Abstract
A valve assembly has a stationary valve body and a valve member that is movable relative to the valve body at least from a closed position, in which the valve member cooperates with a valve seat to completely obstruct a fluid path formed through the valve body, to an open position, which allows fluid to flow through the fluid path. The valve member has a disc- or ball-shaped rigid component that is overmolded with a flexible component and at least partially encompasses the rigid component in a circumferential direction to form a ring gasket section.
