Patent ID: 6889668

Claim:
A system for flowing fuel vapor through a canister purge valve comprising: a valve body having a wall defining a passage between a first port and a second port, the first port adapted for fuel vapor communication with a fuel vapor collection canister, the second port adapted for fuel vapor communication with an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine; an elastomeric member disposed in the passage, the elastomeric member having a first end, a second end, and an active zone between the first end and the second end, the active zone forming a flow entry portion, a sealing portion, and a flow exit portion, the elastomeric member being deformable between a first configuration that prohibits flow over the sealing portion, and a second configuration that permits flow over the sealing portion; a stator proximate the passage; an electromagnetic coil surrounding the passage; and an armature coupled to the elastomeric member.
