  • Air intake slide throttle for an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 5803045
    Abstract: A throttle for an internal combustion engine wherein intake runners (18) include slots (24) through which a slide throttle plate (26) is mounted. The throttle plate includes openings (28) selectively aligned with the runners (18) by an actuator (32) to control the air flow into the engine intake ports (14). Actuation back and forth across the runners (18) can provide for flow control as well as port deactivation, while a throttle plate (226) configured for up and down motion relative to the intake runners (218) can provide for tumble port flow control.
