An improved self closing squeeze valve for use with fluid dispensing containers comprising a resilient and deformable valve body into which one or two wafers of similar material are permanently inserted causing a normal state of blockage and seal. Manual pressure on the valve body causes all components to deform, allowing passage of a fluid.

A self-closing squeeze valve comprising: a body, at least one resilient and deformable wafer, said body being resilient and deformable and having: a longitudinal axis, an inlet port, an internal cavity, an outlet port, said inlet port, said cavity and said outlet port being interconnected to form a passage through said body, said passage having a first cross sectional area in a plane essentially transverse to said longitudinal axis of said body as formed and when at rest, and a second cross sectional area in said plane with said body deformed said second cross sectional area being larger than said first cross sectional area, said at least one wafer being inserted in said cavity and having a third cross sectional area larger than said first cross sectional area and smaller than said second cross sectional area, whereby, with said at least one wafer inserted into said cavity, said body is deformed to adapt said first cross sectional area to essentially equal said third cross sectional area to close said passage, and, when said body and wafer are further deformed, such as by finger pressure applied by an operator, said passage is deformed to said second cross sectional area such that said passageway opened.
