A change-over valve including a valve housing defining an inlet port for receiving fluid from a fluid pressure supply, a first outlet port for feeding operating fluid to a first fluid responsive actuator, a second outlet port for feeding operating fluid to a second fluid responsive actuator, and drain port means for draining fluid to a fluid reservoir; and a spool retained by the housing and movable therein between first and second positions, the housing and the spool in its first position providing communication between the inlet port and the first outlet port and preventing communication between the inlet port and the second outlet port, and the housing and the spool in its second position providing communication between the inlet port and the second outlet port, and preventing communication between the inlet port and the first outlet port. Also included is a control valve movable between open and closed positions in response to the fluid pressure at the first outlet port, the control valve providing communication between the second outlet port and the drain port means when in its open position and preventing communication therebetween when in its closed position.

Change-over valve

There is disclosed a solenoid-operated selector valve adapted for control of hydraulic clutches such as of a tractor. The selector valve has four ports and can assume two positions. The selector valve includes a spool having an axially extending hole. A piston and a sequence valve are held in this hole. The sequence valve can relieve the pressure. The hole is in communication with the outside of the spool via first through third radially extending holes. The pressure inside one cylinder port which is normally connected with the pump port is maintained constant even when the engaged clutch is being switched to the other. This pressure is not reduced down to zero until the pressure inside the other cylinder port reaches a predetermined pressure.

Solenoid-operated selector valve

A solenoid for an electromagnetic valve which has an exciting coil, a tubular hollow inner housing with a shaft sleeve portion thereof disposed within the coil, a tubular slide guide having a bottom made of a non-magnetic material which is contained within the housing, a stopper with a stationary shaft portion fitted in an opening end of the slide guide, and a plunger slidably contained within the slide guide which is defined by the end face of the shaft portion and the bottom marginal portion of the slide guide.
