Abstract: A fuel injection system for substantially continuous injection into a suction tube of a mixture-compressing, spark plug-ignited internal combustion engine includes a fuel line and a fuel pump. A measuring member and an arbitrarily actuatable throttle flap are disposed, one behind the other, in the suction tube. The measuring member is displaceable in proportion to air quantity and against a resetting force which is normally constant but which is changeable in dependence on engine parameters. A metering valve having a movable part is disposed in the fuel line and coupled to the measuring member. The measuring member actuates the movable part for metering fuel quantity in desired proportion with respect to air quantity. A regulating mechanism, which includes a piston, is actuated in dependence on fuel pressure prevailing downstream from the fuel pump. The piston acts against the force of a spring.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine contains a fuel metering mechanism including first differential pressure diaphragm valves. The pressure difference prevailing at these valves can be changed by a second, electromagnetic, differential pressure diaphragm valve. The first and second differential pressure valves share a common diaphragm and the pretension of the closing spring in the second diaphragm valve can be adjusted from outside the housing of the fuel metering mechanism.

Abstract: In spinning machines, a thread is spun from a roving emerging from a draw frame. When a thread breakage occurs, the roving continues to emerge but its path is deviated by air currents.The presence of the roving on the deviated path is detected and a thread re-attachment process is initiated.An apparatus for practicing the above method includes a light source and light detector for determining the presence of the roving in the appropriate location. An alternative embodiment of the invention provides a mechanical device, e.g. a foraminous gate, to respond to the presence of unspun roving in a suction bypass channel of the spinning machine. In both cases, an actuating signal is produced for initiating the thread re-attachment process.

At least one portion of the yoke opposite the toothed disc is also provided with teeth. At least one damper having a rpm-dependent damping characteristic is operatively associated with the drive shaft and disposed on the toothed disc.

Abstract: A non-contacting shaft horsepower measurement system in which a torque indicating signal is obtained from the phase shift between a pair of signals derived from two sensors sensing the passage of a torque responsive toothed wheel and a reference toothed wheel spaced on the shaft, this torque signal being then multiplied by a speed signal derived from a third sensor thereby developing a signal proportional to instantaneous horsepower.

Abstract: A diaphragm-controlled pressure control valve assembly is provided, especially for fuel injection systems in internal combustion engines, in which a measuring member, disposed within the suction tube, is moved by aspirated air against a resetting force. The resetting force is supplied by a pressurized fluid, delivered through a pressure line, which continually acts upon the measuring member. The pressure, which is normally constant, can be arbitrarily changed by pressure control valves. At least one of the pressure-control valves is embodied as a flat-seat valve in which the pre-load of its movable valve member can be changed in dependence on parameters. The movable valve member is constituted by a first diaphragm on whose side pointing away from a fixed valve seat there is disposed a second diaphragm in positive contact with the first diaphragm. The second diaphragm is preferably provided with a relief bore.

Abstract: A vehicle which carries electric energy-consuming equipment on board is provided with a power supply system such as an internal combustion engine adapted to supply energy both for the propulsion of the vehicle and for the operation of the equipment on board. For this purpose, the combustion engine comprises a dual fuel feed system and a valve assembly which is formed of oppositely working valves to effect a mutually exclusive operation of the two fuel feed systems. One fuel feed system ensures a high engine output for the propulsion of the vehicle, while the other fuel feed system ensures a substantially constant, reduced engine output for supplying the equipment with energy.

Abstract: A clamping fixture detachably mountable on an easel, or wall, mounted upright, support board hanging a heavy stack of large paper sheets against the front face of the support board so that the stack may be readily removed or rearranged, or the sheets torn off one-by-one. The fixture comprises a back support member, a top clamp housing member, and a blade member. The blade member and the clamp housing are pivotally connected to each other so as to move in unison when the clamp housing is pivoted about the back support member for inserting or removing a stack of papers. The blade member also acts as a clamping member and is tensioned for automatically adapting to the thickness of the sheets or pads of paper and means are provided for quickly and automatically permitting the fixture to open and then snap lock automatically in closed position, making the insertion and removal of display sheets or pads an effortless task.

The bottom of the container has an integrally formed inwardly directed cup-shaped protuberance for substantially completely expelling the contents when the container is collapsed. The spiral angle of the flutes is preferably 30.degree. and the flutes are inwardly directed and unobstructed at the top dispensing opening.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the delivery quantity on multi-cylinder fuel injection pumps including a drive unit and a clamping means for the injection pump in the form of an in-line pump. The pump pistons are provided with at least one control edge and are axially arranged and rotatably guided in cylinder barrels.

The regulator also includes an idling control spring, a maximum rpm control spring and an adapter stop having an adaptation spring, with the adapter sleeve comprising two mutually coaxially disposed portions and an intermediate spring therebetween. The pretension force of the intermediate spring is greater than the maximum force of the idling control spring and the pretension force and spring stiffness of the intermediate spring are smaller than the pretension force and spring stiffness of the adaptation spring.

Abstract: A centrifugal rpm regulator for the fuel injection pump of an internal combustion engine is equipped with a separate, independent, rpm-responsive adjustment mechanism which rotates a cam. This cam serves as the limiting stop for a lever which controls the injected fuel quantity and it determines the maximum injected fuel quantity. The cam is linked to a plunger which is actuated by rpm-dependent fluid pressure. Axial motion of the plunger results in rotation of the cam. The cam is mounted on a pin which is affixed eccentrically and adjustably within the regulator housing.

Abstract: In an exhaust gas purifying apparatus which includes first and second reactors in the exhaust line of an internal combustion engine there is provided a heater burner to which there is delivered an air-fuel mixture and which heats the first reactor for rapidly bringing it to operating temperatures when the engine is started. In the air conduit through which combustion air for the air-fuel mixture is delivered to the burner there is provided a valve controlled in such a manner that the flow rate of combustion air remains constant and is thus independent of the counterpressure at the heating burner and the output delivery of the air pump driving the combustion air. Upon reaching operating temperatures the burner is extinquished and the combustion air is rerouted past the first reactor to the second reactor.
