Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a magnetic valve assembly of the type in which a solenoid plunger upon excitation by a magnetic coil is displaceable against a housing end face having a valve seat. The plunger has a bore in which is disposed a closing element. A return spring in the plunger bore biasing the plunger away from the valve seat is between the far end of the plunger and a fixed abutment element which passes through the plunger. The plunger has a hole surrounding the abutment element which is sized to allow the plunger engage the valve seat and to limit the movement of the plunger away from the valve seat.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A magnetic valve assembly comprising, a housing element having an end face and a flow passage bore opening into said end face, a valve seat in said end face surrounding said opening, solenoid guide means having a longitudinal bore in axial alignment with said valve seat, a solenoid plunger having an axially extending bore, said plunger being disposed in said longitudinal bore, a sleeve element fixed in said plunger bore having an end thereof engageable with said valve seat, an abutment element fixed to said guide means and extending transversely of said guide means bore, said plunger having hole means surrounding said abutment element sized to allow said sleeve element to engage said valve seat and to limit the movement of said plunger away from said valve seat, a closing member in said plunger bore between said sleeve element and one side of said abutment element, and only return spring means in said plunger bore on the side thereof opposite said one side of said abutment element to bias said plunger away from said valve seat.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
A magnetic valve assembly comprising, a housing element having an end face and a flow passage bore opening into said end face, a valve seat in said end face surrounding said opening, solenoid guide means having a longitudinal bore in axial alignment with said valve seat, a solenoid plunger having an axially extending bore, said plunger being disposed in said longitudinal bore, a sleeve element fixed in said plunger bore having an end thereof engageable with said valve seat, an abutment element fixed to said guide means and extending transversely of said guide means bore, said plunger having hole means surrounding said abutment element sized to allow said sleeve element to engage said valve seat and to limit the movement of said plunger away from said valve seat, a closing member in said plunger bore between said sleeve element and one side of said abutment element, and only return spring means in said plunger bore on the side thereof opposite said one side of said abutment element to bias said plunger away from said valve seat.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A magnetic valve assembly according to claim 1 in which said plunger bore is a blind hole in which said closing member is held, said return spring being supported at the closed end of said blind hole.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A magnetic valve assembly according to claim 1 including a compensating spring in said plunger bore between said closing member and said abutment element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A magnetic valve assembly according to claim 1 characterized in that said abutment element is a cylindrical pin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
A magnetic valve assembly according to claim 1 characterized in that said solenoid guide means comprises two overlapping tube sections interconnected at the point of overlap, said abutment element passing through the inner one of said tube sections and has the outer one of said tube sections engaging over it.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
A magnetic valve assembly according to claim 5 wherein said solenoid guide means has the form of a magnetic plug with an apron portion, said inner tube section being formed by said apron portion.
