  • Patent number: 6863255
    Abstract: A solenoid improvement has been achieved in terms of abrasion resistance. A fluid accumulating chamber Q is formed substantially coaxially with a plunger chamber P and on the opposite side of a center post 4 through the intermediation of the plunger chamber P. On the outer peripheral side of the rod 6, there is provided a first bearing 7 for separating the plunger chamber P and the fluid accumulating chamber Q from each other.

  • Publication number: 20040113730
    Abstract: Provided is a solenoid which is easier to assemble and which is improved in terms of operability. The solenoid is provided with a snap ring 22 which helps to integrate the molded coil 2 and the solenoid main body 3 into one, whereby it is possible to finally integrate the molded coil 2 and the solenoid main body 3 with each other after various operation processes; by finally attaching the molded coil 2, the lead wire 9 extending from the molded coil 2 constitutes no obstacle, and the assembly is facilitated, thus achieving an improvement in terms of operability.

  • Publication number: 20030136931
    Abstract: Disclosed is a solenoid of superior quality in which an improvement has been achieved in terms of abrasion resistance. A fluid accumulating chamber Q is formed substantially coaxially with a plunger chamber P and on the opposite side of a center post 4 through the intermediation of the plunger chamber P. On the outer peripheral side of the rod 6, there is provided a first bearing for separating the plunger chamber P and the fluid accumulating chamber Q from each other.

  • Patent number: 6398516
    Abstract: A control valve is provided to be mainly used in a clutch-less compressor of the type in which displacement of the compressor is varied depending on the inclination of a drive plate which varies depending on the crank pressure. The control valve includes biasing means that applies force to a valve body, a force transferring member that urges the valve body to forcibly open the valve, and a solenoid assembly to actuate the force transferring member. The valve remains closed when no electric current is supplied to the solenoid assembly, regardless of the crank pressure or the suction pressure. This facilitates minimum displacement operation of the compressor for a desired period of time and therefore makes the valve suitable for a clutch-less type compressor that is directly connected to an engine with a belt and/or a pulley.
