Abstract
A backer for a reed valve has: a first surface for engaging the valve reed; a second surface opposite the first surface; a base portion for mounting to a compressor housing; a distal portion for engaging a distal portion of the reed; and at least one trunk connecting the base portion to the distal portion. The first surface is transversely convex along a portion of the trunk. The trunk is relatively wider near the base portion than near the distal portion.
