Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines comprising a pump work chamber defined in a bore of a housing by a pump piston. The pump work chamber is supplied with fuel and relieved via a fuel line containing a magnet control valve. Moreover, the pump work chamber communicates with an injection valve via a supply line. Controlling of the injection is done via the opening or closing of the magnet control valve during the pumping stroke of the pump piston; to that end, the magnet valve is triggered by a control unit.

Abstract: A device for governing the idling rpm of an internal combustion engine which prevents a leakage. A closing element is axially and radially displaceable by a second spring and maintained to be angularly movable on the valve element and/or the regulator housing. Frustoconical surfaces are advantageously embodied on the closing element, the regulator housing and the valve element, so that the closing element can be centered on the conical seats. The springs are disposed parallel to each other, and the closing element is acted upon by a spring force in the closing direction and the valve element is acted upon by a spring force in the opening direction. The device is particularly suited for governing the idling rpm of a mixture-compressing, spark-ignition internal combustion engine by means of controlling the quantity of aspirated air flowing in a flow line to the engine.

Abstract: An overpressure valve for a packaging container, which prevents air from the atmosphere from getting into the package and, in the case of gas-emitting material being packaged, reduces a resultant overpressure by venting gas. The overpressure includes a valve membrane stuck to a wall of the container on top of through holes. The membrane is secured to the wall with peripheral adhesive strips, leaving an adhesive-free zone above the through holes; the adhesive-free zone forms a valve member, and the congruent part of the wall forms a valve seat. The adhesive strips have a wedge shape, so that the transitional regions of the adhesive-free zone toward the adhesive strips, rest on the wall, and the raised peripheral regions form spacers for adjacent packages to permit operation of the overpressure valve while stacked one on the other.

Abstract: A conveniently assembled positive connection of a magnetically operated valve with a housing block which will withstand high stresses. The housing block has a stepped locating bore which, as the bore depth increases, leads into an undercut. A valve body section has a smaller diameter than the bore in the housing and has a shape which is adapted to the locating bore which leaves a gap between the bore and the valve body section. A sleeve is pressed into the gap which fills the gap, and which engages in the region of the undercut. The sleeve which is subjected to a deforming action, fixes the magnetically operated valve and can withstand high stresses.

Abstract: A known fuel injection valve that can be secured to a fuel distributor by rotating the fuel injection valve about a longitudinal valve axis. A first electrical contact element extends out of the valve housing, parallel to the longitudinal valve axis. Such fuel injection valves can be electrically contacted by a bank of contacts that can be mounted on the fuel distributor in a direction of the longitudinal valve axis. The novel fuel injection valve includes first electrical contact elements which extend radially outward. By rotating the fuel injection valve about its longitudinal valve axis, an electrically conductive connection can be made between first electrical contact elements and second electrical contact elements that electrically contact the connection in the fuel injection valve. In this way, a simple, very compact, safe and secure electrical contacting of the fuel injection valves is attained.

Abstract: This invention improves the capability of bleeding a chamber, disposed in the course of a line, that receives pressure fluid. On the pressure side of a high-pressure pump that pumps pressure fluid through a line, a chamber of circular-cylindrical cross section is disposed in its course. Two line segments of the line discharge into the upper face end of the chamber. A guide body disposed coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the chamber is received in the chamber in the region of this face end. The guide body embodied substantially in the form of a circular disk, defines an annular gap toward the inside circumference of the chamber and a subchamber of the chamber toward the face end of the chamber. The guide body directs air located in the chamber into the subchamber, from which it is carried away by the flow of pressure fluid. The hydraulic brake system is especially suitable for motor vehicles.

Abstract: In a method for semiactive chassis control, in particular for damping resilient wheel suspension systems in vehicles, having a piston displaceable in a cylinder and subdividing it into two work chambers, the cylinder and piston are each connected to a vehicle body or a wheel axle. At least one valve that controls the flow of pressure fluid into and out of the work chambers is associated with the work chambers. Control of the valve is effected as a function of an absolute vertical speed of the vehicle body and of a zero crossover of the relative speed of the relative motion between the axle or wheel in the vehicle body and/or of a zero crossover of the damper force and/or of a zero crossover of the differential pressure at the damper piston.

Abstract: An apparatus for injecting a fuel-air mixture, including a cup-shaped gas delivery hood with a bottom part of a jacket part between the valve end of a fuel injection valve and a gas delivery element, the jacket part has at least one gas delivery opening through which gas is injected and which strikes the injected fuel. The size of the opening cross section, which meters the gas, of the at least one gas delivery opening is accordingly fixed from the very outset and need not be adjusted. Moreover, because of a directional flow of the delivery of gas, very good atomization of the fuel is attained. The embodiment of the apparatus is especially well-suited for use in mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A disk brake has an electromagnetic friction clutch that is brought into controllable frictional engagement with a brake disk. The friction clutch is in form-fitting rotational engagement with a piston of a clamping device for the friction linings associated with the brake disk, the piston is axially displaceable by a key driver that is independent of the direction of rotation. To press the friction linings against the brake disk, energy is provided by the rotating vehicle wheel by the friction clutch and metered to the clamping device. The friction brake can be used in passenger cars, for example.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having a pump piston driven to reciprocate by a cam drive, guided axially in a cylinder bore of a cylinder bush in which with one face end the pump piston defines a pump work chamber.

Abstract: A method for treating valves having a sealing seat embodied on a movable valve element and a valve seat face embodied on a valve seat body in such a way as to improve the surface quality of the sealing faces. The movable valve element is set into a rotational motion, with pressure applied thereto toward the valve seat body held in a fixed position. During the rotational motion of the valve element a vibrational motion of ultrasonic range high frequency, acting parallel to the axis of rotation, is superimposed upon the rotary motion. Simultaneously a fine-grained lapping medium is applied to the valve seat face. The method is suitable for all valves having movable valve elements, the sealing seats of which cooperate with valve seat faces.

Abstract: Fuel injection valves have swirl-generating configurations in order to atomize the fuel as it passes through a narrow flow opening. The fuel injection valve of the invention includes a conduit segment leading to a cylindrical injection conduit. The conduit segment includes a conical widening section and, in the region of a wall of the conical widening section, a highly unstable separation zone is created as fuel passes through it. This zone builds up and collapses again periodically with relatively high frequency so that turbulence created along the wall of the ensuing injection conduit causes the stream surface to break down early as the fuel leaves an injection port; as a result, the stream has fine fuel droplets and nevertheless has a defined stream pattern so that properly aimed injection is made possible. The invention is intended in particular for fuel injection systems for internal combustion engines.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a magnet valve having a magnet coil and a magnet armature, which are coaxially surrounded by a secondary coil that measures the inductions arriving in the magnet coil. According to the invention, those inductions that arise in the magnet coil not only from a current flowing there but also by the motion of the magnet armature in the magnet coil are measured while the current is turned off. As a result, the instant at which the magnet armature begins its return stroke is detected exactly.
