Latest Patents
Tracy holds a patent for an autosecuring solenoid. This invention utilizes an interposing device that restrains the solenoid plunger when the solenoid is either de-energized or energized. This mechanism effectively prevents undesired movement of the plunger. When voltage is applied across the coil, the flowing current generates a magnetic field that causes the plunger to slide within the solenoid cavity, unless restrained. The invention also features a movable magnet in the interposing device, which can move either toward or away from the plunger depending on the magnetic field orientation.
