Abstract:
An electric valve device ( 1 ) for household appliances, includes a hollow body ( 2 ) with an inlet ( 4, 5 ) and an outlet ( 5, 4 ) for a flow of a liquid, between which in the body ( 2 ) there is defined a chamber ( 6 ) wherein a first valve seat ( 7 ) is provided, a (first) obturator ( 17 ) moveably mounted in the chamber ( 6 ) and cooperating with the first seat ( 7 ) for controlling the communication between the inlet ( 4, 5 ) and the outlet ( 5, 4 ), and a movable member ( 12 ) coupled with the obturator ( 17 ) and displaceable towards and away from the first valve seat ( 7 ) and controlled by means of an electrically operable actuator ( 10 ) carried by said body ( 2 ). In the body ( 2 ) a second valve seat ( 8 ) is staggered with respect to the first valve seat ( 7 ) along the direction of displacement of the first obturator ( 7 ), to which is connected a second obturator ( 18 ) displaceable from and towards the second valve seat ( 8 ). The arrangement is such that the obturators ( 17, 18 ) are jointly displaceable away from and towards the corresponding seats ( 7, 8 ), with which they define a first and respectively, second valve, fluidically in series with one another, and both controllable through said electrically operable actuator.

Claim (Index 8):
Electric valve device according to  claim 1 , wherein the contact surface area of said obturators ( 17 ,  18 ) with the associated valve seats ( 7 ,  8 ) are different from one another.
