A diaphragm valve mechanism (10) comprises a diaphragm valve support structure (12) having passages (19). extending therethrough. Projecting normal to grid (33) are a number of locating pins (21) which are adapted to extend through holes (30) in diaphragm valve (11). Diaphragm valve (11) formed of flexible material is provided with a pair of cross slits (29) each corresponding with the grid bridge element (39). The central portion (32) of diaphragm valve (11) is located within a mayor flow passage (19) whereas the outer peripheral edge portion (31) of diaphragm valve (11) is located within exit passage (27). The device (1) further comprises a mouthpiece (22) and optionally a mask (13) to fit over the nose and mouth of a user.
