<p>The invention relates to a floating valve (10), comprising a hollow body (16), which is tiltably supported about a tilt axis (K) between an upper and lower angle of inclination, comprising a valve body (26) that is movably mounted between a first and a second switch position in the hollow body (16), and comprising a flexible infeed hose leading to an inlet (18) of the hollow body (16), wherein the floating valve is characterized in that the hollow body (16) is tube-shaped and comprises only one outlet (20) disposed at one end of the hollow body (16), while the inlet (18) is disposed at the opposite end of the hollow body (16), and in that the outlet comprises a valve seat (28) that is opened in a first switch position and is closed off by the valve body (26) in a second switch position, wherein the inlet end of the hollow body (16) is connected to the tilt axis (K) by means of a partial piece (32) of the infeed hose, such that the valve body (26) can move automatically from the second switch position to the first switch position during an upward motion if an upper tilt angle is exceeded and can move automatically from the first switch position to the second switch position during a downward motion if the tilt angle falls below a lower limit, which is different from the upper tilt angle.</p> |
