Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to level adjusters, and particularly to a level adjuster of a water supply of a water box serves for adjusting the amount of water in a water box conveniently and easily. The amount of water in the water box can be precisely controlled and the operation is easy without any other auxiliary tool. No problem of element fatigue and change of water level.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Stool has become a necessary device for the currently life, but generally, the water supplied to the stool is unadjustable and a large amount of water is supplied for each time the stool is used so that water is wasted. Tools are necessary for adjusting water supplied to the stool, however, this is inconvenient, and thus the user can not determine the water to flush a stool each time the stool is used.
A prior art water supply is illustrated in FIG.
1
. The water supply has an inner water injecting tube
52
and an outer water injecting tube
51
and a pontoon
53
. An outer side of the pontoon
53
is pivotally connected to a U shape elastomer
54
. An upper and a lower section of the U shape elastomer
54
are installed with an upper positioning hole
541
and a lower positioning hole
542
. A supporting rod
56
capable of being connected to a press
55
passes through an upper positioning hole
541
and a lower positioning hole
542
. By the expanding elastic force of the U shape elastomer
54
, the edges of the positioning holes
541
and
542
can be buckled to the supporting rod
56
. When the U shape elastomer
54
are pressed at two ends thereof, the edges of the upper positioning hole
541
and the lower positioning hole
542
will disengage with the supporting rod
56
(the diameter of the upper and lower positioning holes
541
and
542
are slightly larger than the diameter of the supporting rod
56
). The user can adjust the pontoon
53
to a desired level and the U shape elastomer
54
can be positioned on the supporting rod
56
. Although this structure can adjust the water amount rapidly, but the advantage is that the edges of the upper and lower positioning holes
541
and
542
are obliquely buckled to the supporting rod
56
. It is possible that the rod slides due to the buoyance of the pontoon
15
. Especially when the U shape elastomer has elastic fatigue. Thereby, the water level to be controlled has a shift from the predict level, and the water stored is wasted due to change of level.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a level adjuster of a water supply of a water box comprising a press, a supporting rod, an pressable button, a positioning seat, a pontoon, an inner water injecting tube and an outer water injecting tube of a water injector. The user can press the pressable button to force the elastomer of the positioning seat to reduce backwards, and thereby, the positioning block will retract from the positioning groove of the supporting rod. Therefore, the user can adjust the level of the pontoon. After adjusting to a desire level, the pressable button is released. Then the elastomer of the positioning seat restores to drive the block to be buckled to the positioning groove of the supporting rod. After the level positioning operation is completed, and when it is stated to fill water into a water box, the pontoon will move to a predetermined height due to the buoyance of water, the pontoon will drive the press to press the water stop pin of the water supply. Thereby, by the present invention, the amount of water in the water box can be precisely controlled and the operation is easy without any other auxiliary tool. No problem of element fatigue and change of water level. The amount of water in the water box can be precisely controlled and the operation is easy without any other auxiliary tool. No problem of element fatigue and change of water level.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3
, the perspective view and exploded perspective view of the present invention are illustrated. The present invention includes a water supply
2
with a level adjusting device
1
. The level adjusting device
1
is formed by a press
11
, a supporting rod
12
, an pressable button
13
, a positioning seat
14
, a pontoon
15
, an inner water injecting tube
21
and and outer water injecting tube
22
of a water injector
2
.
The press
11
has a front section. The front section has a first inserting hole
111
which is pivotally connected to a positioning hole
221
of the water supply
2
by a pin A. A distal end of the press
11
is installed with a second inserting hole
112
which is pivotally connected to a pivotal hole
121
at a top end of the supporting rod
12
by a pin A.
The supporting rod
12
has a top installed with the pivotal hole
121
corresponding to the second inserting hole
112
of the press
11
. An inner side of the supporting rod
12
is installed with a groove row
122
formed by at least one positioning groove
1220
. The groove row
122
of the supporting rod
12
has an upper limiting block
123
at an upper side thereof and a lower end of the supporting rod
12
is pivotally connected with a lower limiting block
124
which are utilized as an upper limit and a lower limit of the position pressable button
13
moving along the supporting rod
12
.
The pressable button
13
has an inner side which is installed with a engaging hole for being inserted by the connecting posts
142
of the positioning seat
14
. An upper and a lower side of the pressable button
13
are installed with corresponding notches
132
for confining the movement of the pressable button
13
and the supporting rod
12
.
The positioning seat
14
has a transversal plate with two posts
142
at two ends of the plate. Each post
142
is installed with an elastomer
143
. A positioning block
141
capable of buckling the supporting rod
12
and the positioning groove
1220
is installed between the two connecting posts
142
.
The pontoon
15
has a round hole
151
at one side for being inserted by an outer water injecting tube
22
of the water supply
2
. Another side of the pontoon
15
is installed with a via hole
152
for being inserted by the supporting rod
12
. One lateral side of the via hole
152
is communicated with an opened receiving chamber
153
for receiving the pressable button
13
.
By above components, referring to
FIGS. 4
,
5
, and
6
, the user can press the pressable button
13
to force the elastomer
143
of the positioning seat
14
to reduce backwards, and thereby, the positioning block
141
will retract from the positioning groove
122
of the supporting rod
12
. Therefore, the user can adjust the level of the pontoon
15
. After adjusting to a desire level, the pressable button
13
is released. Then the elastomer
143
of the positioning seat
14
restores to drive the block
141
to be buckled to the positioning groove
1220
of the supporting rod
12
. After the level positioning operation is completed, and when it is stated to fill water into a water box
3
, the pontoon
15
will move to a predetermined height due to the buoyance of water, the pontoon
15
will drive the press
11
to press the water stop pin
222
of the water supply
2
.
Thereby, by the present invention, the amount of water in the water box can be precisely controlled and the operation is easy without any other auxiliary tool. No problem of element fatigue and change of water level occurs.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
