Abstract:
A hydromagnetic tank valve, comprising:a combination of a water access pipe for receiving water from a source; a main piece coupling with the water source pipe; a chamber formed from the coupling of the water access pipe and the main piece, the chamber receiving water from the water access pipe to the main piece; a shaft having a top end and a bottom end running along vertically within the main piece through the valve; a floater having at a bottom section, a hollow cylindrical section to accommodate the main piece when the floater is pushed down, a totally sealed upper section having a threaded orifice to couple with the shaft and a small threaded top for accommodating a knob for pushing the floater down and consequently open the valve; a nut on an upper section of the shaft to set a required water level for the tank; a movable magnetic bushing having a tract between the main piece and the shaft for movement towards and away from a magnet assembly resting on a shelf top of the main piece, the magnetic bushing moving towards the magnet assembly when the water level reaches the nut setting the required level of water thereby closing the valve to stop the flow of water to the tank and away from the magnetic assembly when the knob pushes the floater down to open the valve thereby allowing water to flow to the tank; means for attaching the water access pipe to the tank; means for controlling the water pressure to the tank; means for stabling the shaft and preventing premature closing of the valve; means for closing the valve; and, means for evacuating water dragged by the bushing to prevent counter pressure when the bushing is moved to the magnet assembly by the water pressure exerted by the water level reaching the nut setting the required level of water in the tank.
