  • Patent number: 7172173
    Abstract: A switch valve includes a valve body, a control stem rotatably mounted on the valve body, a limit ring mounted on the valve body, a locking member secured on the control stem and hidden in the limit ring, and a rotation head removably mounted on the limit ring and detachably engaged with the locking member. Thus, the locking member is only rotated by rotation of the rotation head to rotate the control stem so as to open/close the water flow in the valve body, so that the switch valve has a locking effect, thereby preventing the switch valve from being opened by a person intentionally.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7124999
    Abstract: A switch valve includes a valve body, a control stem rotatably mounted on the valve body to open/close a water flow in the valve body, a limit ring mounted on the valve body to encompass the control stem, and a rotation head removably mounted on the limit ring and detachably engaged with the control stem for rotating the control stem. Thus, the distal end of the control stem is only rotated by rotation of the rotation head to rotate the control stem so as to open/close the water flow in the valve body, so that the switch valve has a locking effect, thereby preventing the switch valve from being opened by a person intentionally.

  • Patent number: 7066445
    Abstract: A control valve includes a valve seat, a control switch, and at least one leakproof ring. Thus, when the control valve is disposed at a closed state, the water inlet or the water outlet of the valve seat is stopped by the leakproof groove of the control switch and is sealed closely by the leakproof ring, thereby enhancing the leakproof effect of the control valve.
