JP5177975B2 - Wilky - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a Wilky, which is a tool for opening and closing a valve used when rotating a handle such as a piping valve, and particularly, in the case where an obstacle member such as a column exists around the handle of the valve to be operated. However, the present invention relates to a Wilky that can easily and reliably rotate the handle by selecting a combination of fixed legs to be used.

  Conventionally, when a handle such as a piping valve, a manifold valve, an instrument base valve or the like is rotated, a Wilky is used so that the valve can be easily opened and closed. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 which is a side sectional view showing a state in which the conventional Wilky (51) is inserted into the hole of the handle, the conventional Wilky (51) A pair of fixed legs (53, 54) perpendicular to the axis is provided. Such a Wilky (51) is set so that the dimension from the pair of fixed legs (53) to the fixed legs (54) is within the hole (56) of the valve handle (55). Then, with the fixed leg (53) on the distal end side inserted in the hole (56) of the handle (55), the valve is opened and closed by rotating the operating rod (52) clockwise or counterclockwise. Be able to.

  Further, in the “Wilky for steering wheel” of Patent Document 1, two fixed legs extended from the operation rod and a slide slidably mounted along the operation rod can be moved forward and backward with respect to the fixed leg. There has been proposed a valve handle wheelie having a movable leg, and having the fixed leg and the movable leg spread outwardly from an operating rod.

  According to the wheel handle for the valve handle described in Patent Document 1, the movable leg can be slid even in the case of a mini handle having a small diameter that cannot be used with a pair of fixed legs. Then, the mini handle can be operated by setting the fixed leg and the movable leg so as to be placed on the outer peripheral line of the mini handle.
