Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A mounting base for a motor operated valve, the base including: a plate having first and second sides, said first side being adapted to mount a motor; a mounting bracket on said second side of said plate, said mounting bracket having first and second branches extending from said second side and a bridging segment between said branches, said bridging segment being spaced from said second side of said plate and having an outer surface in predetermined alignment with said first side of said plate; a passage in said bridging element to receive a valve stem housing; a pair of slots in said bracket, said slots extending from said passage in opposite directions along the length of said bridging element, said slots extending through said bridging element and into said first and second branches to divide said bridge into first and second gripping elements; and means to urge said first and second gripping elements toward each other to lock said mounting base on a valve housing.
