ABSTRACT:
A multi-port valve mechanism for fluids, especially compressed air, comprises a cylindrical (ring-like) housing. A motor drives a shaft centered in the housing which is rotatably supported by the housing walls. The shaft carries an arm having one, or two, rollers which pinch close a flexible and resilient elongated tube, which tube is secured to the inside wall of the housing. A series of port orifices are aligned and spaced along the tube; so that an inlet port is connected to outlet ports, one after the other, in sequence, as the pinch roller is moved along the tube by the arm.
