Claim 0:
1. A control valve system for controlling the flow of media such as water, said valve system comprising:
a clock apparatus that comprises a mechanical clock mechanism with an hour dial and a minute dial, the clock apparatus being connected to a valve plug component having an open position and a closed position, the clock apparatus being connected to the valve plug component by a first connecting apparatus, and which clock apparatus performs a timing function that controls the amount of time the valve plug component is in the open position and/or the closed position;
the first connecting apparatus functions to convert the rotational movement of the hour dial and the minute dial to a linear movement of the valve plug component to the open position and/or closed position and control the flow of media through the control valve system;
a turbine apparatus, the turbine apparatus comprising a turbine shaft, an impeller on one end of the turbine shaft that is capable of being turned by the flow of media, the turbine apparatus being connected to the clock apparatus by a second connecting apparatus, and which turbine apparatus provides a mechanical energizing function that provides mechanical energy to a mainspring of the clock apparatus by using the second connecting apparatus; and
wherein the first connecting apparatus comprises a lever mechanism, the lever mechanism comprising a first arm and a second arm, the first arm being connected to the valve plug component and the second arm being connected to the hour dial and the minute dial, the first arm and the second arm being joined together with a spring hinge so that the angle between the first arm and the second arm can be adjusted by a force applied to the lever mechanism, wherein when the hour dial is set to a particular time of the hour(s), the second arm is moved to a position where it can be engaged by the minute dial to move the first arm and thereby change the position of the valve plug component to the open position and/or closed position for the length of time set by the hour dial and the minute dial.
