Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19840022C1] Holder (21) can be transferred, through supply of leaked water, into a position in which second magnet (20) is released rotationally. Retaining device (31) supports the second magnet (20) across the shifting direction of the valve body (14), when the holder is transferred from its first position into its second position in order to create a relative movement between holder (21) and magnet (20). Mechanism to prevent over flooding in washing machines in which a valve (2) features a water passage (7) between a tap and the water supply pipe (8), and a valve body (14) located shiftably in the water passage. The valve body (14) is connected to a first magnet (16) and controlled by an operating device (3) with a second magnet (20) and a movable holder (21), which holds the second magnet (20) in one of its positions. The holder (21) can be transferred, through the supply of leaked water, into a position in which the second magnet (20) is released rotationally. A retaining device (31) is provided to support the second magnet across the shifting direction of the valve body (14) when the holder is transferred from its first position into its second position in order to create a relative movement between the holder (21) and the second magnet (20).
