Abstract: A multiway connector comprising a support part and a cover part including plugs. The plugs with the first electrically conducting contact elements and electrical conductors are arranged on the support part. The two-part construction of the multiway connector permits a problem-free mounting of the electrical conductors in the vicinity of a support part front face, for example, in guide grooves of the support part. The construction of the multiway connector is particularly suitable for the joint electrical contacting of electrically operable fuel injection valves.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing and securing a screw in a preset position to prevent unauthorized adjustment. The screw securing means according to the invention makes it possible to secure a screw connection in a simple manner, in that a screw head of thermoplastic plastic, which is at least partly located in a housing recess, is heated to such an extent that it changes to the liquid state, flows into the housing recess, and at least partially fills the housing recess. By form-fitting engagement with the threaded pin and the housing recess, security against twisting, and also against being rotated without authorization, is attained. Screws in components that vibrate severely, and adjusting screws that must not be adjusted by unauthorized third parties, can be secured with this screw securing means.

Abstract: A system which reduces an electric load on an on-board electrical system of a vehicle. The brake system has an anti-lock and traction control system. The latter has a high-pressure pump, with which pressure fluid can be withdrawn from a supply container and fed into a brake line. A charging valve that can be switched out of its shutoff position into its open position by a control unit is disposed in an intake line of the high-pressure pump. The control unit switches the charging valve into its open position at least whenever feeding of pressure fluid into the brake line is demanded. The brake system is especially well-suited to passenger cars, which have a very severely fluctuating rear axle load status.

Abstract: An electromagnetically operable valve having a core on which a magnet coil is arranged, an armature which acts on a valve closing body by means of a connecting pipe, in which the components to be welded together include a reduced diameter portion in which welding of the parts is by a laser in the reduced diameter portions.

Abstract: A control change system for a backhoe in a construction vehicle, comprising a plurality of pilot valves for generating a pilot pressure corresponding to operations of a first and a second control levers, respectively, and a hydraulic switching unit for relaying the pilot pressure from the pilot valves and supplying the pilot pressure to a plurality of control valves. This switching unit includes a plurality of slidable spools for supplying the pilot pressure from the pilot valves selectively to the control valves. The control system further includes a first and a second switching members for selectively sliding the plurality of slidable spools. The first switching member is operable to select the swing cylinder or the hydraulic motor to be controlled by a shift in one direction of the first control lever. The second switching member is operable to switch interlocks between the first and second control levers and a boom cylinder and an arm cylinder.

Abstract: A rotational control device for the setting of angles in actuators, in particular of a restricting device used for determining the flow cross-section in a flow line for internal combustion engines, has an electrical setting motor with a two-pole status and a two-pole permanent magnet rotor. To obtain a robust setting motor, which is technically easy to manufacture in a compact construction, the stator poles are designed as claw poles and the stator winding is located as a toroidal coil in a ring space formed by the claw poles and a ring casing which is coaxial with these, for the magnetic return path. The stator winding is energized by a d.c. supply, with reversible current direction. The magnetic resistances in the magnetic return path and across the claw poles are calibrated such that in the event of a currentless stator winding, the permanent magnet rotor engages in the pole gaps between the claw poles.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, having a pump piston that reciprocates in a cylinder liner inserted into a pump housing. The pump piston and housing encloses a pump work chamber, and the pump piston has a control recess on its jacket face that communicates with the pump work chamber through a conduit. An oblique groove extends at a predetermined angle from the axis of the pump piston in the jacket face thereof and forms control edges. An annular slide is axially displaceable on the pump piston and includes two diametrically opposed diversion bores. To interrupt the high-pressure pumping to provide a pre-injection quantity and a main-injection quantity, first, second and third pockets are additionally machined into the jacket face of the pump piston. These pockets cooperated with pockets machined in the annular slide and with the control edge formed by the lower face edge of the annular slide to control the fuel flow.

Abstract: A tandem axle suspension for use in a vehicle such as a truck or semi-trailer, which is particularly efficient and stable and well adapted for use when the axles support steering wheels, has, on each side, front and rear leaf-spring assemblies that are aligned with respect to each other and positioned forwardly and rearwardly of an equalizer beam. The front leaf-spring assembly has a front end pivotably connected by a pin to the vehicle frame and a rear end connected by a shackle to the front end of the equalizer beam. The rear leaf-spring assembly has a front end pivotably connected by a pin to the rear end of the equalizer beam and a rear end connected by a shackle to the frame of the vehicle.

Abstract: A fuel distributor for supplying fuel to a plurality of fuel injection valves of the top feed type, in which the inlet and the return necks are disposed on one end of the fuel distributor, so that mounting of the fuel distributor is simplified and the space required is reduced. A connection cap having a return neck is disposed on the distributor housing, and a central pressure regulator is disposed on its face end on a second end. The pressure regulator and the return neck of the connection cap communicate with one another through a central return line extending within the distributor housing. The fuel distributor is especially suitable for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines externally supplied with ignition, for supplying fuel to a plurality of fuel injection valves.

Abstract: A brake system having a master brake cylinder that communicates via brake lines with wheel brake cylinders, a check valve and shutoff valves for the wheel brake cylinders, for anti-skid control, are each incorporated in the master brake lines. A line branches off from the master brake line downstream of the control valve and is adjoined by a return pump, which communicates with the master brake line downstream of the control valve via a return line.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a shock absorber in which the structure of both the main valve and the pilot control valve is simplified, and makes their operation less vulnerable to malfunction because the number of parts moved relative to one another is reduced. This is achieved by functionally uniting the valve plate and pressure plate in an especially embodied novel valve plate, in the form of an annular shim with a fingerlike toothed contour of the inside circumference, which pierces a corresponding contour of an axial region of a stroke limiter, as a result of which a guidance of the valve plate quite close to the force introduction points by means of a spring or the openings to be closed takes place, thereby preventing unilateral opening of a valve plate. The relief piston is sealed off from the pilot control chamber by means of one gap seal and one sealing ring, so that the production tolerances can be greater and as a result an original-shape method without remachining is possible in manufacture.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines has a hollow nozzle body with a fuel valve chamber and with a nozzle opening for the emergence of the fuel. A valve seat, which interacts with a valve member, is formed in the interior of the nozzle body. To achieve high-grade atomization or charging of the fuel emerging from the nozzle opening, two electrodes connected to a high voltage are provided, of which at least one is composed of a material suitable for field emission of electrical charge carriers. One electrode is arranged on a valve member and the other electrode on the nozzle body, in such a way that an electric field which passes through the flow of fuel is formed directly upstream or downstream of the valve seat.

Abstract: A pressure holding valve for pressure-fluid-actuated leveling systems in vehicles, having at least one seat valve with a valve opening, a valve seat and a valve member in which the valve member is opened by a control piston acted upon by pressure fluid. In order to achieve an absolutely pressure-tight seat valve with a long service life, an elastomer seal which seals off from the valve member is disposed on the valve seat, and pressure equalizing means are provided such that upon an impingement of pressure on the control piston in an opening direction of the seat valve, pressure build up upstream of the valve member is such that only a slight pressure difference arises at the seal at the onset of opening. In addition, the valve member is embodied such that upon displacement in a closing direction of the seat valve, the valve member substantially closes the valve opening in advance of the valve member becoming seated upon the seal.

Abstract: In known equipment for injecting a fuel/gas mixture, having a fuel injection valve protruding into a stepped longitudinal bore of a gas distributor part, the formation of as homogeneous as possible a fuel/gas mixture and the fine atomization of the fuel are not assured if the gas envelops the injected fuel approximately in the flow direction of the fuel. The novel apparatus has a swirl element in the longitudinal opening of the gas distributor part, the swirl element having a mixing opening extending concentrically with the longitudinal valve axis; at least one curved, groovelike flow conduit, formed in the wall of the swirl element, discharges into this mixing opening. As a result, particularly fine atomization of the fuel and the formation of the most homogeneous possible fuel/gas mixture are assured. The embodiment of the apparatus is especially suitable for use in mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A control device for the control of an opening cross-sectional area of a flow duct, in particular for internal combustion engines, comprising three sub-assemblies, an actuator housing with flow channel and setting window, a rotor with a rotary valve for controlling the window opening, and a drive housing with stator and stator winding. For setting a required air gap between the rotary valve and the setting window, a control section of the rotary valve covering the setting window is designed as a cone envelope segment, and is inclined at an acute angle to the rotor axis. The window lying in a cone envelope plane is located at the same angle of inclination. By means of a spacing disk between the rotor, with the rotary valve affixed thereon, and the actuator housing, the air gap is set and fixed as required.

Abstract: The object is to shorten the installation length of the pump. The high-pressure pump has a pump housing with a bore, in which a pump element having a cylinder, a piston longitudinally movable therein and an outlet valve is received. The cylinder is screwed into the bore and axially fixed at a bore step. The outlet valve has a ball, received in a hollow-cylindrical extension of the cylinder and loaded on its end remote from the valve seat by a leaf spring secured to the cylinder. The hydraulic high-pressure pump is usable in particular in motor vehicle brake systems having an anti-lock and possibly traction control system.

Abstract: An injection valve, having an annular groove on opposite ends on the circumference of the valve body. A retaining ring embodied from a bowed length of wire is retained in each of these grooves. A retaining ring having a spring tension can be mounted simply and economically on the circumference of the valve body and can be secured by snapping into place. The valve may be used as an injection valve for fuel injection systems.

Abstract: An injection valve, which overcomes residual magnetic forces and cohesive forces that act between the armature and the core to make the armature stick to the core, impeding the closing motion of the valve needle. The injection valve has a spring adjusting sleeve and a stroke adjusting sleeve for the separate adjustment of the spring force of a restoring spring and of the stroke of the valve needle: these sleeves are disposed in a through bore of a valve end cap. The stroke of the valve needle is limited by a downstream end face of the stroke adjusting sleeve, which when the injection valve is fully open rests on an upstream face end of a fastening segment of the valve needle. A remanent air gap is left between the armature and the core. The novel injection valve is especially suitable for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.
