Abstract
A valve for restricting flow through an opening of a control valve in a vehicle engine includes a tubular shell having a central axis that extends between open ends of the shell. The shell also includes a base and a blocking element having an interior surface exposed to an internal space of the shell and an exterior surface exposed to an exterior space surrounding the shell. The blocking element is connected to the base by a deflectable connector such that the blocking element can be deflected towards the central axis in response to fluid pressure acting on the exterior surface, and away from the central axis in response to fluid pressure acting on the interior surface so as to selectively block the opening.
