  • Patent number: 12525746
    Abstract: A plug connector for interlocking with a mating plug connector along an insertion direction. The plug connector includes: a plug connector housing configured to accommodate at least one contact element; a lever assembly swivelable between a first position and a second position; a cover; and a CPA including at least one blocking element. In the second position, the lever assembly is releasably latched to a latching structure. The CPA is situated at the cover, and is displaceable between an unblocking position and a blocking position along a displacement direction. The CPA includes a blocking element which in the blocking position of the CPA prevents a displacement of the latching structure for releasing the latch between the lever assembly and the latching structure.

  • Patent number: 5690070
    Abstract: An apparatus for governing an idling rpm of an internal combustion engine by controlling a quantity of operating fluid that can be supplied to the engine from an operating fluid source via at least two flow lines. A first valve opening cross section at a first valve opening is controlled by a first valve closing member, and a second valve opening cross section and a second valve opening is controlled by a second valve closing member. The first and second valve closing members are adjustable by an adjusting drive in such a manner that the first valve opening and the second valve opening are disposed parallel to one another between the operating medium source and the intake conduit of the engine. The valve closing members are coupled in such a way that upon their actuation, the first valve closing member always uncovers a flow cross section at the first valve opening first, and only then does the second valve closing member uncover a flow cross section at the second valve opening.
