Abstract
Abstract A unidirectional controlled flow valve has a flexible duckbilllike portion with a slit through which a wire projects to define small controlled flow areas between the wire and slit when the duckbill-like portion is closed by higher pressure forces external of the portion than internal, and free flow in the opposite direction through the open slit when the pressure conditions are reversed.
