Claim 2:
3. A flow rate regulator (1) for adjusting a flow rate of a fluid, the flow rate regulator (1) comprising:
a control element (2);
a control opening (3) formed at least partially by a housing (4), a clear opening dimension (5) of the control opening (3) is modifiable by the control element (2) as a function of pressure acting on the control element (2);
the control element (2) forms at least a partial section of an edge (7) defining the control opening (3);
the control element (2) has at least two segments (6) which are detached from each other and are each deformable as a function of pressure; and

a fastener (10) arranged in a receiving chamber (9), the control element (2) is at least one of mounted or held in the housing (4) by the fastener (10),
the control element (2) is deformably arranged on the housing (4), at least one of parallel to a longitudinal axis (11) of the flow rate regulator (1) or to a flow direction (12) of a fluid flowing through the flow rate regulator (1) in an operational state, and
the control element (2) has a connector (13), and at least one of the individual segments (6) are connected to the connector or the control element (2) is mounted in the housing (4) via the connector, and
the connector (13) has an insertion opening (14), into which the fastener (10) is inserted.
