An electromagnetically operable valve has a valve member which is coupled to a generally rectangular plate-like armature. The armature is attracted towards the pole faces of an "E" core when a winding on the core is energized. The movement of the armature towards the core is determined by the abutment of parts of the armature with a stop plate and the movement of the armature away from the core by the abutment of parts of the armature with a spacer positioned between the stop plate and a housing. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An electromagnetically operable valve comprising a housing, a valve body mounted in the housing and a valve member axially slidable in the valve body between open and closed positions, an armature of plate-like generally rectangular form connected to the valve member, the armature extending generally transversely to the axis of movement of the valve member, a magnetic "E" core having an inner and a pair of outer limbs each defining a pole face respectively presented to the armature, a stop plate engaged by the outer limbs of the core, and a spacer positioned between the stop plate and the housing, retaining screws securing the core, the stop plate and the spacer to the housing, said stop plate having a central aperture through which a part of the armature can pass, a pair of opposite edges of the armature being recessed so as to form stop surfaces lying behind the face of the armature presented to the core, said stop surfaces in use, engaging with said stop plate to determine the extent of movement of the armature toward the core, the movement of the armature away from the core being limited by the abutment of portions of the armature with the spacer.
2.
A valve according to claim 1 in which the face of the stop plate remote from the core defines a rim which engages said spacer, the axial width of the rim being chosen during assembly of the valve to provide the required travel of the armature.
3.
A valve according to claim 2 in which said spacer has a central opening which is shaped to allow the armature to be passed through in one relative angular setting of the armature and spacer but in another relative angular setting the corners of the armature interfere with the spacer.
4.
A valve according to claim 1 in which the valve member defines a valve head for co-operation with a seating defined in the valve body, the movement of the valve member between its open and closed positions being less than the movement of the armature, the connection between the armature and the valve member incorporating a spring which yields to allow continued movement of the armature towards the core after the valve head has engaged the seating
