DISPENSING VALVE FOR FLUIDS

摘要

A dispensing valve for fluids is disclosed which provides for ease of use by requiring only a minimal force exerted on the valve actuator to maintain the valve in an open position. A resilient valve actuator (24) having the characteristics of a nonlinear spring (25) is provided at an actuator end of the valve body (13) and operatively connected to a plunger (21), with the opposite end of the plunger having mounted thereon a resilient valve seal (19). An immediate discharge outlet (16) is positioned between the actuator end and the valve seal, such discharge outlet being placed in fluid communication with the interior of a fluid container to which the valve is attached when the valve is in an open position.
