Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2410537A] The flow control device is for dispensing liquid to a predetermined level in a container. The device comprises a tubular body 10 having a closed upper end 11 and an open lower end 12. The device can be connected to the container by a hook 13 or could be an integral part of a tap. An inlet 14 is attached to or provided for attachment to a liquid feed pipe. The device also includes a flap valve 19 which is pivoted within the body below the inlet about an axis extending transversely to the body and which, in the absence of external forces, will adopt an open condition allowing liquid to flow through the body. A float 22 is provided for pivoting the flap valve towards the closed condition as the liquid level in the container rises.
