A fuel heating apparatus for an internal combustion engine has a tubular extension member extending downwardly from the bottom end of an intake pipe into a mixture distribution chamber defined in an intake manifold beneath the inlet opening thereof connected to the intake pipe. An annular electric heater element is disposed in the mixture distribution chamber in vertical alignment with the tubular extension member so that the part of fuel which flows in liquid phase on the inner peripheral surfaces of the intake pipe and the tubular extension member falls therefrom onto the annular electric heater and heated and vaporized thereby and can be easily mixed with air from the intake pipe.

An intake manifold for a multicylinder internal combustion engine having fuel supplying means such as a fuel injection device or a carburetor includes a branch intake conduits each communicating with one of the cylinders of the engine, an extension tube connected to a primary suction conduit of the carburetor, and an incoming fuel charge heating device mounted on the bottom of the intake manifold. The extension tube has a curved portion in its wall directed toward a part of the surface of the bottom of the intake manifold at which the axial center lines of the branch intake conduits gather together and cut to form an open end of the extension tube. The incoming fuel charge heating device has a heating surface disposed near the open end of the extension tube, which is smoothly curved toward the bottom of the intake manifold. The open end of the extension tube is disposed on a plane forming an acute angle with the wall of the tube at the outermost edge of the open end and contiguous at the innermost edge thereof with a straight portion of the wall of the tube, as viewed in cross section. The incoming fuel charge heating device may include positive-temperature-coefficient thermistors.

A rotary piston engine comprises a housing having a trochoidal peripheral wall and side walls on both sides thereof, a rotor adapted to perform a planetary rotary motion along the inner surface of the peripheral wall, and intake and exhaust ports formed in the housing. The engine performs intake, compression, combustion and exhaust strokes of a working fluid in accordance with the planetary rotary motion of the rotor. An air injection port is formed in the peripheral wall of the housing between the exhaust port and a portion of the minor axis of the trochoidal curve, being adapted to communicate with the intake chamber formed between the peripheral wall and the rotor. Through the injection port, air and fuel are supplied into the housing to prevent recirculation of exhaust gas into the intake chamber of the engine, to stratify an air-fuel mixture of a richness appropriate for spark ignition and an air alone so as to facilitate the combustion of a lean air-fuel mixture as a whole, and to reduce harmful exhaust gases, particularly, hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) by the engine operation with the relatively lean air-fuel mixture.

A supplying unit supplies energy to an actuator so that the supplied energy is kept therein, making displacement the actuator. An interrupting unit interrupts the supply of energy to cause the actuator to discharge the kept energy, making displacement the actuator. A converting unit is adapted to convert the displacement of the actuator corresponding to the kept energy into hydraulic pressure applied to the valve member, moving the valve member to open the low pressure port and close the high pressure port. The convert unit converts the displacement of the actuator corresponding to the discharged energy into hydraulic pressure applied to the valve member, moving the valve member to open the high pressure port and close the low pressure port. Energy which the actuator requires to move the valve member so as to close the high pressure port is larger than energy which the actuator requires to move the valve member so as to open the low pressure port.

A fuel injector is provided which is designed to suppress unwanted vibrations of a nozzle needle-actuating piston, thereby avoiding the injection of an excess quantity of fuel. The fuel injector comprises an actuator and a displacement amplifying chamber filled with fluid to which a large-diameter piston and a small-diameter piston working as the nozzle needle-actuating piston are exposed. The displacement amplifying chamber works to amplify and transmit displacement of the large-diameter piston by the actuator to the small-diameter piston. The fuel injector also includes a stopper which restricts movement of the small-diameter piston toward the displacement amplifying chamber to a given range, thereby suppressing the unwanted vibrations of the small-diameter piston.

A valve actuating device is provided which may be employed in fuel injectors for automotive internal combustion engines. The valve actuating device includes an actuator, a large-diameter piston displaced by said actuator, a small-diameter piston operating a valve, a displacement amplifying chamber filled with working fluid to amplify and transmit displacement of the large-diameter piston to the small-diameter piston, and a drain passage. The drain passage communicates with the displacement amplifying chamber through a pinhole for draining the working fluid within the displacement amplifying chamber, thereby enabling the pressure in the displacement amplifying chamber to be released in order to ensure the movement of the small-diameter piston when the valve actuating device is started.

A fuel injection apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided which is designed to control a fuel discharge from a fuel injection pump by regulating the quantity of fuel sucked into the fuel injection pump. The fuel injection pump is driven in synchronism with rotation of the engine to pressurize and supply the fuel to an accumulator chamber from which the fuel is injected into cylinders of the engine. The solenoid valve moves a valve member linearly to open and close a fluid path leading to the fuel injection pump. The controller actuates the solenoid valve in one of a first control mode when the engine speed is low and a second control mode when the engine speed is high. In the first control mode, a valve on-duration in which the solenoid valve is turned on to open the fluid path through the valve member and an area of the fluid path opened by the valve member are both controlled. In the second control mode, only the opened area of the fluid path is controlled. This achieves fine adjustment of quantity of fuel discharged from the fuel injection pump over a wide range of engine speeds.

A lubricating apparatus is disclosed for use in an engine having a crankshaft, at least one bearing for the crankshaft, and an oil pan for storing a lubricating oil reserve. The apparatus comprises a pump for pumping the oil up from the oil pan, an oil passage for providing fluid communication between a discharge port of the pump and the bearing to supply the oil to the bearing, and an oil recirculation passage for providing communication between the bearing and an inlet port of the pump to return the oil at the bearing to the pump. The apparatus further includes a temperature activated valve assembly along the recirculation passage. The valve assembly allows the oil to return from the bearing to the pump through the oil recirculation passage, when the temperature of the engine is below a predetermined temperature.
