Electromagnetic valve

An electromagnetic valve (10) includes a valve member (14) located within a valve body (16), and adapted to move in slidable manner within a bore defined in the valve body (16). The movement of the valve member (14) is selectively allowing fluid/fuel flow within the electromagnetic valve (10). The valve body (16) includes a central longitudinal axis (L). The valve member (14) is operatively connected to a valve armature (12), such that activation/deactivation of the valve armature (12) provides the slidable movement of the valve member (14). The valve armature (12) is generally of cylindrical form having an upper face and a lower face wherein the valve body (16) includes an armature chamber (28) within which the valve armature (12) is located. A substantial portion of said upper face (18) of the valve armature (12) is sloped outwardly from said central axis (L).
