Claim 8

The arrangement of claim 5, wherein said valve is a disk valve.

Claim 9

The arrangement of claim 5, wherein: said closure part, acting as a stop for said push rod, engages said valve seat of said closure member in normal operation in an open position of said closure member.

Claim 10

The arrangement of claim 4, wherein: said return spring biases said push rod in a closing direction of said closure member and has a greater spring force than said spring means.

Claim 11

The arrangement of claim 4, wherein: said push rod includes a first and a second stop; and wherein said closure member is operatively arranged for displacement between said first and said second stops.

Claim 12

The arrangement of claim 4, wherein said spring means is mounted on said push rod and further biases said valve in a closing direction, and said return spring further biases said push rod in an opening direction of said valve.

Claim 13

The arrangement according to claim 10, wherein said solenoid when actuated moves said push rod against the biasing of said return spring.

Claim 14

The arrangement of claim 11, wherein said connection is formed axially in said closure member and opens into an outlet-side mouth of said connection in said closure member, the latter forming a seat for said valve adjacent said mouth; and said push rod passes through said connection, said push rod having an outlet-side free end; said valve further including a closure part connected to the outlet-side free end of said push rod.

Claim 15

In a valve arrangement for regulating the idling speed of an internal combustion engine by controlling the quantity of air on an intake side of an intake manifold leading to the internal combustion engine, said valve arrangement including a return spring, a moveable closure member, and an electromechanical control member having a solenoid arranged for moving said closure member against the force of the return spring via a control element, the improvement comprising: a connection of predetermined cross section connecting the intake side of the manifold to an inlet side of the closure member; a valve operatively arranged with respect to said connection, said valve being openable in a closed position of said closure member; a throttle valve in said intake manifold dividing said intake side of said intake manifold from an inlet side of said intake manifold; a bypass communicating said intake side of said intake manifold with the inlet side of said intake manifold via said connection of said closure member, respectively, the latter being movably mounted in said bypass for opening and closing said bypass via said solenoid and said control element; and wherein said connection is formed in said closure member communicating said inlet side of the closure member with an outlet side of said closure member; said inlet side of the closure member communicates with said inlet side of said intake manifold and said outlet side of said closure member communicates with said intake side of said intake manifold; and said closed position of said closure member closes said bypass, while said valve opens said connection thereby communicating said intake said of said intake manifold with the inlet side of said intake manifold via said connection and thereby via said bypass.

Claim 16

In a valve arrangement for regulating the idling speed of an internal combustion engine by controlling the quantity of air on an intake side of an intake manifold leading to the internal combustion engine, said valve arrangement including a return spring, a moveable closure member, and an electromechanical control member having a solenoid arranged for moving said closure member against the force of the return spring via a control element, the improvement comprising: a connection of predetermined cross section connecting the intake side of the manifold to an inlet side of the closure member; a valve operatively arranged with respect to said connection, said valve being openable in a closed position of said closure member; a throttle valve in said intake manifold dividing said intake side of said intake manifold from an inlet side of said intake manifold; a bypass communicating said intake side of said intake manifold with the inlet side of said intake manifold via said connection of said closure member, respectively, the latter being movably mounted in said bypass for opening and closing said bypass via said solenoid and said control element; and wherein said connection is formed in said closure member communicating said inlet side of the closure member with an outlet side of said closure member; said inlet side of the closure member communicates with said inlet side of said intake manifold and said outlet side of said closure member communicates with said intake side of said intake manifold; and said closed position of said closure member closes said bypass, while said valve opens said connection thereby communicating said intake said of said intake manifold with the inlet side of said intake manifold via said connection and thereby via said bypass.
