Device having a pressure-compensating flap arranged pivotably about an axis

摘要

The invention relates to a device having a pressure-compensating flap (4) or the like and having for this resilient closing means which make it possible to open the pressure-compensating flap (4) when a predetermined pressure is reached. In order to achieve a simple predetermination and setting of the release force and, furthermore, also high operating reliability at a low outlay in terms of construction, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the closing means have a closing body (12) which is supported on cup springs (18) and which engages with its preferably rounded surface into an associated recess (10). This recess is located either in the pressure-compensating flap (4) or else in a frame, door or the like receiving the pressure-compensating flap (4). The cup springs (18) are assigned a setting element (24) for setting the prestress. <IMAGE>
