Patent number: 6634337Abstract: Axis lines of first and second fuel injection valves are offset from first and second cylinder center lines of first and second combustion chambers by way of moving the first and second fuel injection valves along cam shafts by constituting limits by bringing fuel injection ranges of the first and second fuel injection valves to inner walls of opening portions. Even when the positions of the intake manifolds are obliged to move along the cam shafts, fuel injected from the fuel injection valves can be made to be difficult to adhere to the inner walls of the opening portions and vaporization of fuel can be expedited. Therefore, a mixture in the combustion chambers can be made uniform and engine performance such as response performance of engine rotation, fuel consumption, exhaust gas properties, occurrence of knocking or the like when the throttle valve is opened, can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2001Date of Patent: October 21, 2003Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Akagi, Hiroatsu Inui

Patent number: 6415765Abstract: A bypass passage includes an inlet in communication with the upstream sides of first and second throttle valves of first and second suction passages. One valve body receiving chamber is coaxial with the inlet. First and second upstream side branch passages extend from the valve body receiving chamber. Downstream side branch passages extend from the end portions of the upstream side branch passages and are in communication with the downstream sides of the first and second throttle valves of the first and second suction passages. One bypass valve is movably received in the valve body receiving chamber and can open the first and second upstream side branch passages to be at the same opening. Reducing the number of bypass valves to one can reduce the manufacturing costs and the number of man hours for assembly of the throttle unit and can equalize the rate of air flowing through the respective bypass passages.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2001Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Akagi, Takashi Udono

Patent number: 6003502Abstract: To provide a mechanism for coordinating the operation of throttle valves in a carburetor system in which a plurality of carburetors are connected in series and are then arranged in parallel with one another so as to position shafts thereof in parallel with one another. The throttle valves are rotated on said shafts to open or close passages of the carburetors. In the throttle valve operation coordinating mechanism, each of the carburetors connected in series shares one shaft which is received in bearings positioned at opposite ends thereof. A link extends between the shafts of the carburetors arranged in parallel and coordinates the operation of the shafts.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1998Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Akagi, Suminari Iwao
