Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for controlling a control device of a driving engine mechanically, via an operating element. As well as by a control motor in the direction of reduced output of the driving engine, independently of a control position defined by the operating element. The apparatus includes a restoring spring and a repose stop located away from the control device in a final control element. The apparatus is particularly well-suited to motor vehicles equipped with traction control.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim
278 words
An apparatus having a control motor (52) for intervention into a force transmission device (2) between an operating element (4) and a control device (8) that determines an output of a driving engine (6), the operating element (4) is operatively connected to a first drive element (14) and the control device is operatively connected to a second drive element (16), a coupling spring (18) is connected on one end to the first driver element (14) and on the other end is connected to the second driver element (16) such that the driver elements are urged to execute a motion relative to one another until a first coupling stop (20) or said first driver element comes to rest on a second coupling stop (22) of said second driver element, an operative member (54) connected to said control motor (52) a transmission means (76) connected to said operative member 54 and to a third drive element (40) which upon a control motor intervention acts upon the second driver element (16) in a direction of reducing an output of the driving engine, a first restoring spring (60) connected at one end to said operating member 54 and at its opposite end to a housing part (82) said operating member (54) of the control motor (52), when intervention is not occurring, is actuated by said first restoring spring (60) counter to a direction of reduction of an output of the driving engine toward a repose stop (63), wherein the control motor (52) along with the operative member (54), the first restoring spring (60) and the repose stop (63) form a final control element (50) disposed spaced apart from the control device (8).
Claim 2
Independent Claim
