Abstract
A valve device comprising a valve housing with a flow channel having a fluid outflow side and a fluid inflow side, a leaf spring having a fastening portion and a free portion. The fastening portion is connected to the valve housing such that, in a closed configuration, the free portion bears against a valve seat and that, in order to bring about an open configuration, the free portion, from the closed configuration, can be elastically bent away from the valve seat, and an actuating device which is designed to transfer the leaf spring from the closed configuration to an open configuration against an elastic reset force of the leaf spring.
