Abstract

A pinchcock comprises a housing, a tube section of elastically flexible material arranged in the housing, a pinching element displaceable in the housing in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the tube section and engaging on the outer side of the tube section and an actuating member for displacing the pinching element. The housing is designed as a plastic molded part, in which a ball is displaceable, as pinching element, in the direction extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the tube section. The actuating member comprises a cam engaging the ball, this cam being rotatable about an axis aligned at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the tube section and to the direction of displacement of the ball.
