Abstract

The present disclosure provides a valve comprising a flange part and a valve element. The flange part comprises a tubular section defining an axial direction. The valve element is made of resilient material and mounted in the tubular section of the flange part. One or more cut-outs are formed in a side wall of the valve element. At least part of the side wall is arranged in abutment with an inner wall of the tubular section. When a force is applied along the axial direction, the valve element stretches, causing the cut-outs to move at least partly out of the tubular section. This establishes a fluid connection through the flange part via the cut-outs, opening the valve. When the force is removed, the valve element resumes its relaxed state, restoring its shape and size and moving the cut-outs into the tubular section, interrupting the fluid connection and closing the valve.
