Projections extending laterally from each of the leaflets are received in socket means provided at generally diametrically opposite locations in the interior wall of the valve body. Slot portions of the socket means guide the pivotal movement of the leaflets. The pivotal axis of each leaflet is eccentrically located and moves relative to the valve body during opening and closing motion.
