Abstract:
A fuel injection system for an Otto engine having a mixture-control unit provided with an air flow sensor and a fuel distributor. The fuel injection system may be switched from service with a gasoline-operated engine to service with a gas-operated engine and, in the process, the sensor plate of the air flow sensor is opened as well as blocked in the open position with a gas-operated engine.
Abstract:
A mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with a combustion space arranged either in the piston or in the cylinder head and with an ignition source located in the cylinder head; the main volume of the combustion space is thereby delimited by circular arcs, as viewed in plan view, of which the circular arc located closest to the ignition source is arranged at least approximately concentrically about the ignition source; a part of the piston which is matched within this area of the cylinder head adjoins the ignition source so closely that at first a smaller portion of the charge is ignited in the gap which is formed between the cylinder head and this piston part shortly prior to the end of the compression stroke while the main portion of the charge is combusted, at the earliest, beginning with the upper dead-center position of the piston.
Abstract:
An ignition device for a passive retention system, especially in motor vehicles, in which an ignition unit arranged in a housing includes two plug pins which freely project on one side with their free end out of a casing and which are intended for slidingly receiving thereon a plug coupling, while the two plug pins are connected at the other end with an incandescent bridge and are surrounded by an ignition or primer mixture disposed inside of a casing; protective contact means are provided which protect the plug pins against electrostatic charges by short-circuiting the same prior to the emplacement of the plug coupling on the plug pins; the protective contact means consist of an essentially U-shaped elastic clamp which electrically conductively connects with each other the plug pins, when the plug coupling is not inserted, and which is automatically opened, when the plug coupling is inserted, in such a manner that the clamp interrupts the contact between the plug pins only when the regular ignition circuit has already been established.
Abstract:
A system for warning when the liquid level of a air bag gas source as dropped to a predetermined level, such that the gas source would not be adequate to properly inflate the bag upon actuation. The source is mounted to rotate with a steering wheel. An electrically conductive float floats in the liquid such that it always remains at the upper portion of the source. The float comes into contact with contacts in the gas source, when the liquid level drops to the predetermined level, to complete an electric circuit to a signaling device and/or a drive disabling device.
Abstract:
A partial lining disk brake, preferably with a floating saddle whose brake cushions are adapted to be supported at the inlet and/or outlet side by mutually opposite projections which are axially displaceably guided in recesses relative to the brake body by at least one nose preferably arranged in the center between the supports; the nose thereby engages with a counter support surface thereof in a notch matched thereto while the base surface of the notch is supported on the radially outer-surface of the nose.
Abstract:
A radial sealing bar for a rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction which is guided within an axially parallel groove of a piston and is forced radially outwardly by at least one leaf spring; the sealing bar is thereby provided with at least one hollow space with an opening, into which a leaf spring projects through the opening, whereby the leaf spring rests against the groove bottom in such a manner that the leaf spring is supported against the upper wall portion of the hollow space.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine, particularly an air-compressing injection internal combustion engine which includes an exhaust gas turbocharger and a by-pass line for the return of exhaust gases from the exhaust gas line to the inlet side of the engine; the by-pass line is thereby connected, on the one hand, to the exhaust gas line between the internal combustion engine and the exhaust gas turbine and, on the other, to the inlet line between the supercharger and the internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
An arm rest in a motor vehicle adapted to be pivoted between fixed abutments out of a use position into a non-use position and vice versa, in which a non-pivotally arranged elastomer member is provided which exerts a resistance to a pivot movement of the arm rest and secures the end positions of the arm rest.
Abstract:
A drive shaft for vehicles, especially for motor vehicles in which a driving engine is connected with an axle drive by way of a shaft assembly equipped with universal joints and possibly supported also by intermediate bearing supports; an axial deformation member is incorporated into this shaft assembly at least at one place which, nevertheless, transmits at the same time the torque; preferably, however, one deformation member each is coordinated to the driving engine and to the axle drive which may be arranged symmetrically to one another.
Abstract:
A control valve for accumulator installations, which includes a spring-loaded first valve effective between the high pressure space and the working space whose valve closure body is operatively connected with the valve seat of a second valve, that is disposed between working space and discharge and whose valve clsoure body, in turn, is acted upon by the control magnitude; a central control slide valve member is thereby disposed in the operative connection which has a longitudinal bore extending between the working space and the second valve and which is longitudinally displaceable in a sleeve which forms or receives the valve seat of the first valve; plate-shaped abutments are thereby arranged on both sides of the sleeve while several parallel bores distributed uniformly over the circumference are provided in the sleeve concentrically about the control slide valve member which are all in communication with the high pressure space and which receive at the one end pointing toward the working space, balls serve as valve closure body which are supported against one abutment; roller bodies forming compensating pistons are sealingly inserted into the parallel bores from the other side thereof which are supported at the other abutment.
