Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, with an outward-opening valve member which, at one end projects out of a guide bore in a valve body. The valve has a valve head which acts as a closing member and on which is arranged a sealing face that cooperates with a valve seat on the valve body and which forms a sealing edge. For a variable injection cross section, a sleeve is attached onto the valve member on the region of the valve member located near the valve-member head, in which sleeve are provided a plurality of rows of injection orifices which can be opened in succession with an increasing opening stroke of the valve member. In order to allow a reliable and sealing guidance of the valve member, an inflow duct to the injection orifices is designed as a recess in the valve-member shank, in such a way that a web region guiding and sealing off the valve member in the sleeve remains.

Abstract: An improved screw washer, and an improved mold for fabricating the improved screw washer. Using a selected metal plate having a thickness thinner than a nominal height demanded for a nut, the invention primarily aims to form an improved screw washer incorporating a nut satisfying the demanded height. The invention is to provide an improved screw washer, and an improved mold for fabricating the screw washer. Particularly, using this improved mold, the improved screw washer can easily be manufactured, where the above-identified nut is solidly bonded with the metal plate without being disengageable therefrom, and yet, a sufficiently lengthy tapped hole is formed. Structurally, a nut is formed in the state of being continuous to a metal plate after punching out part of the metal plate.

Abstract: The potentiometer has a housing in which a carrier plate which supports a resistance strip is disposed. A rotary pin is supported on the housing and has a sliding contact connected to the rotary pin for engaging the resistance strip. The carrier plate is rotatably connected to the housing and is embodied for the engagement of a turning tool. It assumes its position with regard to the housing because of a frictional connection. The resistance strip can be oriented with regard to the housing or the sliding contact by rotating the carrier plate relative to the housing and the rotary pin.

Abstract: This invention relates to a piston pump in a brake system having a piston, which is drivable in a reciprocating motion in a cylinder by an eccentric tang. To avert damage to a ring seal, a support ring is provided which keeps the ring seal spaced apart from a guide sheath for the piston in the cylinder by a distance that is at least as long as a stroke length of the piston. This prevents running scratches on the piston from coming into contact with the ring seal.

The conical valve sealing faced cooperates with a conical valve seat face on the closed end of the bore of the valve body toward the combustion chamber. Between the cone angles of the valve sealing face and the valve seat face, a seat angle difference is provided, by which an encompassing seat edge is formed between the valve member and the valve body, and having at least one injection port in the region of the valve seat phase adjoins the seat edge downstream thereof.

Abstract: A bingo game machine which can carry out a series of operations including storing discrimination balls which are to be blown by an air blower into a closed vessel. The balls are blown about within the vessel with some balls falling onto a return surface to the storage area and some falling into a storage member. The balls falling into the storage member are detected and are the balls used to determine the winning balls for the bingo game. Once the balls have been received and detected, the game is over and the balls in the storage member are dropped into the storage area for the next game. A motor drives a screw rod in order to open a bottom of the storage member in order to release the balls that have fallen into the storage member. The motor moves the bottom back into place to close the bottom for the next game.

Abstract: A method for operating a fuel injection system and a fuel injection system for performing the method, in which the fuel is supplied in measurable amounts at high pressure to a high-pressure fuel reservoir, whose pressure is controlled by a pressure control valve and from which fuel is drawn for injection via electrically controlled injection valves. The system is monitored for leakage losses in that the fuel quantity supplied to the high-pressure fuel reservoir by a fuel pump and the quantity removed from the high-pressure fuel reservoir via the injection valves and the pressure control valve are compared with one another, and if these quantities deviate from one another a signal device is tripped, or an intervention into the operation of the fuel injection system is made.

Abstract: The invention sets forth a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve body and an expansion sleeve that cooperates with the valve body. A pressure chamber is defined between the expansion sleeve and the valve body into which a high-pressure conduit discharges which can be made to communicate with an injection cross section into the combustion chamber of the engine via an opening cross section, openable at high pressure, between the expansion sleeve and the valve body. The cup-shaped expansion sleeve is slipped onto the circumferential jacket face of the valve body and braced axially against the valve body; a portion of the expansion sleeve is embodied as a fastening element on the valve body.

Abstract: A valve assembly with a housing, a master valve and an auxiliary valve and an armature for the auxiliary valve and an electromagnet is proposed. In previous valve assemblies, in which the auxiliary valve, openable via the armature, serves to open the master valve, a master valve closing element is coupled via an idle stroke arrangement to the armature of the auxiliary valve closing element. If the armature traverses a first partial stroke, then the auxiliary valve is opened; if the armature traverses a further partial stroke, then via the idle stroke arrangement it can lift the master valve closing element from a master valve seat, if hydraulic forces are slight enough. Instead of the idle stroke arrangement, the master valve closing element is given its own armature, which is rigidly joined to the master valve closing element and acts in the opening direction. The valve assembly of the invention can advantageously be used in hydraulic vehicle brake systems that are set up for automatic braking.

Abstract: This invention achieves a complete dissipation of a residual pressure in a brake cylinder. The air brake system has a pressure control valve arranged between a brake valve and the brake cylinder. This pressure control valve has an outlet valve which controls the connection between an outlet chamber to which the brake cylinder is connected, and a venting space and has a control chamber. A connection between the control chamber and the venting space can be controlled by way of a control valve. There is furthermore a connecting conduit between the outlet chamber and the control chamber of the outlet valve. In the case of a braking operation, the control valve is switched briefly into its open position after the actuation of the brake valve ceases, allowing the residual pressure in the brake cylinder to be dissipated to the venting space via the connecting conduit. The method can be employed in commercial-vehicle air brake systems.

Abstract: A common feature of known pump devices, which for diagnostic purposes build up an overpressure in a fuel vapor trapping system, is that a connection of an adsorption filter with the ambient air is closed for the duration of the diagnosis. In the event of a malfunction of the shutoff valve, for instance from seizing, a buildup of negative pressure that is dangerous to the fuel tank can occur, which can be avoided by guard valves provided on the fuel tank according to the following pump device, whose valves needed for generating the overpressure are embodied such that in an open position of a regeneration valve and in a closing position of a shutoff valve, by means of an adequate flow cross section A.sub.Schutz of the valves such a slight flow resistance is effected that an attainment of a negative pressure harmful to the fuel tank is precluded. The pump device according to the invention is intended for a fuel vapor trapping system of an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A magnetic valve that furnishes a large flow cross section and switches at high differential pressures. The magnetic valve has an armature, which when current is supplied to a coil is movable toward a pole core counter to the force of a first restoring spring. Guided on the armature is a valve closing member, movable longitudinally relative to the armature, of a seat valve. Also supported in the armature is a second restoring spring, which exerts a force acting in the direction of the pole core upon the valve closing member. The magnetic valve is especially suitable for slip-controlled hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles.
