Abstract: A flow control valve comprises a fixed iron core, an electromagnetic coil, a casing made of a magnetic substance in which the electromagnetic coil is received, a movable iron core, a return spring for urging the movable iron core in the opposite direction to an attractive force, a flow control valve main body provided with a fluid inlet passage and a fluid outlet passage, a valve provided at the movable iron core, and a valve seat with which the valve is in contact in a non-electric conductive state, wherein at least one of the fluid inlet and outlet passages of the fluid control valve main body is formed to restrict the maximum flow rate of the flow control valve.

Abstract: A fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine which is composed of: an injector by which fuel is supplied from a direction other than a direction to a drive axis: a fuel body which accommodates the injector and which makes a fuel supply passage; a cap which presses and fixes the injector to the fuel body; and an elastic body which is interposed between the injector and the cap; wherein the injector has multi-hole type injection holes, and the elastic body positions the injector in relation to the cap.

Abstract: A proportional flow control valve in which a valve seat is provided in the proportional flow control valve body, a valve piece is slidably mounted on a movable iron core, and is urged toward the valve seat by an elastic member disposed between the valve piece and the movable iron core, and a holder is fixedly mounted on the movable iron core so as to limit the movement of the valve piece toward the valve seat caused by the elastic member. The proportional flow control valve is high in reliability in which the leakage of fluid is substantially zeroed even when fully closed, and the difficulties are eliminated that, when its flow rate adjusting means engages with or disengages from the valve seat, hammering sounds are produced and the flow characteristic is adversely affected, and which is simple in adjustment and is maintained correct in flow characteristic at all times.

Abstract: A control valve device for controlling flow rate, comprises: valve holder (31) linearly moved forward and backward by a driving unit (2), said valve holder serving as a converting mechanism for converting a rotary motion of driving means into a linear motion; valve piece (32) being supported by the front end of the valve holder while movable back and forth direction, and fitted into a valve seat (1b) when the valve holder advances toward the valve seat; and a spring (37) interposed between the valve piece and the valve holder for urging valve piece toward the valve seat.

Abstract: A cooling water temperature controlling apparatus for an internal combustion engine comprises a butterfly valve placed in a cooling water passage for the internal combustion engine at a position between the inlet port of a radiator and the inlet port of a radiator bypass pipe, and a stepper motor connected to the butterfly valve through a reduction gear having a worm gear wheel so as to adjust a degree of opening of the butterfly valve depending on the temperature of cooling water.

Abstract: An auxiliary air control valve for engines wherein the valve has an intermediate peripheral portion enlarged to present a small gap to the valve seat port, and the front side of the intermediate peripheral portion and the rear side thereof formed to have slant surfaces so as to be diametrically and gradually reduced so that when the cooling water is at a low temperature, the front slant surface is positioned at the valve seat port, when the cooling water is at an intermediate temperature, the intermediate peripheral portion is positioned at the valve seat port, and when the cooling water is at a high temperature, the rear slant surface is positioned at the valve seat port, thereby being capable of controlling the quantity of intake air through the bypass passage.

Abstract: Grooves 6 having a length larger than the diameter of shaft 2 are formed in both surfaces of throttle valve 3 between mounting screws 4 and the inner circumferential wall of throttle body 1, perpendicular to the shaft axis, to capture any excess adhesive applied to the screws and migrating outwardly therefrom.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the opening of the throttle valve of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus comprises a throttle body constituting a portion of a suction passage, a valve shaft held to the throttle body, a throttle valve for controlling the flow of air inside the suction passage, and a sensor fixed to the throttle body. The sensor has a driving shaft one end of which is disposed outside the case of the sensor. A U-shaped engaging member having two legs is fixed to this one end of the driving shaft. A disklike engaging member having two grooves is fixed to one end of the valve shaft. The two legs are fitted in the two grooves.

Abstract: A flow control valve includes a hollow cylinder 32 having an open end and a fluid flow port 31 formed in its circumferential wall, a solenoid coil disposed around the cylinder, and a valve member 41 slidable within the cylinder in response to an amount of power supplied to the solenoid coil for adjusting an opening area of the fluid flow port to control the flow rate of the fluid flowing through the fluid flow port and the open end of the cylinder. A protective inner-diameter portion 32a formed in the open end of the cylinder is provided in association with a fluid flow path including the fluid flow port and the open end of the cylinder for preventing any foreign matters entrained in a fluid from being caught in the clearance defined between the hollow cylinder and the valve member by providing an annular clearance between the cylinder and the valve member.

Abstract: A cup-shaped spring holder having a flange on the outer periphery on the open end side is secured on the end portion of a valve shaft which protrudes outwardly from a carburetor barrel, with a clearance for coil insertion provided between the barrel and the open-end side. An outer torsion coil spring is fitted in the aforementioned spring holder to restrain an axial shift of the spring. And one end of an inner torsion coil spring fitted on the aforementioned shaft end portion is led out through the aforementioned clearance and retained by a spring retainer on the aforesaid barrel. Because of the above-described constitution, this invention features simple construction, easy manufacture, increased mechanical strength, a less number of components parts required, easy assembly, and improved valve shaft strength.
