Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A throttle valve control apparatus in an internal combustion engine having an idle-speed increasing means for causing a throttle valve in an intake passage of an engine to open beyond a predetermined idling position thereof according to increase in an engine load, and a valve closing means for permitting the throttle valve to close beyond the predetermined idling position at the time of closing operation of the throttle valve, for deceleration or the like, characterized in that there is provided a restraining means for restraining the operation of the idle-speed increasing means during the operation of the valve closing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A throttle valve control apparatus in an internal combustion engine having an idle-speed increasing means for causing a throttle valve in an intake passage of an engine to open beyond a predetermined idling position thereof according to increase in an engine load, and a valve closing means for permitting the throttle valve to close beyond the predetermined idling position at the time of closing operation of the throttle valve, for deceleration or the like, characterized in that there is provided a restraining means for restraining the operation of the idle-speed increasing means during the operation of the valve closing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
156 words
A throttle valve control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the valve closing means comprises an idling stopper attached to a swing arm mounted swingably on a rotary shaft of the throttle valve, a negative pressure actuator connected to the arm, a control valve for applying the intake negative pressure in the intake passage to the actuator, and a control circuit for the control valve; the idle-up means comprises an arm member attached to a swing arm mounted swingably on the rotary shaft, a negative pressure actuator connected to the arm member, at least one control valve for applying the intake negative pressure to the negative pressure actuator, and a control circuit for the control valve; and the restraining means comprises an AND circuit provided in the control circuit of the idle-speed increasing means and inverter means provided on the input side of the AND circuit and connected to the control circuit of the valve closing means.
