Abstract: An electromagnetic valve, comprises a casing for defining a flow passage therein; a valve member mounted in the casing for bi-directional movement between two positions for opening and closing the flow passage; an electromagnetic mechanism for moving the valve member in one of the two directions, including a core for magnetically attracting the valve member; a support for supporting the valve member in the casing and for moving the valve member in the other direction; and at least one resilient projection for limiting the movement of the valve member in the one direction for maintaining a separation between the valve member and the core.

Abstract: An electrical apparatus is disclosed which comprises a combination of a solenoid device such as a solenoid valve, a relay or a plunger driving solenoid device and an energization control circuit which energizes the solenoid device. One end of an electrical cable is connected to the solenoid valve while the other end of the cable is connected to a connector. The electrical cable prevents the transmission of oscillations which the solenoid valve experiences to the connector. The energization control circuit is housed within the connector. The energization control circuit responds to a changing of a given switch from its on to its off condition, by energizing the electrical coil only during a given time interval. When the time interval has passed, it interrupts the energization of the electrical coil, and the energization control circuit itself is substantially disconnected from the power source.

Abstract: A collision between members is prevented as a movable part moves. A guide member is disposed along a diaphragm which supports a valve element. The guide member have a curved surface which the diaphragm, whereby a region of the guide member where it abuts against the diaphragm shifts. By shifting the fulcrum for the diaphragm, an operating response is achieved which stops the movement of the valve element before a gap between it and a core of magnetizable material reduced to zero as the valve element is attracted by the core. To define a positive change in the position of the fulcrum, the guide member is formed of a metallic material. The guide member is formed with openings to reduce its rigidity.
