Abstract
A pushbutton valve assembly is provided with a body including a space; a control assembly including a pushbutton, a connection subassembly, and two ratcheting subassemblies; an activation assembly having one end secured to the pushbutton, the activation assembly disposed through the connection subassembly to have the other in the space, and the activation assembly including a ratcheting mechanism; and a biasing member anchored between the body and the activation assembly. A pressing of the pushbutton moves down the activation assembly to cause the ratcheting subassemblies to apply a ratcheting action in a downward direction, thereby rotating the activation assembly a first angle, causing the ratcheting mechanism to apply a ratcheting action in the downward direction, and compressing the biasing member. A releasing of the pushbutton rotates the activation assembly a second angle, thereby re-positioning the activation assembly and the control assembly, and increasing or decreasing flow.
