<p>The present invention relates broadly to a valve (10) comprising a valve body (14) connected to a valve member (16). The present invention relates broadly to a valve (10) comprising a valve body (14) connected to a valve member (16). The valve body (14) includes a fluid passageway (18) across which the valve member (16) is connected. The valve member (16) includes a plurality of valve elements such as (20A and 20C) which are moveably coupled to the valve body (14) to permit opening and closure of the valve (10). The valve member (16) includes a collapsible opening (22) located at or adjacent an apex of the conical-shaped valve member (16). The valve (10) includes a series of resilient hinges such as (30A and 30C) disposed about a perimeter of the valve member (16). The resilient hinges (30A and 30C) are substantially straight and configured to minimise the force required in deflecting the valve elements such as (20A) to open valve member (16) and expose the collapsible aperture (22).</p>
