Abstract
Abstract Internal combustion engine having an intake port formed in cylinder head and first and second intake passages both connected with the intake port. The intake passages are respectively provided with throttle valves and the throttle valve in the second intake passage is opened only under a heavy load operation. The ignition timing is advanced or an additional supply of fuel is provided in the transient period wherein the throttle valve in the first intake passage has reached substantially fully open position and the throttle valve in the second intake passage has started to open so as to supplement any decrease in the engine output in this period.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
Internal combustion engine comprising cylinder means, piston means disposed in said cylinder means for defining therein combustion chamber means of variable volume, intake port means provided in said cylinder means and opening to said combustion chamber means, first and second intake passage means connected with said intake port means, first and second throttle valve means respectively provided in said first and second intake passage means, means for actuating said first and second throttle valve means so that the second throttle valve means starts to open after the first throttle valve means has been substantially fully opened, means for increasing engine output on demand, means for sensing that the first throttle valve means is in the vicinity of a substantially full open position and producing a transient signal, means for receiving said transient signal and actuating the engine output increasing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
Internal combustion engine comprising cylinder means, piston means disposed in said cylinder means for defining therein combustion chamber means of variable volume, intake port means provided in said cylinder means and opening to said combustion chamber means, first and second intake passage means connected with said intake port means, first and second throttle valve means respectively provided in said first and second intake passage means, means for actuating said first and second throttle valve means so that the second throttle valve means starts to open after the first throttle valve means has been substantially fully opened, means for increasing engine output on demand, means for sensing that the first throttle valve means is in the vicinity of a substantially full open position and producing a transient signal, means for receiving said transient signal and actuating the engine output increasing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
Engine in accordance with claim 1 in which said sensing means includes means for detecting a difference in pressure in the first intake passage means and that in the second intake passage means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
Engine in accordance with claim 2 in which said actuating means is a pneumatic actuator means operated in accordance with said pressure difference and directly actuating said engine output increasing means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
