Abstract
This invention relates to a molded fluid circuit plate which is used in a circuit module that distributes fluid under pressure to a plurality of logic control valve devices that may be removably secured to the circuit module. This molded fluid circuit plate constitutes a slab that has formed in either one or both of its sides, or has extending therethrough, a plurality of polygonal chambers, each chamber being separated from the adjacent chambers disposed thereabout by a plurality of partitions. When the chambers are formed in one or both sides of the circuit plate, one edge of each partition is integral with and severable from the corresponding side of the circuit plate. Each of the opposite ends of each partition on either side of or extending through the circuit plate is integral with one of a pair of a plurality of pairs of strengthening hubs or posts formed on the corresponding side of the circuit plate or extending therethrough, and from which posts radially extend several other partitions, each of which partitions separates a pair of the plurality of chambers.
