Abstract

A valve holder is provided, wherein the valve holder include: a base including a through hole; two arm members symmetrically extending from opposing sides of the base, each arm member including first, second and third arms, the first arm and the second arm being separate and connected to the base, the first arm and the second arm being integrally merged with each other and connected to the third arm, the base, the first arm and the second arm forming a room; and two clamping members, each clamping member including a main body connected to the third arm and projections, the main bodies of the two clamping members being arranged in interval and defining a clamping space configured for receiving a valve, the projections being disposed on the clamping member and projecting to be within the clamping space for engaging with the valve.

Claims (13)

1 . A valve holder including:

a base including a through hole extending in a first direction;

two arm members symmetrically extending from opposing sides of the base, each of the two arm members including a first arm, a second arm and a third arm, an end of the first arm and an end of the second arm being separate in the first direction and connected to the base, another end of the first arm and another end of the second arm extending in the first direction and being integrally merged with each other and connected to the third arm, the base, the first arm and the second arm forming a room; and

two clamping members, each of the two clamping members including a main body connected to the third arm and a plurality of projections, the main bodies of the two clamping members being arranged in interval in a direction perpendicular to the first direction and defining a clamping space configured for receiving a portion of a valve, the plurality of projections being disposed on the clamping member and projecting to be within the clamping space for engaging with the valve;

wherein the main body has two of the plurality of projections, one of the two of the plurality of projections is flash with an end surface of the main body remote the base to form a first guide surface, and the first guide surface is inclined to the first direction; the first guide surfaces of the two clamping members extend taperedly toward the base in the first direction, and the first guide surfaces of the two clamping members define an opening.

2 . The valve holder of claim 1 , wherein the base further includes a recess, and the recess is in communication with the through hole.

3 . The valve holder of claim 2 , wherein the base further includes an annular flange, and the annular flange extends around the through hole and is located within the recess.

4 . The valve holder of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of projections extends in the direction perpendicular to the first direction.

5 . The valve holder of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of projections includes two second guide surfaces disposed on opposing sides thereof, and a clamping surface, the clamping surface is configured for engaging with the valve, the first guide surfaces of the two clamping members are connected to and between the clamping surface and the main body, and the two second guide surfaces extend taperedly toward each other in the direction perpendicular to the first direction.

6 . The valve holder of claim 1 , wherein the third arm is connected to a middle portion of the main body.

7 . The valve holder of claim 1 , wherein the base, the two arm members and the two clamping members are integrally formed of one piece.

8 . The valve holder of claim 1 , wherein the third arm includes a first section and a second section, the first section is connected to the first arm and the second arm, the second section is transversely connected to and between the first section and the main body, and a portion of the main body is gapped from the first section.

9 . The valve holder of claim 4 , wherein the base further includes a recess, and the recess is in communication with the through hole; the base further includes an annular flange, and the annular flange extends around the through hole and is located within the recess; each of the plurality of projections includes two second guide surfaces disposed on opposing sides thereof, and a clamping surface, the clamping surface is configured for engaging with the valve, the first guide surfaces of the two clamping members are connected to and between the clamping surface and the main body, and the two second guide surfaces extend taperedly toward each other in the direction perpendicular to the first direction; the third arm is connected to a middle portion of the main body; the base, the two arm members and the two clamping members are integrally formed of one piece; the third arm includes a first section and a second section, the first section is connected to the first arm and the second arm, the second section is transversely connected to and between the first section and the main body, and a portion of the main body is gapped from the first section; the valve holder is made of plastic material; the main body extends arcedly; the recess and the through hole are coaxially arranged; the second section is inclined from the first section and inclined relative to the first direction.
