Abstract
Disclosed herein is a water saving valve device having a valve body, a coupling unit, a spring, an actuating rod, a push plate, and a packing. A manual manipulating unit is coupled to the coupling unit to manually move the actuating rod up and down, and includes a lower body, a slide bar, a spring, and a locking piece. The lower body is coupled to the coupling unit and has a vertical pipe on its lower portion. The slide bar has on its upper end a magnet, thus vertically moving the actuating rod by magnetic force. The spring is fitted over the lower portion of the slide bar. The upper end of the locking piece is alternately stopped by first and second locking holes when the slide bar moves up and down, and the lower end is supported by the outer circumference of the vertical pipe.
Claims7
A water saving valve device having a valve body including a water inlet port, a water outlet port and a vertical pipe, a coupling unit including a coupling plate coupled to a lower portion of the valve body and a pipe provided on a lower portion of the coupling plate, a spring and an actuating rod inserted into the pipe, a push plate contacting the actuating rod in such a way as to move up and down, and a packing, wherein
- a manual manipulating unit is coupled to a lower portion of the coupling unit to manually move the actuating rod up and down, the manual manipulating unit comprising:
- a lower body coupled to the lower portion of the coupling unit, the lower body being open at a top and having a space therein, with a vertical pipe provided on a lower portion of the lower body;
- a slide bar having on an upper end thereof a magnet, and vertically moving the actuating rod accommodated in the pipe of the coupling unit by a magnetic force of the magnet, as the slide bar inserted into the vertical pipe slides up and down;
- a spring fitted over an outer circumference of a lower portion of the slide bar to elastically support the slide bar in the vertical pipe;
- and
- a locking piece, an upper end thereof being alternately stopped and supported by a first locking hole and a second locking hole which are formed side by side at upper and lower positions on an outer circumference of the slide bar when the slide bar moves up and down, a lower end thereof being supported by an outer circumference of the vertical pipe, so that the slide bar is secured alternately at a position where magnetic force acts on the actuating rod and a position where magnetic force does not act on the actuating rod.
