Definitions
- the valve further comprises a stopper member hingedly affixed to 5 the stem and adapted to close off the passage.
- valve and ring are fabricated from flexible, elastic plastics material .
- valve further comprises an annular flange about the stem and/or wall presenting an obstacle to the elastic ring thus preventing detachment of the ring from the stem.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional elevational view of a valve
- Fig. 2 is a schematic inverted plan view of the valve of Fig. 1
- Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional elevational view of another valve.
- the valve 10 comprises an annular base 11 by which the valve 10 may be glued, plastics welded or otherwise secured to an inflatable article.
- the 5 annular base 11 may be laminated between a pair of layers of the skin of an inflatable article.
- a housing 12 Extending upwardly and molded integrally with the base 11 is a housing 12 from which a stem 13 extends.
- Stem 13 has a passage 16 therethrough through which fluid such as air may pass.
- the upper end of passage 16 may be closed off by a 0 stopper 15 situated near the distal end of a hinge 14 integrally molded as part of the valve.
- the slit 18 as shown in Fig. 2 extends across the wall 17, though is offset slightly from the centre of the wall 17. 5
- the housing 12 may be squeezed between say the thumb and index finger such that the internal surface of the housing 12 bears against the ring 19 which in turn distorts the stem 13 and opens the slit 18 to allow inflation of the article by breathing through the passage 16.
- a football type inflation pump comprising a metallic needle may be passed through the passage 16 and forced through the slit 18 to allow inflation.
- Fig. 3 depicts a further embodiment, substantially the same as that as depicted in Figs. 1 and 2, though with the additional feature of an annular flange 23 molded integrally with the stem 13 and providing an obstacle preventing detachment of the elastic ring 19 from the stem 13.
