Abstract: A line (3) provided between the head space (11) of the fuel tank (10) and the induction tube (1) of the engine contains an absorption element (9) and can be shut off by a signal-actuated servo valve (8) connected to the outlet from the absorption element. The line (3) is provided with a first sensor (4) preceding the absorption element (9) and detecting gas flows. A vacuum actuator (12) following the servo valve (8) is provided with a second sensor (13) which gives a signal when actuated. The first sensor (4) and the second sensor (13) are connected for carrying signals to a diagnosis block (14) which compares them with the signal (17) actuating the servo valve (8) and uses them for fault diagnosis.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve assembly has a main valve seat 32 and an auxiliary valve seat 35 disposed parallel to one another between an inlet opening 30 and an outlet opening 31. The auxiliary valve seat 35 has a smaller opening cross section than valve seat 32. Dimensions and mass of the auxiliary closing element 36 appertaining to the auxiliary valve seat 35 are correspondingly smaller than those of closing element 33 of valve seat 32. It can hence be brought into its open position much faster, which permits reducing the hydraulic stress exerted on the main closing element 33 and increasing the opening speed thereof.

Abstract: A roller for the treatment of fiber masses for the textile industry has a sawtooth wire received in a rectangular cross section helical groove of a steel roll body and indented by a peening or indenting roller to provide, by plastic deformation of the foot portion, the outward forces which clamp the foot portion of the wire against the ribs flanking the groove of the roller body. As a consequence, the roller body as a whole is not deformed.

Abstract: A fuel dispenser seal to be used in an inlet of a fuel tank having an orifice of a reduced diameter. The seal comprises a sealing ring made of a polymer material which is provided with a sealing lip which can engage with the fuel dispenser.
