Abstract
A tap or valve for controlling the flow of liquid including a valve housing with a valve chamber therein the latter having a peripheral wall with an outlet opening in said wall, a valve member mounted for movement in the valve chamber from an outlet closing position to a position clear of that opening, an inlet opening to permit the flow of liquid into the valve chamber, and a side member movable with the valve member and arranged to provide for a metering of the liquid flowing from the inlet opening to the valve chamber and thence out through the outlet opening.
Claims10
A tap or valve for controlling the flow of liquid comprising a valve housing having a valve chamber therein, a peripheral wall in the valve chamber, an outlet opening in said wall, a valve member mounted for movement in the valve chamber from a position closing the outlet opening to a position clear of that opening, an inlet opening in one end of the valve chamber to permit the flow of liquid into the valve chamber, and a side member forming a closure for said one end of the valve chamber and movable simultaneously with the valve member and constructed to provide for a metering of the liquid flowing from the inlet opening to the valve chamber and thence out through the outlet opening.
A tap or valve for controlling the flow of liquid including a valve housing, a valve chamber therein having at least one open end wall, said chamber forming a part of the interior of the valve housing and having a peripheral wall in the valve chamber, an outlet opening in said peripheral wall, a valve member in said valve chamber and mounted on a crank pin supported by a crank arm operatively connected to an actuating member to move the valve member from an outlet closing position to an outlet opening position, a side member connected to and movable by the crank pin and with said side member bearing upon and forming a closure for said open end wall of the valve chamber, said closure being spaced from an end of the valve housing which has an inlet opening therein so that liquid passing through said opening can accumulate within that space formed between the said end of the valve housing and said side member, and at least one aperture in the side member arranged as the valve member is moved from the outlet closing position to admit liquid from said space into the valve chamber in a metered manner and thence out through the outlet opening.
