Abstract

This invention has an objective of offering a spherical valve, which has a valve chamber with a space enough for receiving a valve therein, and letting the valve move smoothly therein. A connecting member respectively formed at two sides of the valve chamber is for connecting with exterior tubes, having an annular projecting portion with a comparatively large thickness so that shrinking occurring during inject-forming process of the body may be offset by the annular projecting portions so that the valve chamber may not be deformed so that the valve may move smoothly in the valve chamber.

Claims

1. A spherical valve comprising:

a body provided with a valve chamber defined by an annular wall, said annular wall having an even thickness, a connecting member provided at two sides of said valve chamber respectively, said connecting members respectively connected with an exterior tube and having an inlet and an exit for liquid to flow through, said connecting members provided with an annular projecting portion with a comparative thickness;

A valve having a valve body and a shaft, said valve body provided with a through hole possible to communicate with said inlet and said outlet of said connecting members of said body, said shaft extending up from said valve body and combined with a handle on an upper end.

2. The spherical valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein said annular wall has a permissible difference in its thickness.

3. The spherical valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein said annular wall of said valve chamber has a thickness (D) smaller than a thickness (D1) of a wall of said annular projecting portion
