Abstract
A bleed valve which is intended for the fuel tank of a vehicle has a housing, a floating body disposed in such a manner as to be able to move in the longitudinal direction. A rim of an outlet orifice forms a valve seat for a sealing element which is supported by a support disc, wherein the support disc is articulated in a cardanic manner on the floating body. The sealing element is disposed in such a manner as to be able to move according to the movement of the floating body between a position which closes the outlet orifice and a position which opens same, wherein as a result of the said articulation of the support disc on the floating body positional changes, e.g. inclined positions, which are caused by the drive operation of the vehicle do not impair the sealing function.
