Abstract: A fuel regulating device which is fastened with a connecting fitting to a fuel housing. When the pressure regulating valve is installed on the fuel housing, the connecting fitting fits in a connecting piece provided on the fuel housing. The pressure regulating valve includes a valve housing and a connecting fitting which can be pivoted in relation to the valve housing. Because of the pivot bearing between the connecting fitting and the valve housing, considerable dimensional tolerances can be compensated for, which essentially reduces manufacture costs. The pressure regulating device is particularly suited for fuel delivery systems of vehicles with an internal combustion engine.

Thus, the prescription lens frame is held securely onto the safety glass frame between the safety glass frame and the persons eyes. Damage to the safety glass lens or frame necessitate replacement of only the non-prescription safety glasses because the prescription frame can be removed from the damaged frame and secured to a new safety glass frame.

Abstract: A fuel injection device with a pump plunger which is driven in reciprocation and a working space which is enclosed by the pump plunger, and is connected to an injection valve connected directly to the pump housing. To control the fuel injection quantity and the injection instant, a solenoid valve is provided which is arranged in a fuel passage that is connected to the pump working space and serves for the filling and/or relief of the pump working space. To reduce the volumes subjected to the high pressure, the fuel passage is arranged in such a way that the fuel passage intersects the cylinder bore which accommodates the pump working space, and the solenoid valve is arranged at the entry of this passage.

Abstract: To reduce NO.sub.x components in the exhaust gas from a compression-ignition internal combustion engine with the aid of a reducing catalytic converter, a metering device for the supply of reducing agent to be additionally introduced into the exhaust gas, in the form of fuel, is provided to improve the performance of the catalytic converter. For this purpose, use is made of a positive displacement pump designed to meter very small quantities with a helix in the form of a helical groove arranged on a cylindrical body of revolution, the delivery rate being varied by driving the body of revolution at a variable rotational speed.

Abstract: The invention sets forth an arrangement for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases from a compression-ignition internal combustion engine, in which, to improve the operation of a reducing catalytic converter, a reducing agent is injected into the exhaust gas fed to the catalytic converter. Injection is performed by virtue of an electrically controlled metering valve which is combined in a common housing with a control valve. This control valve serves for the controlled introduction of compressed air supplied, in which a quantity of reducing agent made ready by the metering valve is prepared and introduced intermittently into the exhaust gas. This serves, in particular, to avoid urea deposition and clogging in the metering valve and the control valve and for the optimum preparation of the reducing agent introduced.

A cut portion for drive opposite to a slot of an enlarged portion is formed at an inner circumferential wall of a tubular fitting portion of the outside lever handle, and that left and right cover portions in a projection form of an outer tube of the cylinder lock are respectively fitted over the cut portion for drive and the slot through left and right cut portions of the outside rotary shaft.

Abstract: This invention achieves a setting of a reduced flow area which is active after a closed position of the valve. The solenoid valve has a seat valve with a closing element which is surrounded with a clearance by a hollow cylindrical shoulder. Formed in a valve body provided with the valve seat of the seat valve is an annular channel into which the shoulder engages with a slight radial gap in the closed position of the valve. On the outlet side of the seat valve, the pressure fluid channel leads to the two end faces of a magnet armature which actuates the seat valve. Given a pressure gradient between the pressure fluid inlet and the pressure fluid outlet, after a closed position of the solenoid valve the seat valve is capable of assuming a partly open position, since valve opening forces are compensated by pressure disequilibrium at the magnet armature. The valve can be used in slip-controlled hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles.

Abstract: A fuel feed assembly with a feed pump of the roller-cell pump type, of which the pump rotor rotates eccentrically in a pumping chamber has a plurality of rollers which are guided in radial grooves of the disk-shaped pump rotor and are distributed uniformly over the circumference. When the pump rotor is rotating, the rollers run, as a result of the centrifugal force, on a bore wall of an intermediate ring radially delimiting the pumping chamber. The bore wall forms a running track. At the same time, the rollers delimit individual sickle-shaped pump rotor and the bore wall and the volume decreases from a suction port towards a delivery port as a result of the eccentricity of the pump rotor. At the same time, there is provided between the delivery port and suction port in the direction of rotation of the pump rotor a narrow-gap region which, according to the invention, is made so large that the pump working spaces passing through this region are closed completely.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cylindrical filter element, which has a longitudinal slot in order to be able to expand the filter element elastically for the purpose of fitting in a circumferential groove. To prevent any fluid from being able to pass unfiltered through the longitudinal slot, the invention proposes to configure end faces, which delimit the longitudinal slot, such that they run in the secant direction or in the peripheral direction. This has the advantage that the end faces overlap and therefore the longitudinal slot is closed when the filter element is installed.

Abstract: Fuel feed pump for a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, with a pair of intermeshing gearwheels, the said pair being driven in rotation in a pumping chamber (3), which gearwheels feed fuel out of a suction space (13), connected to a supply tank, along a feed duct (17), formed between the end faces of the gearwheels and the circumferential wall of the pumping chamber (3), into a pressure space (15) connected to the fuel injection pump, and with a bypass duct (25) which connects the suction space (13) to the pressure space (15) and in which a pressure valve (31) controlling the maximum fuel pressure in the pressure space (15) is arranged. At the same time, according to the invention, the bypass duct (25) is integrated into the housing (1) of the fuel feed pump in such a way that the pressure valve (31) can be inserted into the housing (1) of the feed pump completely via the inlet orifice (19) of the suction space (13).

Abstract: A distributor-type fuel injection pump of the radial-plunger type with two intersecting cylinder bores in the rotor part, in each of which two pump plungers arranged opposite one another and delimiting a common pump working space are guided. The pump plungers guided in the first cylinder bore are here designed with an axial length such that, during their delivery stroke, they project into the second cylinder bore, the pump plungers of which do not reach the first cylinder bore even in the case of the maximum delivery stroke. According to the invention, the short pump plungers have a stop formed by a collar on their end projecting out of the cylinder bore, and this stop prevents the short pump plungers from slipping unintentionally in between the long pump plungers when the pump is switched off, thus allowing the delivery stroke of the pump plungers to be increased to an extent such that, during their suction stroke, the long pump plungers leave the cylinder bore guiding the short pump plungers.

Abstract: In the venting apparatus (1) according to the invention, a first, small-volume adsorption filter (4) is accommodated in the front area of a motor vehicle, in the region of the internal combustion engine and a second, large-volume adsorption filter (5) is accommodated in the region of a fuel tank (2). The fuel vapors evolved in the fuel tank (2) are introduced into the second adsorption filter (5) via a tank conduit (10) and into the first adsorption filter (4) via a connecting conduit (11) and, after flowing through the latter, into an intake pipe (20) of the internal combustion engine. The large-volume embodiment of the second adsorption filter (5) ensures that the fuel vapors evolved are reliably retained, and heating of the first adsorption filter (4) ensures that abrupt changes in the fuel/air mixture fed to the internal combustion engine are avoided.

The lateral tension device includes clamp means for clamping an edge of a side of the tape in a cross-web direction which tape is extended in the down-web direction by means of the vertical tension device, another clamp means for clamping another edge of the tape, and drive means for opening and closing both of the clamp means in the cross-web direction.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a closing member of an inlet valve of a pressure-medium-traversed piston of a reciprocating piston pump. The closing member is disposed as fully as possible in the piston to minimize the dead air space. The piston has a longitudinal bore in which a stem engages the closing member, which stem emanates from a valve disk. The stem is embraced by an at least approximately frustoconical helical compression spring acting as a closing spring. This is held, with an end segment of smaller diameter, non-twistably against the stem. A shoulder of the longitudinal bore is located on the valve seat side and exhibits at least one cross-sectional alteration for the screw-like action upon the end segment of larger diameter of the closing spring. The closing spring is thus able to be sunk into the longitudinal bore and biased in place. The reciprocating piston pump can be used, for example, for slip-regulated braking systems of motor vehicles.

At least one valve arrangement is installed between the emergency brake pressure source and the wheel brakes and, in emergency brake operation, this valve arrangement connects the emergency brake pressure source to the wheel brakes and, in power-assisted brake operation, separates the emergency brake pressure source from the wheel brakes.

Abstract: In a fuel injection pump of the distributor type, a solenoid valve is provided in the distributor and the valve member of this solenoid valve is supported in an axial bore of the distributor and actuated by a magnet fixed to the housing in order to block the connection between a pump working space of the distributor-type injection pump and a relief space during an intended high-pressure injection phase. Inherent in its construction, a distributor of such a fuel injection pump has a certain axial play in its mounting and this has an effect on the actuating travel of the valve member in the distributor in relation to the fixed electromagnet.
