US Patent 7950624 Water valve apparatus

A water valve apparatus includes a housing and a control valve stem. The housing has a spacer to divide the interior space and a base with a plurality of water outlets formed thereon. The spacer has a first opening. The base has a second opening corresponding to the first opening. The spacer and base are interposed by a displacement track. The displacement track has at least one first anchor zone and one second anchor zone. The valve control stem runs through the first opening and second opening, and has a water stopper located in the first opening and an anchor ring movably coupled thereon. The anchor ring has at least an anchor stub in the displacement track. The valve control stem is operable easily to allow users to determine water supply. No excessive contact with water faucets is needed. Thus the risk of bacteria contagion can be minimized.
