Abstract

Breather valves featuring magnets that allow very rapid flow. Such flow is accomplished by a valve housing enclosing a hollow interior portion containing a stationary member including a magnet and a pressure-movable poppet disposed in sealing arrangement with the housing and including a magnet. Additionally, and a return force member, such as a magnet or spring, between and coupled to the cover of the housing and the pressure movable poppet may be incorporated into the breather valve. The magnets are substantially centrally disposed in relation to the stationary member and pressure-moveable poppet and are configured such that the breather valve stays closed until an air pressure overcomes an attraction force between the magnets, thereby opening the valve.
