<p>A valve (10) for an inflatable article has a flexible housing (12) having a stem (13) formed integrally therewith such that in one configuration of the housing the stem projects outwardly of the inflatable article, whereas in another configuration of the housing, the stem resides substantially within the inflatable article. The stem has a passage (16) therethrough. The valve also comprises a wall (17) situated across the passage (16) and having a slit (18) thereacross, the slit being openable upon compression of the stem in a direction transverse of the direction of the passage to allow the passage of fluid through the stem. An elastic ring (19) is situated about the stem at or nearby the wall (17) and is adapted to bear upon the stem to bias the slit into a closed position.</p> |
