  • Patent number: 10400908
    Abstract: The invention describes a system which has a solenoid valve and a base provided with one or more housings adapted for receiving a single solenoid valve. Each solenoid valve and each housing of the base has a respective compressed air inlet ducts, first compressed air delivery ducts, second compressed air delivery ducts, first air discharge ducts and second air discharge ducts. The respective ducts are placed in fluid connection with one another. Each solenoid valve is provided with an air slide valve, configured to selectively place in fluid connection the ducts of the solenoid valve. The air slide valve consists of a single spool movable with reciprocating motion along a predefined direction. Each base is provided with a Y-shaped coupling, configured to connect the first compressed air delivery duct of the base and the second compressed air delivery duct of the base, so as to convey the compressed air towards a single outlet hole.

  • Patent number: 10094400
    Abstract: A connection arrangement having at least two bodies of components to be connected to each other and a constraining group for constraining two bodies to each other in a removable manner is disclosed. When the two bodies are in the connection configuration to each other, a recess of one of them defines with a corresponding recess of the other one a respective coupling seat with the constraining group, having at least one pair of locking clamps insertable into a respective coupling seat. When the two bodies are in the connection configuration to each other, they are spaced from each other so that their faces do not have portions in mutual contact with each other.

  • Patent number: 7210393
    Abstract: A progressive-starting unit for pneumatic circuits comprises a line inlet and a line outlet interconnected with each other by a regulating valve that is piloted by a pneumatic piloting inlet. The piloting inlet is controlled by the outlet of a progressive-starting device having an inlet connected upstream of said regulating valve. In this manner a progressive-starting unit is obtained which is insensitive to the conditions downstream of its line outlet.

  • Patent number: 6199590
    Abstract: A modular system to form valve batteries comprises a plurality of valve units (11) to be variously packed in side by side relationship to form the battery. Each valve unit has a face (40) on which outlets for the users appear and through ducts (23, 24, 25) appear on lateral sides thereof, which are intended for being juxtaposed and connected with corresponding ducts (23, 24, 25) of units in side by side relationship. The valve units generally are of parallelepiped shape, the sizes of the mating sides (21, 22) being substantially constant for all units and the thickness of each unit varying on varying of the maximum flow rate of the specific valve unit, to enable a direct coupling between valve units having different maximum flow rates.
