Application No. 09/868,150
wherein said second magnetic flux flows through a second working air gap (second
magnetic flux inherently flows through the air gap that exists shortly before armature 2
of Uemura has reached the solid line position shown in Figure 1 from the position
shown by broken lines in Figure 1).
Claim 8 is readable on Uemura as follows: Electromagnetic actuator according to
claim 7, wherein the second pole face is situated substantially perpendicular to the
direction of movement of the armature (as shown in Figure 1 of Uemura, the ring
shaped projection 6a is situated substantially perpendicular to the direction of
movement of the armature 2).
Claim 9 is readable on Uemura as follows: Electromagnetic actuator according to
claim 7, wherein the first, conical and/or stepped pole face is situated at least partially
within the coil (as shown in Figure 1 of Uemura, the tapered portion 3a of the inner yoke
3 is situated at least partially within the electromagnetic coil 5).
Claim 10 is readable on Uemura as follows: Electromagnetic actuator according
to claim 7, wherein the second pole face is situated between an upper end of an
armature plunger and the coil in the direction of movement of the armature (as shown in
Figure 1 of Uemura, the ring shaped projection 6a is situated between flat portion 2a of
