  • Patent number: 4311168
    Abstract: A differential pressure valve is proposed for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine. The differential pressure valve includes a diaphragm embodied as the movable valve element, which separates two chambers from one another. A fuel supply line discharges into one chamber and a valve seat carrier provided with a valve opening protrudes into this chamber. This chamber also houses a filter element and a valve spring is disposed coaxially with the valve seat carrier between upper and lower spring plates. The filter element is disposed such that a subsequent change in the tension of the valve spring is also possible. To this end, the filter element can engage the upper spring plate on one side in a sealing manner and on the other side can be supported in a sealing manner in a groove of the wall of the chamber (FIG. 1). In order to assure the free mobility of the filter element, it is provided with an elastically deformable area. As shown in FIG.

  • Patent number: 4306530
    Abstract: A fuel injection system which serves to supply fuel to a mixture-compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engine which includes an air flow rate member for actuating a metering and distribution valve, a flushing valve is disposed in an outlet line leading from each injection valve to a return flow line open when the engine is turned off and immediately after actuation of the ignition switch of the engine, enables a return flow via the outlet lines of the fuel flowing through the fuel supply line and the metering and distribution valve assembly to the injection valves until an electromagnetic valve drivable by a time control element opens a pressure line to a pressure chamber of the flushing valve, and the pressure prevailing in the pressure chamber opens a diaphragm connected to the movable valve parts of the flushing valve in such a manner that the flushing valve closes.

  • Patent number: 4293204
    Abstract: The control mechanism for a photographic camera using film carrtridges having coded marks indicative of the sensitivity of the employed film includes a hand-operated control member for setting at least one exposure parameter, an axially movable objective for setting the distance, an adjustable diaphragm, a scanner movable against the marks on the cartridge for displacing the control member in response to the coded marks, a stationary cam surface engaging the objective, transmission gears coupled between the control member and the objective to axially displace the latter according to a distance setting and according to the shape of the stationary cam and curves provided on the control member to display at least the applicable exposure range and the flash distance limits for the employed film sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 4237079
    Abstract: A fuel supply device is proposed which serves to supply fuel to a mixture-compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engine with a good distribution of the fuel-air mixture. The fuel supply device includes a fuel metering device activated by an air metering device arranged in the air intake manifold of the internal combustion engine with the fuel metering device being connected to an air line in which the metered fuel is mixed with air before the injection into the air intake manifold. Between the air line and the fuel line, upstream from the fuel metering position, a filter having a fine-meshed weave is arranged by means of which the fuel is prevented from flowing out over the air line in an undesirable manner.

  • Patent number: 4175102
    Abstract: A fuel supply device, which serves to predetermine a fuel quantity that is proportional to the aspirated air quantity, and also serves to spread the air-fuel mixture. The fuel supply device includes an air metering device, which is arranged in the air intake manifold of the internal combustion engine and activates a fuel metering device, which has a control slit that opens a control groove by a varying amount. The control slit and the control groove are rotatable relative to each other, and the control groove has at least one control edge, which overlaps the control slit and is formed at an angle relative to the axis of rotation. The control slit is arranged in a guide sleeve and the control groove is arranged in a rotatable sleeve mounted in the guide sleeve with the rotatable sleeve being arbitrarily shifted relative to the guide sleeve.
