  • Patent number: 10221958
    Abstract: A magnetically toggled valve apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a valve body provides a valve cavity sized and configured for allowing a commodity to selectively flow therethrough, the valve cavity providing a commodity input configured for engagement with a commodity input source, and a commodity output in fluid communication with the commodity input. A toggle plunger is positioned within the valve cavity, with a first end of the toggle plunger providing a plunger magnet, and an opposing second end of the toggle plunger configured for selectively contacting a valve seat provided by a base of the valve cavity, the valve seat being proximal and in fluid communication with the commodity output. The toggle plunger is configured for moving between a closed position and an open position. An actuating magnet is positioned adjacent and external to the valve cavity. The actuating magnet is configured for selectively transitioning between an active state and an inactive state.
