ABSTRACT:
An automatically operating dump valve device for a boat, particularly for a life raft, including a hole made in the bottom of the boat and a flexible chute located under the bottom of the boat being connected in a sealed way to the edge of said hole, the chute is equipped with flotation means placed away from its connection with the hole in the bottom of the boat, by means of which arrangement, when there is no water in the boat, the flotation means bring the chute back up under the bottom of the boat sealing it and the water cannot get into the boat through the chute, whereas, when water is present in the boat and is drawn back towards the aforementioned hole, its weight forces the chute end to drop from the bottom of the boat despite the presence of the flotation means and the water flows out through the chute.
