The other body component is provided with a pointed triangular support and also a plurality of radially extending ribs for preventing a valve disc from opening so far as to close off the egress port provided with said second element, together with a rubber resilient valve disc which is retained between the pointed triangular support and the traverse bar when the unit is assembled by sonic welding into a permanently assembled device. A further embodiment provides for a permanent dimple in the valve disc prior to assembly of the component elements, while a further embodiment provides a valve disc with an elongated groove or recess of somewhat oval shape for reception of the pointed triangular support member of the second body component.
