Abstract
A gas valve mechanism especially suitable for use as the patient valve in conjunction with a lung ventilator or resuscitation device by developing high actuating forces from low pressure gas supplies comprises a valve element movable in a body having a gas pulse inlet, a gas pulse outlet and an exhaust outlet. The valve element has a large effective area exposed to the gas pulse inlet and is moved by gas pressure at that inlet, against spring-loading, to open a restricted flow path to the gas pulse outlet, the flow path restriction developing a pressure differential acting to oppose the spring loading and hold the valve element positively in the flow path open position.
