Abstract
The control valve comprises a member defining an orifice for fluid and a resilient plate arranged to control flow of fluid through the orifice by flexing movement relative to the orifice. The plate may comprise a disc which is freely movable between first and second stops. The plate is arranged to engage the first stop to control fluid flow in one direction through the orifice by said flexing movement and is arranged to engage the second stop to permit relatively greater flow when fluid flows in the opposite direction through the orifice.
