Appl. No.:

7/481076

Inventors:

Paul D. Daly - Troy MI
Robert A. McArthur - Drayton Plains MI

Assignee:

Siemens Automotive L.P. - Auburn MI

International Classification:

F16K 1226
F02M 700

US Classification:

123337

Abstract:

The throttle blade is made to have a resilient outer margin whose outside diameter is circular and essentially equal to the diameter of the throttle bore within which the blade is disposed. The blade can maintain control even at engine idle. Several embodiments of throttle blade are disclosed. In one, an elastomeric seal is insert-molded onto the main blade body; in another, the seal is a multitude of short bristles; in still another, it is a stamped polytetrafluoroethylene part. There is also a special construction for assembling the shaft.

International Classification:

B05B 130
F02M 6118

US Classification:

239462

Abstract:

A pico fuel injector valve (10) adapted to be received in an injector socket provided in an air intake manifold (12) of an internal combustion engine having an integral fuel rail (14). The fuel injector valve has a magnetically permeable cylindrical housing (26) having radial inlet ports (24) and an armature guide bore (32). A valve seat member (40) having an outlet port and a valve seat (48) is attached to the end of the cylindrical housing (26) having the guide bore. An orifice plate (56) having a calibrated orifice is disposed in an orifice plate recess (50) provided in the face of the valve seat member (40). A stator (76) disposed in the cylindrical housing has an axially disposed pole member (78) and a radial flange (80) attached to the other end of the cylindrical housing. A solenoid coil is wound directly around the pole member (78). An armature (34) is reciprocally disposed in the guide bore (32) and has a valve element provided on the face adjacent to the valve seat, a single annular seal (90) disposed intermediate the inlet ports (24) and the soleoid coil (86) is the only internal seal of the pico fuel injector valve.

Robert A. McArthur - Waterford MI

Assignee:

Siemens Automotive L.P. - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

B05B 130

US Classification:

2395852

Abstract:

A rolling ball type mechanism is incorporated into a top-feed fuel injector so that the fuel injector has an outward appearance similar to that of known top-feed fuel injectors. The seat member is provided with a slot that makes the flow gradient more uniform over the flow area through the seat member.

Assignee:

Siemens Automotive L.P. - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

F02M 5502
F02B 7518

US Classification:

123456

Abstract:

A multiple-runner intake manifold is constructed of upper and lower parts that fit together at a joint. The upper manifold is molded thermoplastic, and the lower part is molded phenolic. The lower part contains an integral fuel rail. The lower part contains a portion of each runner. Those portions are formed as separate through-passages during molding of the lower part in the cavity of a multi-part mold. The fuel passages are molded as through-holes some ends of which are subsequently plugged by closures and other ends of which receive fittings.
