Patent ID: 8555926

Claim:
A supply manifold comprising: a housing having an inlet and an internal chamber for receiving a liquid; a plurality of valves disposed on respective outlets of the housing in a linear arrangement, each outlet being adapted to connect to a respective conduit for delivering the liquid to a respective zone, each of the plurality of valves controlling a flow of the liquid from the internal chamber into each respective conduit; a single actuator for individually actuating one of the valves; a first displacement mechanism for displacing the actuator along a longitudinal axis that is parallel to the linear arrangement of the valves to thereby access any one of the valves; and a second displacement mechanism for displacing the actuator orthogonally to the longitudinal axis to thereby cause engagement or disengagement of the actuator with a selected one of the valves for opening or closing, wherein each valve comprises a cross gear having four rounded receptacles for engaging a round bearing extending from the solenoid, the cross gear acting as an indexing mechanism to rotate the valve one quarter turn.
