MONOBLOCK BALL VALVE AND MANUFACTURE METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A manufacture method of monoblock ball valves, wherein its components are overmoulded onto each other in a mould with several cores or in successive moulds, forming a single and solid body, comprising sequence injection moulding, wherein each subsequent component is injected onto the previous component thus involving it, wherein the following components are moulded at least in the following order:
- A ball filling element with a valve control stem;
A ball which is moulded onto the ball filling element;
A single sealing element which involves the ball and the inside of the valve, also promotes the sealing at the stem and at the valve'"'"'s inlet and outlet area; and
A valve body.

Abstract
A manufacture method of monoblock ball valve is based on overmoulding techniques and integral assembly of plastic components inside the injection moulds, in a sequential manufacturing process, wherein the component which is injected in the first stage of the process will be sequentially introduced in moulds which will in turn inject other components, thus resulting in the end in a single body that ensures the functional features of a piece obtained by several components'"'"' assembly. The hydraulic ball valve according to the invention comprises at least the following components: a ball filling element or valve filling core with a valve control stem,—a ball that involves the ball filling element; a sleeve-type sealing element, which covers the entire ball and the whole interior part of the valve body, and a valve body.
