Abstract:
An improved valve assembly having a material inlet, a metering chamber and a port. A valve element reciprocates within a valve passageway, such that in a first condition, a flow path is created for material to flow from the inlet to the metering chamber and the valve element forms a metal-to-metal seal of the flow path to the discharge port. The valve element then slides to the second condition, to unseal the passageway to the discharge port, and forms a metal-to-metal seal of the flow path to the inlet. A piston forces the material out of the metering chamber, and because the flow path to the discharge port is unsealed and the flow path to the inlet is sealed, the material is directed from the metering chamber, to the discharge port, where it can be dispensed as desired.

Claim (Index 10):
The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the head has a smoothness of at least about 24 RMS.
