Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016113686A1] The invention relates to an inlet valve arrangement (10) for a toilet cistern which is configured to regulate and control the flow of water. The arrangement includes a connector (12) which is connectable to an inlet water supply, a valve body (14) which is connected to the connector (12) and defines a valve inlet (16); and a sealing mechanism which includes a sealing member (18) which is displaceable relative to the valve body (14) between an open position in which water is permitted to pass through the valve inlet (16) and a closed position in which the sealing member (18) seals off the valve inlet (16) in order to prevent water from passing through the valve inlet (16). An over-centre linkage (20) is connected to the sealing member (18), movable in over-centre fashion between a first position in which the sealing member (18) is in its open position and a second position in which the sealing member (18) is in its closed position.
