Abstract:
In a solenoid operated valve bank having multiple solenoid coil operated valves arranged in a manifold, each said valve having an upper pole piece extending outwardly of said manifold and a lower pole piece within said manifold, each of said valves having a separately actuable coil for actuating said valve when a voltage is applied to said coil, the improvement wherein said coils are bound to one another in a coil pack by a common body and said body binds a bracket to said coils which is common to said coils and made of a magnetic material, said bracket having an L-shaped cross-section and extending from adjacent to said upper pole pieces of said valves at one end of said L-shape, laterally along one end of said coils to a position alongside said coils, and then parallel to an axial direction of said coils alongside of said coils to an opposite end of said L-shape which is adjacent to said manifold.
