Abstract: A drive arrangement for a camshaft (3) of an internal combustion engine is fitted with a facility for rotating the camshaft (3) relatively to a coaxial drive wheel (5) having a switching component (6), which interacts via a spur toothing (7) with the drive wheel (5) and via a helical gearing (8) with the camshaft (3) and can be axially shifted by a servo motor (13). The servo motor (13) is disposed at the end of the camshaft averted from the drive wheel (5). This prevents the axial length of the internal combustion engine from being extended beyond the drive wheel (5) by the servo motor.

Abstract: In a suction pipe installation for multicylinder internal combustion engine with a collector suction pipe, a suction distributor is connected therewith. Adjacently disposed individual suction pipes form a unitary unit with the collector suction pipe. The individual suction pipes extend from the flanges a curve of more than 90.degree. to connecting flanges. The collector suction pipe 1 is mounted in the chamber enclosed by the individual suction pipes, so that it does not require any additional space. A quiet airflow is formed in the straight line segment of the collection suction pipe 1, and in which an air amount meter 18 for a fuel injection installation is installed.

Abstract: A rotary compressor includes a casing 1 having a curved rotor chamber 2 in which is mounted a rotor 6. The compressor has an outlet valve 10 consisting of two valve units 10a, 10b which are located on inclined support surfaces 12 and outlet passages 11 from the chamber 2 open into the surfaces 12. Each valve unit 10a, 10b consists of a valve seat 15, a valve plate 13 and a limit plate 14, the valve seat 15 having apertures which register with passages 11 and the valve plate 13 having apertures which are staggered from the apertures in the valve seat 15. The support surfaces 12 are positioned close to the chamber 2 so that the length of the passages is small and the "dead volume" between the chamber 2 and the valve plate 13 is reduced.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine includes an air suction pipe, a throttle valve located in the pipe, and a member, upstream of the throttle valve, which is actuatable by air flowing through the suction pipe so as to move a piston valve to dose a quantity of fuel to a fuel injection nozzle. The system includes a duct which bypasses the throttle valve, the duct having a valve which closes the duct when the throttle valve is closed and when the engine is above the idling speed. Dosing of fuel is thereby stopped during coasting of a vehicle, leading to decreased fuel consumption.

The pressure difference in the metering valve (7) is maintained constant by means of a pressure sensitive valve (11) and a differential pressure control valve (20), each of which has two chambers separated by a diaphragm (12 and 21). The differential pressure control valve (20) is actuated on both sides by springs (34, 36 and 54) whose loading stress can be varied according to engine operating parameters. The loading stress of the springs is adjusted by devices for full-load fuel concentration and cold-starting fuel enrichment, and also a device responsive to air pressure changes.
