Patent ID: 7504599

Claim:
A pendulous control valve system comprising: a. a housing means having an inlet electric connective means and an outlet electric connective means, and b. a non-conductive rotatable spherical valve within said housing means having a downwardly disposed diametrical conduit containing a conductive material having a first end with a conductive cap and a second end with a conductive cap both suitable for electric connection with said inlet and outlet electric connective means, and having a gravitationally responsive mass distributed around a portion of said first end of said diametrical conduit containing a conductive material within said rotatable spherical valve, and c. a substantially enclosing support means for said rotatable spherical valve connective with said housing means suitable for allowing said rotatable spherical valve to rotate, whereby, an electric current flow may only be conveyed through said housing means when said diametrical conduit within said rotatable valve is approximately perpendicular to the horizontal plane of said support means and said inlet electric connective means and said outlet electric connective means are in electrical connection with said conductive material within said diametrical conduit having a first end with a conductive cap and a second end with a conductive cap both suitable for electric connection with said inlet and outlet electric connective means.
