Abstract
A valve apparatus has a valve housing, a valve element displaceable along a rectilinear path between first and second positions within the valve housing, and a C-shaped detent member. The detent member has a central portion located intermediate between two positions in the direction of the rectilinear path that the joint between the detent member and the valve element assumes when the valve element is positioned at the first and second positions. When the valve element is moved between the first and second positions, the detent member pivots about the central portion. When the valve element is in an intermediate position between the first and second positions, the detent member is deformed to a maximum to urge the valve element to move to the first or second position. The detent member has spring portions extending from the opposite ends of the central portion. Each spring portion has at least one looped portion curved 360 degrees.
