Patent attributes
A mounting of a valve plate (1) on a valve rod (2) using a cross member (3) extending transversely with respect to the valve rod (2) is provided. The cross member (3) is connected at a central connecting point (4) to the valve rod (2) and is connected at least two lateral connecting points (5, 6), which are situated on both sides of the central connecting point (4), to the valve plate (1). The cross member (3) has a spacing (a) from the valve plate (1) in a central section (17) which comprises the central connecting point (4) and sections of the cross member (3) adjacent to the central connecting point (4) at both sides. By a twisting of the cross member (3), the valve plate (1) can be pivoted relative to the valve rod (2) about a pivot axis (19) which is at right angles to the valve rod.
