ABSTRACT:
The pipe organ valve is comprised of a soft flexible membrane in the form of a disk adapted to be secured to a suitable actuator such as the armature of a solenoid adjacent the center of the disk and a semi-rigid ring member secured to the perimeter of the disk to maintain the disk taut while permitting flexing of the ring transversely to the plane of the ring and permitting distortion of the ring member from its normal plane. The valve member is a light weight composite of a disk of soft flexible resilient leather and a disk of woven material bonded together. The pipe organ valve may be mounted adjacent the air passage of a wind chest with the center of the disk off set from the axis of the air passage whereby one portion of the periphery of the valve member will separate from the valve seat prior to the remainder of the periphery.
