Patent ID: 7036490

Claim:
A canister purge valve for regulating fuel vapor flow between a fuel vapor collection canister and an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, that canister purge valve comprising: a body defining a passage extending between a first port and a second port, the first port adapted for fuel vapor communication with fuel vapor collection canister, and the second port adapted for fuel communication with the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine; a seat disposed in the passage, the seat defining aperture having a sealing surface, the sealing surface disposed about central axis; an elastomeric actuator extending through the aperture, the elastomeric actuator being deformable between a first configuration that engages the sealing surface to prohibit fuel vapor flow through the aperture, and a second configuration spaced from the scaling surface to permit fuel vapor flow through the aperture, a stator; an electromagnetic coil; and an armature integrally formed proximate first end of the elastomene actuator.
