English term or phrase: crabpot valve
Possibly denotes a type of basketlike adjustable opening in a balloon.
All nbt sources I found relate to a 60s dictionary I already have. As no actual uses seem to be on the net I suspect this is a joke or dummy entry. Anybody that can shed some light here?

Danke. Werde aber eher auf "Rückschlagsperre im.." ausweichen, da Ventil zu stark mit Metall konnotiert IMO. Gruß.

The distribution of this air to the various ballonets
necessitated the use of shut-off and non-return valves. These
were originally made from sheet aluminium and gave very
considerable trouble. It was found, however, that fabric
valves arranged in the form of a sleeve, which can be partially
turned inside out, gave very effective results. This valve is
referred to as a " crab-pot." It is very easily operated and is
almost completely airtight. The diagram shows the arrangement
of blower pipe and 'valves on the smallest type of
ship.
