Abstract
A flow regulator ( ) having a regulator housing ( ) in which, in a flow channel, an annular flow restrictor ( ) made of elastic material is provided that is pushed onto a fastening post ( ) and encircles this post. The post ( ) has at least two fastening webs ( ), oriented opposite a direction in which the elastic material is pushed on, whose free ends engage the flow restrictor ( ) from behind in a securing manner. The flow restrictor ( ) limits, between itself and at least one fixed part of the housing, a control gap whose flow cross-section can be modified by the flow restrictor ( ), which deforms under the pressure difference that arises during flow. In the flow regulator according to the present invention the fastening webs ( ) are fashioned as resilient webs that can be flexibly inwardly deflected. The flow regulator ( ) according to the present invention can be manufactured economically and with a low cost, and is distinguished by its high degree of functional reliability.
