Abstract: A governor system is provided for limiting a degree of throttle travel of a throttle as a function of rotational speed of a drive axle. The governor system includes a governor shaft rotatably supported by the drive axle and operably interconnected to internal components of the drive axle for varying a feedback torque, a governor arm fixed for rotation with the governor shaft, a throttle cable interconnected with the governor arm for applying a first pulling force to the throttle and an accelerator cable resiliently interconnected with the governor arm to apply a second pulling force to the governor arm. The second pulling force induces rotation of the governor arm for applying a torque on the governor shaft. The torque balances with the feedback torque of the governor shaft for limiting the second pulling force as a function of the rotational speed of the drive axle.

Abstract: A position transducer in which an external full-load stop of a pedal and a stop inside a housing for a transducer shaft is adapted to one another in such a way as to assure that a maximum allowable adjusting torque acting upon the transducer shaft will not be exceeded. According to the invention, in the transmission chain between a pedal, the actuating member, a transmission member embodied for instance as a Bowden cable, the driver member and the transducer shaft, a prestressed elastic element is integrated, which by way of example is disposed between the Bowden cable and the driver member and is embodied by the compression spring. To attain the prestressing of the compression spring, the driver member is supported on the actuating member. The compression spring prevents an impermissible adjusting torque on the transducer shaft. The position transducer is suitable for installation in motor vehicles, where it is used to convert a pedal position into an electrical adjusting signal.

Abstract: A throttle actuator comprising: a body which forms an intake passage; a throttle valve shaft; a throttle valve which is connected to the throttle valve shaft and which adjusts the opening of the intake passage; and a motor which applies torque to the throttle valve shaft. The throttle valve is provided with: a valve shaft lever; an accelerator lever which is operated by means of the accelerator pedal; a floating lever which is positioned between the valve shaft lever and the accelerator lever and which transmits torque to the valve shaft lever in such a direction that the throttle valve opens; a valve returning spring which applies torque to the throttle valve shaft in such a direction that the throttle valve closes; a coupler spring which pulls the accelerator lever and the floating lever toward each other; and an accelerator lever returning spring which applies torque to the accelerator lever in such a direction that the throttle valve closes. A difference between the amount of operation caused by the action of the accelerator pedal and the amount of operation caused by the motor is offset by the relationships between the set positions of floating lever and the coupler spring and between the set positions of the floating lever and the valve shaft lever.

Abstract: A throttle control system for an automotive vehicle includes a motion transmitting member having a length sufficient to extend between an accelerator pedal and a throttle crank so that depression of the accelerator will cause rotation of a throttle shaft attached to the crank. The motion transmitting member includes a provision allowing it to deflect so as to permit further movement of the accelerator pedal without further rotation of the throttle shaft once the throttle shaft has been moved to the wide open throttle position.

The engine further includes a float type carburetor having a vertically extending outlet flange which is connected to the manifold inlet flange and has a major axis, the carburetor float being operable to regulate fuel flow when the major axis of the carburetor flange is generally horizontal.In one embodiment, a throttle member for controlling the flow of a fuel-air mixture from the carburetor into the crankcase is pivotally mounted inside the manifold and movement of the throttle member is controlled by an air vane governor mounted on the manifold.

Abstract: A monitor connected to an automotive engine, suitably monitoring pulses in the ignition system thereof electronically, and a flyball-type governor connected to the final drive train of an automotive engine transmission driven thereby, respectively operate switches for independently causing an engine-throttle-closing fixed-rate drive to run in throttle-closing direction to override the manual throttle control whenever the engine exceeds a predetermined engine speed or the vehicle approaches or exceeds a predetermined vehicle speed. Whenever both engine and vehicle are below their respective predetermined speeds and the vehicle speed is neither constant nor accelerating in the aforementioned approach range, the unoperated switches cause the throttle drive to run in throttle-opening direction to allow, but not to cause, full-throttle operation, which may be achieved by operating the manual throttle control to open the throttle to obtain full power. The dynamics of this system cause it to operate as a forcefully surging engine governor to protect the engine from overspeeding in the lower gears and to encourage the driver to shift out of the lower gears, while in the higher gears it operates as a road speed governor to limit the maximum road speed, and as a road speed control or "cruise control" to hold a constant road speed, within engine accelerational and braking capacities, so long as the driver keeps the accelerator pedal depressed beyond the normal positions required for attaining or maintaining the predetermined speeds.
