  • Patent number: 4711366
    Abstract: A pressure cooker which uses an elastic C-connector to fix a cover to a cooker body in airtight manner. Loosening and tightening of the C-connector are controlled by an operating handle. The operating handle has a relief valve at one end. The relief valve has a valve body and an adjustable valve rod so that when the C-connector is in tightening condition, the valve body is located on a valve seat on the cover. Pressure can be relieved through the relief valve or edge of the C-connector after it reaches a certain level. Pressure in the cooker will raise two safety pins to restrict movement of a rod so that removal of the valve body from the valve seat is impossible and thus removal of the cover is prevented for safe operation.

  • Patent number: 4653534
    Abstract: It is a water faucet, which mainly comprises a control rod, a valve stem, and a clutch assembly being mounted between the control rod and the valve stem. The clutch assembly can only be driven by the control rod to rotate an angle of 90.degree.. After the control rod rotating clockwise at a given angle, a timer will drive it counter-clockwise slowly toward original position thereof so as to supply water during a given period of time. The inlet end of the water pipe is connected with a plug-in pipe, of which the tail end is furnished with several water holes. The plug-in pipe is to be inserted into a plug valve seat in the water pipe so as to open a spring type of automatic plug valve, and to let water enter into the faucet.
