Abstract
A valve member is movably provided in a fluid passage to open or close the same. A seal ring is movably assembled to a valve-side annular groove formed in an outer peripheral portion of the valve member. A fluid escape portion is formed on a downstream-side ring surface of the seal ring. A recessed portion is formed as the fluid escape portion and located at a radial-inside position of a sealing surface portion, which is a part of the downstream-side ring surface and tightly in contact with a downstream-side groove surface of the valve-side annular groove when the valve member is moved to a valve closed position. Fluid flows from an upstream side to a downstream side through the fluid escape portion when the valve member is moved to a valve opened position, so that the seal ring is prevented from coming out from the valve-side annular groove.
