A nozzle of a dyestuff applicator has a cylindrical valve housing formed with an orifice obstructable by the tip of an electromagnetically displaceable needle which controls the outflow of dyestuff from a chamber in that housing. The chamber is sealed by a rubber diaphragm which is penetrated by the needle whose shaft is engaged by a pair of parallel membranes of spring steel peripherally clamped in an extension of the housing. Each membrane comprises a narrow outer ring with an inwardly projecting tongue split into two diverging branches which are interconnected at their free ends, near the diametrically opposite side of the outer ring, by a re-entrant web extending radially between these branches and terminating in an inner, needle-supporting ring concentric with the outer ring. |
