Abstract
Abstract A method and an apparatus for overrunning control in an internal combustion engine are proposed, which operate with an overrunning cutoff and the reestablishment rpm of which is dependent on rpm and on time. At the onset of overrunning, a higher reestablishment rpm is selected, and once the rpm falls below a predetermined rpm value the reestablishment rpm is reduced according to a time function to a lower threshold value. The method may be realized by a controlled system, as well as by a control apparatus operating with analog circuitry.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for controlling the fuel metering system of an internal combustion engine during overrunning in accordance with the actual rpm and a reestablishment rpm threshold for the reestablishment of fuel metering, comprising the steps of, reducing the reestablishment rmp threshold below a predetermined actual rpm (n abr) according to a time function (n we(t)) from a high initial threshold value (n we 0 ) to a low final value (n we 1 ), and interrupting the metering of fuel to the engine at rpm values above the reestablishment rpm.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for controlling the fuel metering system of an internal combustion engine during overrunning in accordance with the actual rpm and a reestablishment rpm threshold for the reestablishment of fuel metering, comprising the steps of, reducing the reestablishment rmp threshold below a predetermined actual rpm (n abr) according to a time function (n we(t)) from a high initial threshold value (n we 0 ) to a low final value (n we 1 ), and interrupting the metering of fuel to the engine at rpm values above the reestablishment rpm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A method as defined by claim 1, further comprising, suppressing at least until the attainment of a predetermined higher rpm value (n we 2 ) a renewed cutoff when the rpm exceeds the lower reestablishment rpm threshold value (n we 1 ) following a phase of fuel metering.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as defined by claim 1, wherein the individual threshold values and threshold value functions for the reestablishment rpm are dependent at least on temperature.
