Abstract
This relates to a compact control valve assembly which is particularly intended to be mounted for controlling and operating a station of a multiple station machine such as a container closing machine. The compactness of the valve assembly is made possible by forming a required manifold of an L-shaped configuration including a base and an upstanding part. A first control valve is mounted on the rear wall of the upstanding part to control the flow of fluid through the manifold. Other control valves are mounted on the top wall of the base of the manifold and clamped against a front wall of the upstanding part of the manifold for controlling other operations. By making the manifold L-shaped and fitting the other control valves therein, the entire valve assembly is a compact unit.
