Patent number: 5058625Abstract: A valve for the intermittent introduction of fuel, in particular gaseous fuel, into an intake tube of an internal combustion engine, which is provided with an electrically actuatable valve member disposed in a valve housing. The valve comprises a slide valve having a substantially cosine-like metering motion, and a metering conduit that opens only after a predetermined portion of the metering motion beyond a position of repose of the valve member is provided. As a result, the control edges are overtaken very fast, and a steep rise or drop in the insufflated fuel quantity takes place. A good approximation to the ideal course, which is equivalent to the course of the aspirated air quantity, is therefore achieved.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1990Date of Patent: October 22, 1991Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Klaus Kaiser, Hans Kubach

Patent number: 4795098Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve that serves in particular in inject fuel into the intake tube of internal combustion engines operating with fuel injection systems. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing core with a surrounding magnetic coil and a guide diaphgram secured across the valve housing, the guide diaphragm urges an armature/valve closing element, embodied in one piece in the form of a spherical section, toward a valve seat. The guide diaphragm loosely engages a flat bearing face of the armature, so that the valve closing element can automatically center itself with respect to the valve seat. Upon a reciprocating movement of the armature/valve closing element, the frictional force between the guide diaphragm and the bearing face prevents a radial movement of the armature/valve closing element.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1987Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Marcel Kirchner, Hans Kubach, Asta Hascher-Reichl
