Patent number: 10480543Abstract: A valve assembly has a basic module and a plurality of valve modules which are mounted on the basic module side by side along a line-up direction. The basic module is composed of a first and a second leg which extend at an angle with respect to each other such that the two legs delimit a receiving space for the valve modules on two sides, a fluid area being provided on the first leg which has a fluid connection face formed on an inside of the first leg which is turned towards the second leg and on which fluid connections are provided which communicate with fluid connections of the valve modules. All fluid connections of the valve modules communicate with fluid connections of the fluid connection face. An electrical area in which electrical connections communicating with electrical connections of the valve modules are provided is provided on the second leg.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: BUERKERT WERKE GMBH & CO. KG.Inventors: Martin Ottliczky, Harry Stoesser, Heiko Engler

Patent number: 10465722Abstract: A valve assembly comprises at least one multiple valve having a duct module which includes at least one elongated fluid duct which extends in a straight line along a longitudinal direction and a plurality of branch ducts which open in openings in the fluid duct which are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction in the inner wall of the fluid duct. The multiple valve comprises at least one multiple valve core which is inserted into the fluid duct such that each valve seal can seal one of the openings. The multiple valve core comprises an elongated carrier and at least one valve element, the carrier having at least one support portion for abutment against the inner wall of the fluid duct and at least one receiving area in which the valve element is connected to the carrier so as to be non-displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: BUERGERT WERKE GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Harry Stoesser, Michael Frech, Heiko Engler
