摘要

A valve for the supply of water in openings gives cattle consisting of a cylindrical body and i hollow whose outer surface is conveniently tools gives for its adaptation by threading to the water supply line and whose hollow has near one of its ends a circular crown-shaped landing that is the seat of a preferably rubber washer arranged on the front face gives a disk whose diameter is corresponds to that of the hollow of the cylindrical body, said washer being crossed by a rod that forming a body with the aforementioned disk and having a diameter smaller than that of the central hole that determines the seat of the valve. the aforementioned disc to the action of an internal spiral spring whose tension is adjustable by means of a nut that threading at the internal end of the hollow of the cylindrical body opposite that of the seat of the valve presents a wide longitudinal central perforation that completely crosses it being the function of said spring to keep the washer pressed against said seat or preventing the passage of water so that when the disc is retracted by pressure exerted against the outer end of the rod, the liquid passes through the perforation of the nut and through the front hole of the cylindrical body between it and the external surface of the rod with a smaller diameter, all for the purpose that by providing any lever that contacts the outer end of the rod, it can be actuated by the animal's muzzle, giving rise to the passage of water, closing automatically by the action of the spring when the pressure is met.
