Abstract: A device, in particular for controlling a throttle cross-section in an operating fluid carrying line of an internal combustion engine, has a housing provided with a bore and a throttle aperture, an inlet connecting piece associated with the housing, a rotary valve acting as a throttling organ and being centrally arranged so as to be rotatable in the housing and closing the throttle aperture to a greater or a lesser extent, so that a fluid to be controlled passes through the inlet connection piece directly via the throttle opening. The rotary valve has a shaft with an axis, and also has a control edge and a rear edge which is opposite to the control edge. The control edge and the rear edge both extend obliquely relative to the axis of the shaft of the rotary valve.

Abstract: A rotary idle-speed actuator for controlling a throttle cross-section in a line carrying combustion air for an internal combustion engine has an actuating motor with a stator and a rotor. The rotor is mounted on a shaft of a throttle member which more or less opens a control opening. The rotor has a cup-shaped form with a bottom and a cylinder-jacket-shaped wall. The stator has field windings and is arranged together with the field windings inside the rotor, and the stator is mounted only at its end which is opposite to the bottom of the rotor.

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 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: In a rotary actuator (1) with rotary slide valve (3) for controlling a throttle cross-section, the sealing of the pneumatic (16) and of the electrical part (17) is to be improved. For this purpose, the shaft (11) is supported twofold, both on this side and on the other side of the rotary slide valve (3). Both roller bearings (13, 14) are located in a one-piece housing (12). As a result, the tolerance-related width of the air gap between rotary slide valve (3) and control opening (6) is reduced, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, an isolating seal between the parts (16) and (17) is formed by the bearing (13). The rotary actuator (1) is particularly suitable as idle-speed rotary actuator for internal combustion engines.

Abstract: A device for controlling a throttle cross-section of at least one control orifice in a bypass line extending around a throttle valve of an air intake pipe of an internal combustion engine, for regulating an idle speed of the internal combustion engine, and comprising a throttle member, a spring element for biasing the throttle member to an initial position thereof, and a positioning motor for moving the throttle member from its initial position against a bias force of the spring element, upon failure of the spring element and when the positioning motor is actuated, to establish a safety cross-section in the bypass line, a quantity of operating medium flowing through the safety cross-section being less than a quantity of operating medium flowing through a complete cross-section of the control orifice whereby idle operation of the internal combustion engine is insured.

Abstract: An apparatus for assisting in governing the idling rpm of an internal engine including a bypass line that bypasses a throttle valve in an air intake tube. A rotary slide valve secured to one end of a shaft which is controlled by a motor is rotatable in the bypass line to adjust air flow through the bypass line. The bypass line is integral with a lid-shaped housing part in which roller bearings juxtaposed the rotary slide valve is secured. The upper end of the shaft is rotatable in bearings carried by an upper housing part. The housing parts are secured together in axial alignment with each other.

Abstract: In control motors having an armature rotatable counter to a spiral spring, a problem arises that the set force of the spiral spring can be changed by the process of installation. The disclosed control motor is intended to enable setting of the force of the spiral spring after installation. To enable setting of the force of the spiral spring after installation, relative to which an armature of a control motor is rotatable, a shaft on which the armature is supported is screwed with a screw end into a threaded bore of a housing bottom end. Connected to the shaft is an adjusting element, which with a driver arm engages an end portion provided on the outer end of the spiral spring. By rotating the ends of the shaft, which are accessible from outside, the force of the spiral spring can be changed. The invention is preferably applicable to idling adjusters, but it is not limited to this field of application.

Abstract: The control generator of an ignition distributor for a transistor-coil ignition comprises an annular coil (55), a rotor (54) and a stator, which is a riveted unit comprising a stator plate (18), a permanent magnet (17) and a pole disc (56). The rotor and the pole disc are molded elements of sintered iron or of a mixture of sintered iron powder and carbonyl iron powder having a binder of thermosetting resin. The rotor and the pole disc have cooperating pole teeth (59,51), which are directed parallel to the axis (60) and whose cross section is triangular, with the triangular tips oriented toward one another. These "pointed teeth" produce a more steeply inclined signal course, as a result of which a decreased inherent shifting of the inductive transducer, and thereby more reliable starting of the engine, are attained.

Abstract: To reduce the axial length of distributor-breaker assemblies and to provide for reliable placing of a second upright bearing for the distributor shaft, a holding plate to which a bearing is floatingly attached is clamped in the distributor housing by means of a claw clamp, tightened by a transverse plate against itself and against a shoulder formed in the inner side wall of the distributor, the claw clamp being formed as a partly circumferential ring seated in a groove of the distributor.

Abstract: To prevent corrosion and provide for better relative movement of parts which move only slightly but are exposed to extremes in ambient operating conditions, a tubular piece of plastic material, typically Polyvinylidenfluoride or a polyamide, is drawn over the inner element of a relatively slidable pair, which may, for example be a distributor shaft, the distributor breaker cam, or distributor bearing pins, to cover the surface thereof engaged in slidable contact.

Abstract: Four pole pieces embedded in the cylindrical periphery of a non-magnetic rotor disk are connected with each of a number of magnets embedded in the disk in circumferentially distributed positions spaced from the rotor shaft and from the disk periphery. Of these pole pieces, one circumferentially interleaved pair is connected with one pole of the magnet by a magnetically conducting yoke strip embedded in one circular face of the disk and the other pair is similarly connected with the other pole of the magnet. The spacing between the first and second pole piece is equal to the spacing between the third and fourth and less than that between the second and third, the latter spacing being equal to the spacing between groups of pole pieces associated with different magnets, for the case of a uniformly timed firing sequence of a multicylinder engine.

Abstract: To provide an easily manufactured ignition distributor in which two bearings support the distributor shaft, the lower bearing is molded or otherwise secured into the housing structure, whereas the upper bearing is supported on a transversely extending support member, typically a support plate which is seated within the housing, for example bearing against a shoulder, against seating lugs, or the like, so that the entire ignition distributor structure can be constructed with small compact size.

Abstract: An annular permanent magnet affixed to the bottom of the timing shift plate of an ignition distributor exerts a force attracting the timing shift plate to the fixed carrier plate on which the timing shift plate is supported by spacers. Another permanent magnet is set into the inner flange of the carrier plate in the neighborhood of the cam-following portion of the interruptor to attract the nesting inner flange of the timing shift plate, so as to prevent the play between these flanges which form the bearing for the timing shift plate from interfering with the ignition timing. The timing shift plate and carrier plate are made of iron and there is only a small gap between the outer peripheries to provide a return magnetic circuit.

Abstract: To match the wear and flattening of ignition breaker contacts to wear of the engagement element of the breaker contact arm with the breaker cam, the engagement element is made of polyimide, preferably sintered polyimide with, possibly, an additive of from 10 to 20% of a lubricating substance, for example about 15% graphite (by weight).
