  • Patent number: 6364284
    Abstract: A throttle valve controller for an internal combustion engine in which a ring gear comprises a center body, a teeth portion, at least one rotation detent portion and at least one contraction detent portion for preventing the ring gear from rotation along the peripheral direction of the ring gear, wherein the rotation detent portion and the contraction detent portion are arranged with equal spacing along the peripheral direction of the ring gear. As a result, accuracy of the circularity of the ring gear is improved.

  • Patent number: 6003792
    Abstract: A cylinder injection type fuel injection valve 1 has a valve body 10 of a hollow cylindrical shape, a valve seat 12 having a fuel injection nozzle 11 at its center, which is disposed at an end of the valve body 10, a hollow housing 2 having an end connected to the valve body, which is capable of coming to contact with and separating from the valve seat 12 so as to open and close the injection nozzle 11, a core 3 disposed in the housing 2 and a coil assembly 4 disposed around the core 3 and inside the housing to cause opening and closing operations of the valve body 10, wherein an O-ring 14 is fitted to a space defined by the housing 2 and the core 3, in which the coil assembly 4 is disposed, at a side to which a fuel pressure is applied, so that the pressure is not applied to the coil assembly, or wherein a sealing ring having a hollow cylindrical shape 17 is fitted to a space defined by the housing 2 and the core 3, in which the coil assembly 4 is disposed, at a side to which a fuel pressure is applied, and

  • Patent number: 5887798
    Abstract: A cylinder injection type fuel injection valve has a metallic ring 15 of a substantially T-like shape which is disposed inside a solenoid 2 and which has inner and outer sides supported by O-rings 16, 17 in order to seal highly pressurized fuel, whereby a change in a flow rate of fuel, which may be resulted by attaching the fuel injection valve to an internal combustion engine, can be minimized without changing largely a sealing structure for fuel, and deformation of the metallic ring is minimized.
