ABSTRACT:
An improved pinch valve construction comprises a pair of pinch bars spaced apart of each other, and a valve sleeve intermediate the pinch bars and having wall portions bounding a flow-through passage. A flow-control device moves the pinch bars towards and away from each other and is operative for urging the sleeve from an open configuration in which the wall portions are spaced apart at a pre-determined distance to thereby permit flow through the passage, towards a flattened configuration in which the wall portions are spaced at a distance less than the predetermined distance to thereby restrict flow through the passage. A restoring device urges the sleeve from the flattened configuration towards the open configuration, whereby any tendency of the sleeve to remain in the flattened configuration when the pinch bars are moved away from each other is counteracted.
