Retainer band and a valve using the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a retainer band and a valve using the retainer band. The retainer band comprises an annular ring, a gasket and a block member. The annular ring has two terminals, which are opposite to each other. The gasket is formed on a periphery of the annular ring and is perpendicular to the annular ring. In addition, the valve comprises a body, an outlet pipe and an adaptor connected the body and the outlet pipe. The annular ring is provided to install around the adaptor and the block member is provided to wedge in between the two terminals of the annular ring. Therefore, when the outlet pipe is mounted on the second connecting portion of the adaptor, an entry of the outlet pipe tightly covers the annular ring and the block member, and is pressed against the gasket.

1 . A retainer band comprising: 
 an annular ring, having two terminals, in which the two terminals are opposite to each other; and    a block member, wedged in between the two terminals.    
   
   
       2 . The retainer band of  claim 1 , further comprises a gasket formed on a periphery of the annular ring and being perpendicular to the annular ring.  
   
   
       3 . The retainer band of  claim 1 , wherein a side of the block member is pivotally connected to one of the two terminals of the annular ring.  
   
   
       4 . A valve comprising: 
 a body for receiving water and controlling the water flow;    an adaptor having a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion being connected to the body;    two rubber rings, respectively installed around the second connecting portion of the adaptor;    a retainer band, installed around the second connecting portion of the adaptor, and near the first connecting portion; and    an outlet pipe, mounted on the second connecting portion of the adaptor;    wherein the retainer band comprises:    an annular ring, having two terminals, in which the two terminals are opposite to each other;    a gasket, formed on a periphery of the annular ring and being perpendicular to the annular ring; and    a block member, wedged in between the two terminals of the annular ring, when the outlet pipe is mounted on the second connecting portion of the adaptor, an entry of the outlet pipe tightly covers the annular ring and the block member, and is pressed against the gasket.
