Abstract
A vacuum breaker includes a main body, a bushing mounted in the main body, a braking member mounted in the main body and located above the bushing, a water stop gasket mounted in the main body and located above the braking member, an elastic member mounted in the main body and biased between the bushing and the braking member, a water inlet disk mounted in the main body and located above the water stop gasket, and a washer mounted in the main body and located above the water inlet disk. The vacuum breaker further includes a connection structure mounted between an inner circumference of the main body and an outer circumference of the bushing. The bushing is combined integrally with the main body by the connection structure under an external force and will not be detached from the main body.
Claims11
A vacuum breaker comprising:
- a main body;
- a bushing mounted in the main body;
- a braking member mounted in the main body and located above the bushing;
- a water stop gasket mounted in the main body and located above the braking member;
- an elastic member mounted in the main body and biased between the bushing and the braking member;
- a water inlet disk mounted in the main body and located above the water stop gasket;
- and
- a washer mounted in the main body and located above the water inlet disk;
- wherein:
- the bushing is made of plastic material;
- the main body is provided with a plurality of air vent holes corresponding to the water stop gasket and connected to an interior of the main body;
