Patent ID: 7923124

Claim:
A laminated structure for a fluid comprising: three block members made up of a first block member, an intermediate member, and a second block member, wherein the first block member, the intermediate member, and the second block member are stacked together in this order to form the laminated structure, and are joined mutually such that the intermediate member contacts the first and second block members, and further wherein the elastic constant of the intermediate member is set to be greater than the elastic constants of the first block member and the second block member; and a solenoid valve affixed to the intermediate member, wherein the second block defines at least one inlet orifice for inserting fluid inside the laminated structure via the inlet orifice, the inlet orifice being in fluid communication with a hole defined through the intermediate member, the hole being in fluid communication with a groove defined in the first block such that a fluid flow passage is formed between the first and second block members.
