Abstract (en)

It is well known how important it is to maintain sterility on the valve body, and on metered delivery devices in particular, in the cases of valves designed for the metered delivery of e.g. pharmaceutical products. It is for this reason that the valves are subjected to frequent dismantling so that they can be cleaned. Clearly, for economic purposes, these operations of disassembly and subsequent reassembly must be performed as quickly as possible and by one operator. The present invention solves the problem by providing a system for fastening the various members in question by means of magnetic couplings obtained by the insertion of permanent magnets in the vicinity of the contact surfaces. <IMAGE>
