  • Automatic flood control valve
    Patent number: 4659063
    Abstract: An automatic shut off valve for shutting off the water supply to a building in the case of a detected water leak. A conventional valve is provided with an apparatus for rendering the valve automatic when the valve has a sliding stem projecting from the valve body. The apparatus includes a jacket adapted to fit over the valve body to contain the stem having a roof normal to the axis of the stem and spaced from the end thereof and a plunger slidably mounted through the roof extending coaxial with and connected to the stem. A compression spring extends between the roof and the plunger to urge the valve stem to retract to close the valve. A lever member is pivotally mounted to the plunger and extends exteriorly of the jacket. The lever member includes a cam head abutting the roof between plunger extended and retracted positions.
