A valve spacer plate assembly includes a rigid plate member having first and second outer surfaces and at least one opening extending therethrough. The assembly also includes at least one gasket member disposed on one of the outer surfaces of the rigid plate member. The gasket member circumscribes at least one of the openings. A spaced portion circumscribes the edge of the openings, and forms a seating ledge against which the free end of a blade valve may rest.

In a reciprocating compressor having a valve plate and a compression chamber defined by an interior compression chamber wall, a valve spacer plate assembly for supporting a blade valve tip and for sealing adjacent surfaces of an intake port, a discharge port, and the compression chamber, the valve spacer plate assembly comprising: a rigid, nonpermenantly deformable plate member having opposite first and second outer surfaces, and having at least one opening extending therethrough alignable with the intake and discharge ports of the compression chamber; at least one gasket sealing member fixedly disposed on each of the outer surfaces of the plate member and circumscribing the at least one opening of the rigid plate member; and a spaced portion circumscribing the edge of the at least one opening to form a seating ledge between the edge of the at least one opening and a respective gasket sealing member, the seating ledge extending circumfrentially, inwardly a predetermined distance into the compression chamber, from the interior compression chamber wall, to provide a seat to stop the movement of a free end of a blade valve.
