Abstract: Throttle butterfly, especially a throttle butterfly in an intake channel of an internal-combustion engine which has a throttle butterfly shaft extending concentrically to a central axis. The throttle butterfly as well as the housing surrounding it have sealing surfaces facing one another.

Abstract: A throttle device is described, in particular a throttle valve in a suction pipe of an internal-combustion engine. This throttle device consists of a housing, a throttle valve control, a position sensor and a throttle valve fastened to a throttle valve shaft. The throttle device is arranged between the clean-air-side air filter connection and the suction pipe of the internal-combustion engine. The air filter connection and/or the suction pipe consist of a plastic material, and the individual elements of the throttle device are constructed as modules which can be fitted, screwed or clamped together.

Abstract: A linkage connection for connecting a wax thermostat and membrane actuator drive assembly to a flapper-type flow proportioning valve in the air intake system of a carburetor-equipped internal combustion engine, the connection comprising a connecting cylinder formation in the flapper wall with a transverse slot and a groove in an extension of the thermostat housing with two positioning flanks which cooperate with the connecting cylinder.

Abstract: A feeder device having a supply magazine for record carriers and an associated separating device. The magazine is pivoted to bring a top sheet into contact with a feed roller, and the pivot motion is used to control the separating device so that more reliable separation is obtained.
