Abstract: A fluid control element has a housing (10), a fluid control space (12) formed in the housing and into which at least two flow ducts (16) open, at least one sealing seat (14) arranged in the fluid control space (12) and associated with one of the flow ducts and a movable lug (30) extending into the fluid control space (12), the lug (30) being encased in an elastic material and being able to cover the sealing seat and constituting one arm of a reed. Furthermore, two rotary joints are provided for the reed which are formed by a tightly surrounding casing which is fashioned of the elastic material and is held in the housing. The second arm of the reed extends out from the control space (12) as an actuating arm (22). The two rotary joints arranged opposite to one another transversely in relation to a longitudinal direction of the lug (30) in opposite housing walls with the result that the control element may be moved independently from the pressure in the fluid control space (12).

Abstract: The solenoid valve, which can be used as a single valve to control small flow quantities, or also as a pilot valve for valves controlling larger flow quantities of a medium, has a narrow, oblong cuboid valve housing (10), in which two seal seats (38, 40) and an oblong chamber (26) are formed. In this chamber (26) a bar-shaped armature (28) is movably accommodated and pivotally located on a blunt edge (30). The armature (28) has two recesses (42, 44) each opposite the seal seats (38, 40). A seal (46, 48) is located in each recess. The armature (28) is retained in its functional position by means of a return spring (50) stabilised in position on the floor of the chamber (26), the spring engaging in one recess (44) of the armature (28).
