Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetic valve assembly including a housing, a movable core axially, movably disposed in the housing, an electromagnetic coil positioned adjacent the movable core actuatable to move the movable core from a first position to a second position upon energization of the electromagnetic coil, a shaft coaxial with the movable core and axially movable together with the movable core, a valve mechanism including a valve member axially movably mounted on the shaft, a first and second valve seat disposed in the housing, the valve member being seated on the first valve seat when the movable core is in the first position and being seated on the second valve seat when the movable core is in the second position, a first spring member for continuously biasing the shaft and movable core to the first position, a stopper member secured to the housing engageable with the shaft and movable core upon the movable core being disposed in the first position and a second spring member for continuously biasing the valve member so as to be seated on the first valve seat.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
An electromagnetic valve assembly comprising: a housing; a movable core axially, movably disposed in said housing; an electromagnetic coil positioned adjacent said movable core actuatable to move said movable core from a first position to a second position upon energization of said electromagnetic coil; a shaft coaxial with said movable core and axially movable together with said movable core; valve means including a valve member axially, movably mounted on said shaft, a first and second valve seat disposed in said housing, said valve member being seated on said first valve seat when said movable core is in said first position and being seated on said second valve seat when said movable core is in said second position; first spring means for continuously biasing said shaft and movable core to said first position; a stopper member secured to said housing engageable with said shaft and movable core upon said movable core being disposed in said first position; and second spring means separately positioned from said first spring means and mounted on said shaft for continuously biasing said valve member so as to be seated on said first valve seat.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
An electromagnetic valve assembly comprising: a housing; a movable core axially, movably disposed in said housing; an electromagnetic coil positioned adjacent said movable core actuatable to move said movable core from a first position to a second position upon energization of said electromagnetic coil; a shaft coaxial with said movable core and axially movable together with said movable core; valve means including a valve member axially, movably mounted on said shaft, a first and second valve seat disposed in said housing, said valve member being seated on said first valve seat when said movable core is in said first position and being seated on said second valve seat when said movable core is in said second position; first spring means for continuously biasing said shaft and movable core to said first position; a stopper member secured to said housing engageable with said shaft and movable core upon said movable core being disposed in said first position; and second spring means separately positioned from said first spring means and mounted on said shaft for continuously biasing said valve member so as to be seated on said first valve seat.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
An electromagnetic valve assembly as set forth in claim 1, further comprising: means mounted on said shaft for engagement of said valve member in a predetermined position between said first position and said second position for limiting axial movement of said valve member along said shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
An electromagnetic valve assembly as set forth in claim 2, said means for limiting axial movement of said valve member comprising a clip member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
An electromagnetic valve assembly as set forth in claim 1, further comprising: holder means secured to said housing; and a bellows sealingly disposed between said shaft and said holder means for assisting axial movement of said shaft.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
An electromagnetic valve assembly as set forth in claims 1 or 2, further comprising inlet and outlet port means wherein said valve means controls communication between said inlet and outlet port means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
233 words
An electromagnetic valve assembly comprising: a housing; a movable core axially, movably disposed in said housing; an electromagnetic coil positioned adjacent said movable core actuatable to move said movable core from a first position to a second position upon energization of said electromagnetic coil; a shaft coaxial with said movable core and axially movable together with said movable core; valve means including a valve member axially, movably mounted on said shaft, a first and second valve seat disposed in said housing, said valve member being seated on said first valve seat when said movable core is in said first position and being seated on said second valve seat when said movable core is in said second position; first spring means for continuously biasing said shaft and movable core to said first position; a stopper member secured to said housing engageable with said shaft and movable core upon said movable core being disposed in said first position; second spring means for continuously biasing said valve member so as to be seated on said first valve seat; means mounted on said shaft for engagement of said valve member in a predetermined position between first position and said second position for limiting axial movement of said valve member along said shaft; holder means secured to said housing; and a bellows sealingly disposed between said shaft and said holder means for assisting axial movement of said shaft.
