  • Patent number: 4543939
    Abstract: A fuel supply assembly for a gasoline internal combustion engine in which the amount of fuel supplied is controlled by an electromagnetic injection valve which in turn is controlled by an electronic controller subjected to operating parameters. The assembly comprises a fuel metering device and a vane pump in which is supplied a branch stream of air tapped from an inlet duct upstream of the throttle valve. The fuel is introduced into the pump chamber downstream of the air and both the fuel and air are supplied to the pump chamber substantially tangentially to be mixed for the first time in the pump chamber.

  • Patent number: 4154202
    Abstract: A fuel quantity distributor in which a continuously operating suction pipe injection device is provided with differential pressure valves corresponding to the number of cylinders arranged about the metering unit. The valves maintain the pressure difference of the fuel constant by the metering unit. The valves have, furthermore, a diaphragm which contacts on one side, the delivered fuel. The other side of the diaphragm is exposed to a control pressure. Each of the differential pressure valves is equipped with one of these diaphragms in the form of a metal diaphragm in the plane of the vave seat. A centering ring with a crushing edge for a seal ring, is located in the distributor housing. The metal diaphragm is fixed relative to the valve seat by this centering ring through the use of a cup spring. The diaphragm, moreover, is located in a carrier within the distributor housing.

  • Patent number: 4152375
    Abstract: A fuel supply arrangement with a fuel metering valve for external-ignition combustion engines, in which continuous fuel addition is provided to the intake pipe. The latter has an air funnel acting jointly with a throttle member coaxially located and axially movable. The throttle member is adjustable against a restoring force via intake pipe underpressure acting in a working chamber which can be vented into atmosphere. The throttle member is actuated by a diaphragm located in a diaphragm housing having one chamber connected to the atmosphere, and having a second chamber at intake pipe underpressure. The second chamber can be vented to atmosphere by a valve having an actuation position which is arbitrarily variable through relative spatial arrangement of a tripping element on the throttle, and the valve. Either the tripping element or the valve is connected rigidly to the axially movable throttle member and the other one of these two elements is connected to an arbitrarily adjustable linkage of the gas pedal.
