Patent attributes
This invention relates to a magnetically actuated valve (60), in particular for a mixing apparatus, comprising mechanical means (50, 51, 53, 62) for opening and closing the valve (60), at least one ferromagnetic metal pin (52) mobile between a rest position and an operating position, and at least one activation magnet (61) mobile between a first position and a second position, said mechanical means (50, 51, 53, 62) being capable to interact with said at least one ferromagnetic metal pin (52) for opening and closing the valve (60), said at least one activation magnet (61) being capable to magnetically interact with said at least one ferromagnetic metal pin (52), the valve (60) being characterized in that it comprises sliding mechanical means (63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68) comprising a slide (63) integrally coupled to said at least one activation magnet (61) and mobile between an initial position and a final position. This invention further relates to an apparatus for mixing a liquid comprising such magnetically actuated valve (60).
