A check valve includes a tubular valve seat frame, a valve seat that is
fixedly secured to the inside of the valve seat frame and has a
communication hole through which a working fluid flows, and a valve body
that is on the working fluid outflow side of the valve seat for opening
and closing the valve seat. The valve seat frame, the valve seat, and the
valve body are put into one unit so that the check valve has a simple
structure and a good assembly property, and can be manufactured at low
cost. The check valve is included, whereby a small, durable, and
high-performance pump can be provided.
