Abstract (en)

The particular problems of embedding and wear which are encountered in the positive pressure demand valves for controlling the flow of gas in a breathing system are overcome by the provision of a positive pressure demand valve which has apertured jewels (14, 15) constituting the contacting valve surfaces of both the valve seat (13) and the head (12) of the tilt valve member. Both jewels (14, 15) are resiliently mounted as inserts, the jewel (15) of the tilt head member being a snap fit in a cap (16) of a plastics and therefore resilient material, while the seat jewel (14) is cushioned by a layer (11) of resilient material in a recess in a metallic valve seat (13). The seat jewel (14) is of frusto-conical shape thus restricting the area of the contacting valve surfaces.
