Abstract

Assemblies for control of fluid flow are described. The assemblies permit angular adjustment of resilient biasing mechanisms through translation of one of their ends along the assembly exteriors. Although the resilient mechanisms normally facilitate covering a bypass inlet so as to close it with a flap, the mechanisms may be latched with the bypass inlet open.
