The invention provides an actuator for actuating a pallet of a pipe organ under the command of a key of an organ. The actuator comprises a movable member, adapted to be connected to the pallet of the organ pipe and a magnetic plunger, mounted on the movable member. It also comprises an electromagnet having a gap within which the magnetic plunger can be inserted and moved, wherein the electromagnet when energized moves the member to thereby actuate the pallet. A controller unit controls a current in the electromagnet to provide a controlled actuation of the pallet that is proportional to a key dip of the key. It also provides for a system based on a digital serial link for controlling an assembly of organ pallets that are actuated by electromagnets. |

The invention relates to a method for the operation of a pipe organ, with at least one of the valves being provided as a valve actuated in multiple ways which can be controlled to open at least on the basis of two different note demands. In accordance with the invention, on a note demand on a valve actuated in multiple ways which is already open due to another note demand, the valve actuated in multiple ways is closed for an interruption time period and then opened again. The invention further relates to a method for the operation of a pipe organ, wherein information input at the console is transmitted via a data bus to remote receiver units which are connected to valves and/or stop pallets for their control, with the receiver units determining individually from the information transmitted whether, and if so, which of the valves and/or stop pallets connected to the respective receiver unit are to be opened or closed. The invention further relates to a pipe organ with which the method in accordance with the invention can be carried out. |

An electromagnetic valve for a pipe organ is located and operated so that the valve closure member opens and closes the windway to the pipe at an obtuse angle thereby slowing down the opening of the windway to prevent or minimize overblowing and eliminating or minimizing rebounding of the closure member when it closes the windway to minimize or eliminate unwanted continued speech by the pipe. |

The pipe organ valve is comprised of a soft flexible membrane in the form of a disk adapted to be secured to a suitable actuator such as the armature of a solenoid adjacent the center of the disk and a semi-rigid ring member secured to the perimeter of the disk to maintain the disk taut while permitting flexing of the ring transversely to the plane of the ring and permitting distortion of the ring member from its normal plane. The valve member is a light weight composite of a disk of soft flexible resilient leather and a disk of woven material bonded together. The pipe organ valve may be mounted adjacent the air passage of a wind chest with the center of the disk off set from the axis of the air passage whereby one portion of the periphery of the valve member will separate from the valve seat prior to the remainder of the periphery. |

An electric valve for pipe organs is adapted to be mounted within an air chest and is provided with a valve member on an armature adapted to cooperate with a valve seat surrounding an air passage in the chest leading to a pipe. The valve member is comprised of a base member, a resilient member and a valve seat engaging member adhesively secured together with sufficient slack in the valve seat engaging member or the base member and air passages which permit direct contact of the pressurized air within the air chest with the valve seal engaging member to allow bounce of the armature while maintaining the valve seat engaging member in engagement with the valve seat. The armature extends through and is pivoted on a bracket by means of two ball bearings press fitted into sockets on opposite sides of the armature. The sides of the bracket are then pressed toward each other against the ball bearings which will then be pressed into the bracket to form complimentary sockets. |
