Electromagnetic valve

Claim 2

An electromagnetic valve adapted to be secured to a mounting bracket, said valve comprising yoke means which includes a pair of projecting elements formed in the body of said valve to protrude outwardly from the mounting side thereof, one of said projecting elements having at its outward end a pawl provided with a preformed bend, and the other projecting element having at its outward end a preformed substantially right angle bend extending towards said one projecting element and having a threaded aperture formed therein, said bend of said one of said projecting elements being adapted to engage the bracket when said bends are brought in contact therewith, said valve further comprising a pair of terminals which are provided in the body of said valve to protrude outwardly therefrom at positions other than said mounting side.

Claim 3

A combination of a plurality of electromagnetic valves and a mounting bracket, each of said electromagnet valves comprising yoke means which includes a pair of projecting elements formed in the body of said valve to protrude outwardly from the mounting side thereof, one of said projecting elements having at its outward end a pawl provided with a preformed bend, and and the other projecting element having at its outward end a preformed substantially right angle bend extending towards said one projecting element and having a threaded aperture formed therein, both of said bends engaging the bracket, the valve further comprising a pair of terminals which are provided in the body of said valve to protrude outwardly therefrom at positions other than said mounting side, said mounting bracket including plural pairs of openings formed therein, said openings in each pair being spaced away from one another by a distance that corresponds to the spacing between the outward ends of said projecting elements in said yoke means, one of said openings in each pair being adapted to receive a screw for tightening the other projecting element to said mounting bracket by screwing said screw into said threaded aperture while the other opening is adapted to be engaged by said pawl of said one projecting element, the plural pairs of said openings being disposed in a relatively close relationship with one another.

Claim 4

A combination of a plurality of electromagnetic valves and a mounting bracket, each of said electromagnet valves comprising yoke means which includes a pair of projecting elements formed in the body of said valve to protrude outwardly from the mounting side thereof, one of said projecting elements having at its outward end a pawl provided with a preformed bend, and and the other projecting element having at its outward end a preformed substantially right angle bend extending towards said one projecting element and having a threaded aperture formed therein, both of said bends engaging the bracket, the valve further comprising a pair of terminals which are provided in the body of said valve to protrude outwardly therefrom at positions other than said mounting side, said mounting bracket including plural pairs of openings formed therein, said openings in each pair being spaced away from one another by a distance that corresponds to the spacing between the outward ends of said projecting elements in said yoke means, one of said openings in each pair being adapted to receive a screw for tightening the other projecting element to said mounting bracket by screwing said screw into said threaded aperture while the other opening is adapted to be engaged by said pawl of said one projecting element, the plural pairs of said openings being disposed in a relatively close relationship with one another.

Claim 5

The combination as defined in claim 2 wherein said terminals of the electromagnetic valves mounted on said bracket are connected with one another by means of leads to form an end arrangement, said end arrangement being covered with a protective casing.

Claim 6

The combination as defined in claim 3 wherein said protective casing is made of a material selected from a group which includes rubber and synthetic resins.
