  • Patent number: 8171957
    Abstract: A liquid distributor valve includes a compartmented base body with a cover and several outlets and one inlet. A rotatable obturator bell is inwardly arranged and has a shaft projecting through the cover and governed by an externally arranged electronic control having an independent assembly adapted to fit onto the base body. The actuation on the shaft of the obturator bell from the gearmotor of the externally arranged electronic control is carried out through a pinion driven by the shaft of the gearmotor and enmeshed with a gear wheel linked to the shaft of the obturator bell. The linking between the gear wheel and the shaft of the obturator bell is accomplished by a tubular body having an external thread matching the thread provided in the inside of the neck forming an extension of the gear wheel.

  • Patent number: 6941970
    Abstract: A liquid distributor valve. This valve comprises a compartmented base body being provided with a top cover and having several outlets and an upperly arranged, lateral inlet, a rotatable obturator bell being arranged between the outlets and said inlet and having an upperly arranged shaft projecting through said cover, the shaft being governed by an electronic, externally arranged control. This valve is characterized in that the electronic, externally arranged control forms an independent assembly being apt to be removably fitted onto the base body, the obturator bell shaft comprising a cap being apt to allow to removably couple it, the a cap also being apt to penetrate into the assembly forming the electronic, externally arranged control and to be coupled to the shaft of the gearmotor pertaining to the electronic, externally arranged control.

  • Publication number: 20010035218
    Abstract: The distributor comprises a compartmented base body having several outlets and a lateral inlet for the liquid, a cover being secured on top of said base body, this latter housing in its inside a rotatable obturator bell governed by a control means being external to the cover. This distributor is characterized in that an apertured disc is fitted onto the compartments of the base body, and another apertured disc is fitted to the open bottom of the obturator bell and rotates with this latter, the opposite surfaces of these two discs being smoothed up in order to thus obtain between said discs a tightly abutting arrangement. Each of said two apertured discs is fitted onto the base body and onto the obturator bell, respectively, with the intermediary of a seal, and said obturator bell is provided with resilient means causing the disc being fitted to said bell to exert a pressure against the disc being fitted to the base body.
