Venting Valve
Before capping, the Valve Lever interferes with the Link Lever, therefore the
Venting Valve opens.
During the capping sequence, the Valve Lever shaft moves along the Wiper/
cap-drive Cam Slot, and the Valve Lever drops backwards. When this happens,
the Valve Lever and Link Lever interference is removed, and the return force
of the Compression Spring makes this slide to the 80-digit side, closing the
Venting Valve.

move the valve open and close.
