piston (106) is in a second position.

An automobile vacuum pump includes a pump chamber with a pump rotor, an outlet chamber, a partition wall separating the pump chamber from the outlet chamber, and an outlet valve in the partition wall. A compressed gas is discharged from the pump chamber into the outlet chamber via the outlet valve. The outlet valve is formed by a valve opening in the partition wall, a valve seat arranged around the valve opening, and a leaf spring provided as a valve body. The leaf spring includes a spring body which includes a fastening site where the spring body is fixed to the partition wall, and a spring-body-side stopper. The spring-body-side stopper is arranged so that a first distance between the spring-body-side stopper and the fastening site is larger than a second distance between the fastening site and an opening edge of the valve opening which is closest to the fastening site.

An antirotation valve system for controlling flow through a valve opening defined in a compressor surface. The antirotation valve system includes a reed and a backer each having one mounting opening and one antirotation feature.
