First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1. A valve comprising a housing defining a cavity having a side wall, a ceiling and an open end, a plunge slidable within the cavity, a control device for causing the plunge movement, characterised in that the cavity has at least one slot on the side wall. 2. The valve of claim 1 , wherein he at least one slot extends from an intermediate part of the side wall. 3. The valve of claim 1 , wherein the at least one slot extends up to the ceiling. 4. The valve of claim 1 , wherein the at least one slot is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the valve. 5. The valve of claim 1 , wherein the housing is made in at least two pieces, between the first piece and the second piece a seat is defined, a damping element is provided in the seat. 6. The valve of claim 1 , wherein the housing has a protruding border partly closing the open end, the plunge has a protruding border overlapping the protruding border of the housing. 7. The valve of claim 1 , wherein the housing defines a protrusion into the cavity. 8. The valve of claim 1 , wherein at least a gap is defined between the side wall and the plunger, wherein the at least a gap has a size smaller than 0.15 millimeters and preferably in the range 0.05-0.15 millimeters and more preferably 0.075 millimeters.
