Abstract
Abstract A two-way valve has a valve clack cooperating with a seat and mounted with play in a mobile core of an electromagnetic actuator to provide fluid-assisted opening of the valve. The mobile core moves in a chamber connected to the fluid inlet by a restricted annular passage disposed about the core. Movement of the mobile core towards the open position produces an increase in the cross-sectional area of the restricted passage, so that the fluid assistance is initially great, but then decreases.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
245 words
An electromagnetic two-way valve comprising a body, a magnetic core movable under the effect of a magnetic field produced by an electrical winding, a mobile portion movable with said core, a generally disc shaped clack carried by said mobile portion and movable axially with respect thereto, an axially extending valve seat portion provided with a valve seat defining an outlet passage formed in said body in a position to be engaged by said clack, a bleeder hole centrally disposed in said clack, said mobile portion having a flange portion extending closely adjacent said seat portion to form a restricted inlet passageway from a main inlet to a lower face of the clock, said clack having an outer circumference substantially greater than that of the seat and disposed in a position to engage said flange portion upon upward movement thereof, said mobile portion having an annular rib seat portion engageable with said opposite face of the clack in a position to close the bleeder hole, whereby upon initial upward movement of said core and mobile portion, the bleeder hole in the clack is first uncovered permitting a reduction of pressure in the space thereabove, and upon further upward movement, the clack is engaged by the flange portion to close said restricted passageway, at which point the inlet pressure of the incoming fluid will give an upward impulse to the clack and the mobile portion to aid the electromagnetic force in lifting the clack from its seat.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
245 words
An electromagnetic two-way valve comprising a body, a magnetic core movable under the effect of a magnetic field produced by an electrical winding, a mobile portion movable with said core, a generally disc shaped clack carried by said mobile portion and movable axially with respect thereto, an axially extending valve seat portion provided with a valve seat defining an outlet passage formed in said body in a position to be engaged by said clack, a bleeder hole centrally disposed in said clack, said mobile portion having a flange portion extending closely adjacent said seat portion to form a restricted inlet passageway from a main inlet to a lower face of the clock, said clack having an outer circumference substantially greater than that of the seat and disposed in a position to engage said flange portion upon upward movement thereof, said mobile portion having an annular rib seat portion engageable with said opposite face of the clack in a position to close the bleeder hole, whereby upon initial upward movement of said core and mobile portion, the bleeder hole in the clack is first uncovered permitting a reduction of pressure in the space thereabove, and upon further upward movement, the clack is engaged by the flange portion to close said restricted passageway, at which point the inlet pressure of the incoming fluid will give an upward impulse to the clack and the mobile portion to aid the electromagnetic force in lifting the clack from its seat.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A valve according to claim 1 in which the restricted inlet passageway becomes an increased size passageway upon further upward movement after lifting up of the clack by the mobile portion to a position where the flange portion is above the seat portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A valve according to claim 2, in which the mobile portion is formed integrally with the magnetic core.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A valve according to claim 3, in which an annular rib fixed in relation to the valve body is slightly spaced from the outer portion of the mobile portion when in its lower position, providing a second restricted passageway.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A valve according to claim 3, in which an annular elastic membrane is mounted on said body in a position to engage the outer edge of the flange portion in its lower position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
62 words
A valve according to claim 4, in which the mobile portion carries an annular rib seat portion which cooperates with the clack about said hole to obturate it in the closed position of the valve, the diameter of said annular rib being smaller than that of the seat against which the clack bears to obturate the passage communicating with the fluid outlet.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
63 words
A valve according to claim 5, in which the mobile portion carries an annular rib seat portion which cooperates with the clack about said bleeder hole to obturate it in the closed position of the valve, the diameter of said annular rib being smaller than that of the seat against which the clack bears to obturate the passage communicating with the fluid outlet.
