Abstract

A valve 10 comprising a rotatable valve member 12, and a motor 14 adapted to rotate the valve member 12 towards either a closed position or an open position. The valve having resilient biasing means 16 adapted to return the valve member 12 to the open position or the closed position respectively when the motor 14 is switched oft wherein the resilient biasing means 16 exerts an approximately constant biasing force on the valve member 12 over the range of rotational movement of the valve member 12 between the open and closed positions. The resilient biasing means 16 is preferably a pre-curled spring strip (figs 2 & 3) made of spring steel. The valve may be a ball valve used in the cooling of an automotive engine.
