Abstract

Abstract An apparatus for assisting in governing the idling rpm of an internal engine including a bypass line that bypasses a throttle valve in an air intake tube. A rotary slide valve secured to one end of a shaft which is controlled by a motor is rotatable in the bypass line to adjust air flow through the bypass line. The bypass line is integral with a lid-shaped housing part in which roller bearings juxtaposed the rotary slide valve is secured. The upper end of the shaft is rotatable in bearings carried by an upper housing part. The housing parts are secured together in axial alignment with each other.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 209 words
An apparatus for assisting governing the idling rpm of an internal combustion engine, having a control motor including a rotary armature which is connected to a shaft a rotary slide valve connected to one end of said shaft, said rotary slide valve controls a cross section of a bypass line around a throttle device disposed in an air intake tube of the engine, a housing embodied by a cup-shaped housing part and a lid-shaped housing part, said lid-shaped housing part is formed as an integral part of the bypass line that includes the cross section which is to be controlled by said rotary slide valve and which is penetrated by said rotar slide valve, said control motor includes at least one winding disposed in the cup-shaped housing part which is excited to rotate said armature and therewith said rotary slide valve, a first roller bearing (18), connected to the shaft (17) juxtaposed said rotary slide valve (7) and having roller bodies covering disks (40) covering opposite ends of said roller bodies, said first roller bearing being supported in a bearing bore in the lid-shaped housing part (23), and a second roller bearing (19) supported on said shaft (17) in a housing bottom (21) of the cup-shaped housing part (22).
Claim 2
Independent Claim 209 words
An apparatus for assisting governing the idling rpm of an internal combustion engine, having a control motor including a rotary armature which is connected to a shaft a rotary slide valve connected to one end of said shaft, said rotary slide valve controls a cross section of a bypass line around a throttle device disposed in an air intake tube of the engine, a housing embodied by a cup-shaped housing part and a lid-shaped housing part, said lid-shaped housing part is formed as an integral part of the bypass line that includes the cross section which is to be controlled by said rotary slide valve and which is penetrated by said rotar slide valve, said control motor includes at least one winding disposed in the cup-shaped housing part which is excited to rotate said armature and therewith said rotary slide valve, a first roller bearing (18), connected to the shaft (17) juxtaposed said rotary slide valve (7) and having roller bodies covering disks (40) covering opposite ends of said roller bodies, said first roller bearing being supported in a bearing bore in the lid-shaped housing part (23), and a second roller bearing (19) supported on said shaft (17) in a housing bottom (21) of the cup-shaped housing part (22).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 66 words
An apparatus as defined by claim 1, in which said first roller bearing (18) is fixed in said lid-shaped housing in an axial direction by means of a shoulder on one end and a retaining disk (42) that protrudes past a end portion of said first roller bearing (18) and said retaining disk is secured by means of screws (43) to said lid-shaped housing part (23).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
An apparatus as defined by claim 1, in which said two housing parts (22, 23) are connected to one another in axial relationship.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
An apparatus as defined by claim 2, in which said two housing parts (22 23) are connected to one another in axial relationship.
