A valve device for a silence opens a bypass passage provided in the silencer to flow exhaust gas through the bypass passage when exhaust gas pressure rises to a certain pressure. The valve device includes a base having a valve opening through which exhaust gas flows, and a plate-like valve for opening and closing the valve opening. The plate-like valve is fixed to the base at its proximal portion, and is bent at both edges thereof in a certain range extending from its distal end toward the proximal portion.

What is claimed is: 1. A valve device for a silencer, which opens a bypass passage provided in the silencer to flow exhaust gas through the bypass passage when exhaust gas pressure rises to a certain pressure, the valve device comprising: a base having a valve opening through which exhaust gas flows; and a plate-like valve for opening and closing the valve opening, the plate-like valve being fixed to the base at its proximal portion, wherein the plate-like valve is bent at both side edges thereof in a certain range extending from its distal end toward the proximal portion. 2. A valve device far a silencer according to claim 1, further comprising a plate spring member, a distal end of which abuts on a surface of the plate-like valve to urge the plate-like valve toward a valve close position, wherein the plate spring member is obliquely arranged relative to the platelike valve such that an abutting position of the plate spring member against the plate-like valve shifts toward the proximal portion of the plate-like valve with an increase in a deflection amount of the plate-like valve, and wherein the plate spring member abuts on a reinforced area of the plate-like valve. 3. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 2, wherein the plate spring member is bent to form a curved surface. 4. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 2, further comprising a stopper member, wherein the plate-like valve is sandwiched between the base and a proximal portion of the stopper member and fixed thereto, and wherein the plate spring member is fixed to a distal portion of the stopper member. 5. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 4, wherein the stopper member, the plate-like valve, and the base are fixed together by welding. 6. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 4, wherein the plate spring member is fixed to the stopper member by welding. 7. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 2, wherein the reinforced area of the plate-like valve includes said certain range wherein said valve is bent at said both side edges thereof. 8. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 2, wherein the distal end of the plate spring member is bent to form a curved surface. 9. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 2, including a second plate spring member which urges said plate-like valve toward the valve close position. 10. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 9, wherein said second plate spring member is superposed on, and has a shorter length than, the first mentioned plate spring member. 11. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 1, wherein an intermediate portion of said plate-like valve, between said proximal portion and said distal end, operatively engages said valve opening in said base to open and close said valve opening. 12. A valve device for a silencer, which opens a bypass passage provided in the silencer to flow exhaust gas through the bypass passage when exhaust gas pressure rises to a certain pressure, the valve device comprising: a base having a valve opening through which exhaust gas flows; a plate-like valve which opens and closes the valve opening; a stopper which restricts a degree of opening of the plate-like valve; and a plate-like spring which urges the plate-like valve toward a closed position thereof; the plate-like valve being fixed to the base and the stopper at a proximal portion of said valve; and the plate-like valve is reinforced against deflection in a certain range extending from its distal end toward the proximal portion. 13. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 12, wherein a distal end of said plate-like spring abuts on a surface of the plate-like valve to urge the plate-like valve toward said closed position thereof, the plate spring member is obliquely arranged relative to the plate-like valve such that an abutting position of the plate spring member against the plate-like valve shifts toward the proximal portion of the plate-like valve wit an increase in a deflection amount of the plate-like valve, and the plate spring member abuts on said reinforced range of the plate-like valve. 14. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 12, wherein the plate-like valve is sandwiched between the base and a proximal portion of the stopper member and fixed thereto, and wherein the plate spring member is fixed to a distal portion of the stopper member. 15. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 12, wherein the stopper member, the plate-like valve, and the base are fixed together by welding. 16. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 12, wherein the plate spring member is fixed to the stopper member by welding. 17. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 12, wherein the reinforced range of the plate-like valve includes side edges of said valve which are bent. 18. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 12, wherein a distal end of the plate spring member which operatively engages said valve is bent to form a curved surface. 19. A valve device for a silencer according to claim 12, wherein the plate-like valve is reinforced against deflection in an intermediate portion thereof.
