Auto water supply control valve

A foot actuated water supply control valve comprising:

• a) a valve body comprising:
• i) a first cylinder having an inlet to allow water to enter the first cylinder;
• ii) a second cylinder having an outlet to allow water to exit from the second cylinder;
• and,
• iii) channel means connecting the first and second cylinders so as to allow water to pass from the first cylinder into the second cylinder;
• b) an adjustment valve connected to the first cylinder to adjust the flow of water into the first cylinder;
• c) a sleeve attached to and extending into the second cylinder, the sleeve defining a passageway and at least one sleeve outlet opening communicating with the passageway and the second cylinder outlet, and having a wall defining at least one sleeve inlet opening to allow water to pass into the passageway;
• d) a valve member slidably mounted in the passageway, the valve member having a first end extending externally of the valve body, a second end and a recessed portion between the first and second ends, the valve member movable in the passageway along a path of travel extending generally parallel to the wall of the sleeve and to a plane of the sleeve inlet opening between a first position wherein the second end of the valve member blocks the at least one inlet opening to prevent water from entering the passageway and a second position wherein the second end is displaced away from the sleeve inlet opening to allow water to pass between the sleeve inlet opening and the sleeve outlet opening via the recessed portion of the valve member;
• and
• e) biasing means acting on the second end of the valve member to bias the valve member toward its first position.
