Abstract
Abstract A switching arrangement for regulation of a fuel-air mixture delivered to an internal combustion engine by means of an oxygen-measuring sensor in an exhaust flow of an internal combustion engine which produces an electric signal which is in turn used by a control unit of the fuel injection system including the fuel supply pump and timed valve and being influenced by supplementary air valve and warm-up control is improved by simplifying the circuit arrangement through the use of an rpm relay, that can be affected by the rpm of the internal combustion engine as the only relay to control operation of the control unit and timed valve as well as the fuel pump, supplementary air valve, the warm-up control.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
In a switching arrangement for regulation of a fuel-air mixture delivered to an internal combustion engine by means of an oxygen-measuring sensor in an exhaust flow of the internal combustion engine which produces an electric signal to a control unit of a fuel injection system as a function of the composition of the exhaust gas developed by the combustion of the fuel-air mixture, the fuel injection system including an electric fuel supply pump, and timed valve, and being influenced by a supplementary air valve and a warm-up control, the improvement comprising an rpm relay means, constructed and arranged as part of said switching arrangement so as to be responsive to the rpm of the internal combustion engine and the only relay thereof, for controlling operation of the control unit and timed valve in addition to the fuel pump, supplementary air valve, and warm-up control.
