Patent attributes
A water supply mechanism includes a switching part that executes switching between water supply and water shut-off, a manual operation valve on the switching part that is capable of a manual operation thereof, and a pushing member that pushes the manual operation valve to provide a valve-closed state. The manual operation valve is pulled in a direction opposite to a pushing direction of the pushing member to provide a valve-opened state. The manual operation valve includes a plunger, an external cylinder member that encloses the plunger, a first engaging point in the external cylinder member, and a fixation part in the external cylinder member that fixes the plunger in the valve-closed state or the valve-opened state. The plunger moves beyond the first engaging point as the manual operation valve is pulled, and is fixed in the valve-opened state as a pull of the manual operation valve is released.
