Patent number: 11960307Abstract: A pressure control valve for gases and/or liquids comprising a first sealing body and a second sealing body for opening and closing a first flow path and a second flow path, respectively. The first and the second sealing bodies can be installed in an inflow for gases and/or liquids in order to define the first and the second flow paths therein. The first sealing body is guided in an axially movable fashion. The second sealing body is guided in an axially movable fashion within the first sealing body. The first sealing body is movable by a force in the effective direction from an outflow to an inflow from a closing position into an opening position in which the first flow path is opened. The second sealing body is movable by a force in the effective direction from the outflow to the inflow from a closing position into an opening position in which the second flow path is opened.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Inventor: Andreas Zieger

Patent number: 9541213Abstract: An electromagnetic valve for a pressure container and which includes a manual shut-off of the valve, a stop, and an electromagnetic shut-off of the valve with a sealing element, a magnet coil, a tappet, and a spring element. When the magnet coil has been currentlessly switched and deactivated, the tappet pressed against the sealing element by the spring element presses the sealing element onto a second opening so as to suppress a fluidic connection from the pressure container. Also, when the magnet coil is activated, the tappet can be moved away from the sealing element as far as the stop, such that the fluidic connection can be released.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2011Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: MAGNA STEYR Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KGInventor: Andreas Zieger

Publication number: 20140042352Abstract: A solenoid valve for a pressure container, that includes a valve housing and a valve base member having a first opening for directing the fluid into and/or out of a pressure container and a second opening for directing the fluid into or out of the valve. The valve is constructed in such a manner that only a small application of force has to be provided in order to move a sealing element from its seat and to release a direct connection between a first opening for directing the fluid into and out of the pressure container and a second opening for directing the fluid into and out of the valve. The fluid is directed through the first opening into a space which extends between a tappet and the sealing element, whereby a pressure is built up in the space and a first positioning path travels by the tappet when an magnetic coil is activated so that the through-hole of the sealing element is released and the sealing element retains its position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2011Publication date: February 13, 2014Applicant: MAGNA STEYR Fahrzeugtechnik AG & CO. KGInventor: Andreas Zieger
