Abstract

An air suction valve for storage bag includes a body, a flat valve, a control knob and a lid; the body containing an air duct, a port below the air duct to be closed by the plate valve; the control knob being provided on the plate valve to engage longitudinal displacement to control the plate valve to descend to shut off or to ascend to open up; the lid in relation to the air duct being adapted to the control knob and provided with a air suction port; and an assembly gap being formed to the air suction port to connect through the atmosphere.

Claims (12)

1. A storage bag air suction valve is comprised of a valve body, a flat valve, a control knob, and a lid; the air suction valve being assembled to the bag; and the air suction of the lid being used to draw out the air in the bag;

the valve body being fixed to the bag, containing an air duct, multiple protruded bits extending inwardly being provided on the sidewall surrounding the air duct, a port in a diameter slightly smaller than that of the air duct being disposed below the air duct, and both of the air duct and port being connected through the interior of the bag;

the flat valve being provided on its peripheral multiple recesses to admit flow of air, multiple supports being defined by those recesses, and the flat valve being filled in the air duct of the valve body to free descend to attach to the port;

the control knob contains a hollow ring, an air discharge duct being formed in the ring, multiple chutes being provided on the peripheral of the ring in relation to those protruded bits, the control knob being provided in the air duct of the valve body, those protruded bits of the air duct being stick into their respective chutes; and the control knob engaging in longitudinal displacement in the air duct; and

the lid being fixed to the valve body at where above the control knob, and an air suction port being provided to the lid at where in relation to the air duct and the air discharge duct of the control knob.

2. The storage bag air suction valve of claim 1 , wherein; the air duct is provided at the center of an upper plate, the port is provided at the center of a lower plate, and the bag is sandwiched by both plates.

3. The storage bag air suction valve of claim 2 , wherein; the multiple locking holes are provide on the upper plate and multiple corresponding latches are provided on the lower plate for both plates to be locked to each other.

4. The storage bag air suction valve of claim 2 , wherein; multiple ribs are provided to the lower plate to prevent the port from being blocked by the bag.

5. The storage bag air suction valve of claim 1 , wherein; the control knob includes a lever each sticking out of the lid on both sides of the ring for control by turning.

6. The storage bag air suction valve of claim 5 , wherein; the lid includes a slot each provided on both sides of the lid to permit the levers of the control knob to stick out.

7. The storage bag air suction valve of claim 1 , wherein; the lid includes a protruded ring provided at where below the air suction port to connect the lid to the air discharge duct of the control knob.

8. The storage bag air suction valve of claim 1 , wherein; the lid includes multiple latches to lock to the body of the valve.
