Fluid level control float valve

An apparatus to supply fluid to a basin comprising:

• a. a remote reservoir for said fluid,
• b. a valve structure within said basis, having a housing, a fluid ingress means, a flexible tube with a specified length having an inlet portion communicating with said fluid ingress means and an outlet portion extending into said valve structure, a float member having a side wall and a slanted top portion with respect to said side wall, said float member having a channel disposed between one end of said side wall and one end of said slanted portion for loosely receiving and guiding said outlet portion of said flexible tube to control fluid flow into said basin by bending said flexible tube to shut off fluid flow through said flexible tube in response to movement of said float as a result of a change in the fluid level in said valve chamber, and
• c. fluid supply means in communication with said reservoir and said fluid ingress means.

A valve assembly to control the fluid level in a basin, comprising:

• a. a unitary, molded housing having walls defining a valve chamber and further having fluid ingress and egress means communicating with said valve chamber at the top and bottom, respectively, said walls further having at least one channel disposed axially in the interior of said walls.
• b. a flexible and collapsible tube having a specified length with an inlet portion and a distal portion extending into said valve chamber and communicating with said fluid ingress means at said inlet portion, and
• c. a buoyant float member with side walls and a slanted top portion with a receiving means disposed between said side walls and said slanted top portion to loosely guide said flexible tube distal portion to control fluid flow into said chamber by bending said flexible tube to shut off fluid flow therein in response to movement of said float as a result of a change in the fluid level in said valve chamber.
