Abstract: A servo-assisted butterfly valve for an internal combustion engine comprising a valve seat, a butterfly body engaging the valve seat, a shaft on which the butterfly body is keyed, an electric actuator coupled to the shaft, an elastic member which is adapted to exert a torque on the shaft which tends to rotate the butterfly body towards a limp-home position and an abutment body which comprises an eccentric member which forms an abutment surface for an abutment member of the elastic body in order to stop, in the desired limp-home position, the rotation of the butterfly body caused by the elastic body in the absence of action by the electric actuator.

Abstract: A valve substantially comprising a first tubular body having a wall of substantially constant thickness in which is formed at least a pair of openings; a second annular body incorporating an electromagnet and presenting a pair of radial projections, and a block forming a seat for an electric connecting element connected to the electromagnet, the projections being designed to fit inside the openings in the first body; and a third body defining an axial sleeve designed to fit inside the electromagnet for forming a core, and an annular collar projecting radially from the sleeve and designed to fit inside the wall of the first body.

Abstract: A device comprising a body in which is formed a chamber in which fuel is mixed with air; a cylindrical mixture delivery duct the opening of which is controlled by a throttle valve; and a body cover to which is fitted a fuel injector for supplying atomized fuel into the mixing chamber; the aforementioned mixing chamber comprising at least a first and second portion defined by differently tapered surfaces, and a third portion defined by a cylindrical surface equal in diameter to the aforementioned cylindrical mixture delivery duct; the axial length of the cylinderical surface of the third portion of the mixing chamber, measured between the axis of the throttle valve and the top edge of the third portion itself, being at least equal to the radius of the circular contour of the aforementioned throttle valve.

Abstract: A system for controlling the idling speed of an electronic-injection internal combustion engine; which engine presents an air supply valve, the minimum setting of which is controlled by at least one heat-sensitive element; and which system comprises electronic means for detecting at least the speed of the engine, the temperature of the engine cooling water, and release of the accelerator pedal, for accordingly regulating the amount of heat supplied to the aforementioned heat-sensitive element.

Abstract: A device for the external connection of electrical cables electrically connected to component elements disposed within a container body comprising ordered housing means through which pass these cables which extend out of the container body.

Abstract: A housing system for a central electronic processing unit of a heat engine, including a first part connected with heat-developing component elements of the processing unit, this first part contacting over at least a substantial part of its surface, an outer surface of a portion of a fuel mixture induction manifold of the engine.

Abstract: The device comprises an electromagnetically operated fuel atomisation and metering valve housed in a seat in a body of the device, and a pressure regulator for regulating the pressure of the fuel in a region upstream of the valve; this regulator includes a deformable diaphragm connected to a shutter member operable to control a fuel passage opening between the said upstream region and a discharge; the body of the device includes a support plate for the deformable diaphragm, which is made integrally with the body itself, and the diaphragm is fixed to this latter by means of a bell-shape element defining a chamber closed by the diaphragm and in hydraulic communication with a region downstream of the valve.
