Abstract

A manual valve includes a knob, a stem, a stopper, and a male thread. The stem is extended from the knob. The stopper is extended from the stem. The male thread is extended from the stopper. The stem is smaller than the stopper in outer diameter. The stem is configured to be installed with a clip, which is a separate component from the manual valve. The stopper is configured to make contact with the clip in the axial direction and to be regulated movement in the axial direction when an outer periphery of the stem is installed with the clip and circumferentially surrounded with the clip.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A discharge device comprising:
a manual valve; and
a tank wall having a discharge port for discharging fluid, wherein the manual valve includes:
a body;
a male thread extended from the body;
a stem extended from the male thread; and
a stopper extended from the stem,
the stem is smaller than the stopper in an outer diameter,
the body has at least one pin and at least one recess,
the at least one pin is projected in a radial direction outward from an outer periphery of the body,
the at least one recess is dented in the radial direction inward from the outer periphery of the body,
the pin is cantilevered at one end and is configured to be resiliently retracted into the recess,
the body has a tip end having a tool hole extending through the tip end in the radial direction,
the discharge port defines an insertion hole and a female thread,
the at least one in is configured to make contact with the tank wall in an axial direction and to regulate movement of the manual valve in the axial direction in a state where the male thread is inserted into the insertion hole and is meshed with the female thread,
the stopper is configured to move away from the tank wall, and the at least one in is configured to make contact with the tank wall to regulate movement of the manual valve in one axial direction, when the male thread is rotated relative to the female thread in one circumferential direction, and
the at least one in is configured to move away from the tank wall, and the stopper is configured to regulate movement of the manual valve in an other axial direction, when the male thread is rotated relative to the female thread in an other circumferential direction.

2. The discharge device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an O-ring equipped on the outer periphery of the stem.

3. The discharge device according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one pin includes a plurality of pins shifted from each other in a circumferential direction at a predetermined angle, and
the at least one recess includes a plurality of recesses shifted from each other in the circumferential direction at the predetermined angle.
