VACUUM VALVE
First Claim
1. Vacuum valve comprising:
- a valve housing (1) with a valve opening (2) that has an axis (3), a valve seat that surrounds the valve opening (2) and has a first seat main section (4) and a second seat main section (5), with the seat main sections being arranged offset relative to each other in a direction of the axis (3) of the valve opening (2) and being connected to each other by first and second seat connecting sections (6, 7),a closing element (9) that can be moved in a straight line in a closing direction (8) extending at an angle to the axis (3) of the valve opening (2) from an open position in which the valve opening (2) is exposed into a closed position in which the valve opening is sealed and against the closing direction (8) from the closed position into the open position,at least one peripherally closed seal (10, 11) that is arranged on the closing element (9) and has first and second seal main sections (14, 15) and first and second seal connecting sections (16, 17) allocated to the first and second seat main sections (4, 5) and the first and second seat connecting sections (6, 7) and extends in a groove (12, 13) that is bounded, viewed in cross section, by two side walls (24, 24′
;
25) and one base wall (26),wherein the first seal main section (14) is arranged on a front end face (18) of the closing element (9) with respect to the closing direction (8) and has a middle part (19) in which the seal (10, 11) extends in a straight line,the seal (10, 11) is clamped by a clamping bar (23) at least across a first sub-region (22) of a longitudinal extent thereof lying in the middle part (19) of the first seal main section, wherein the clamping bar is fixed on the closing element (9) and forms one of the two side walls (24′
) of the groove (12, 13),and the two side walls (24, 25) and the base wall (26) defining the groove (12, 13) are formed by the closing element (9) across at least a second sub-region of the longitudinal extent of the seal (10, 11).

Abstract
For a vacuum valve comprising a valve housing (1) with a valve opening, a valve seat surrounding the valve opening, a closing element (9), and at least one peripherally closed seal (10, 11) that is arranged on the closing element (9) and has first and second seal main sections (14, 15) and first and second seal connecting sections (16, 17) allocated to first and second seat main sections arranged offset relative to each other in a direction of the axis (3) of the valve opening (2) and first and second seat connecting sections, is provided, with the seal extending in a groove that is defined, when viewed in cross section, by two side walls and a base wall. The first seal main section (14) is arranged on a front end face (18) of the closing element (9) with respect to the closing direction (8) of the closing element and has a middle part (19) in which the seal (10, 11) extends in a straight line. The seal (10, 11) is clamped by a clamping bar (23) at least across a first sub-region (22) of its longitudinal extent lying in the middle part (19) of the first seal main section, with the clamping bar being fixed on the closing element (9) and forming one of the two side walls of the groove. Through at least one second sub-region of the longitudinal extent of the seal (10, 11), the two side walls and the base wall defining the groove are formed by the closing element (9).
