| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4132284 | Electronic cruise control A system for adjusting and maintaining cruising speed for automobiles employs electronic circuitry connected to the engine ignition system for generating a voltage proportional to engine speed. A manually actuated switch allows the vehicle operator to cho... | 01/02/1979 |
| 4118445 | Sliding throttle valve type carburetor A carburetor for an automobile engine of a sliding throttle valve type, wherein a throttle valve guide cylinder is connectively provided at one side of an air-intake barrel, in which an air-intake passage is formed and at which a main nozzle is open, and ... | 10/03/1978 |
| 4094281 | Resilient throttle stop means A variably positionable throttle employed for controlling the flow through induction passage means to related engine means employs, in various embodiments, resiliently deflectable and/or yieldable means which, upon sufficient opening movement of the throt... | 06/13/1978 |
| 4091785 | Fuel control cross shaft The invention is concerned with an improved fuel injection control system which is useful with an internal combustion engine comprising a pair of pluralities of equal numbers of cylinders with said pairs of pluralities of cylinders being aligned side by s... | 05/30/1978 |
| 4026255 | Vehicle engine signal device In an internal combustion engine of an automotive vehicle of the type having a carburetor which is operated by an accelerator pedal attached to the carburetor throttle valve by suitable linkage, a system is provided for comparing the actual intake manifol... | 05/31/1977 |
| 4019475 | Automobile acceleration control for fuel economy Resilient means yieldably opposes opening of the throttle for an automobile engine when the latter is accelerated too rapidly for acceptable fuel economy. Pressure actuated means responsive to inlet manifold pressure withdraws the resilient means from the... | 04/26/1977 |
| 4016842 | Resilient throttle stop means A variably positionable throttle employed for controlling the flow through induction passage means to related engine means employs, in various embodiments, resiliently deflectable and/or yieldable means which, upon sufficient opening movement of the throt... | 04/12/1977 |
| 4010720 | Accelerator pressure control mechanism An accelerator control linkage for the engine of a vehicle which maintains a maximum vacuum in the intake manifold of the engine. The linkage of the accelerator normally allows the throttle to open only when a predetermined vacuum is present in the manifo... | 03/08/1977 |
| 3982511 | Throttle motion control device A throttle motion control device for an automotive vehicle engine is used to warn the driver of excessive fuel consumption by providing a stiff accelerator pedal feel when manifold vacuum drops below a given predetermined value, this being effected by mea... | 09/28/1976 |
| 3982510 | Throttle motion control device A throttle motion control device for an automotive vehicle engine that is adapted to warn the driver of the vehicle to avoid operation of the engine in a manner to cause excessive fuel consumption by providing a stiff accelerator pedal feel when manifold ... | 09/28/1976 |
| 3977371 | Throttle motion indicator device A throttle motion indicator device for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle having an induction system including a movable throttle for controlling flow through an induction passage and, an operator actuated accelerator pedal linkage, including a th... | 08/31/1976 |
| 3958542 | Throttle control apparatus using pedal resistance An auxiliary apparatus or device for attachment to an internal combustion engine, so that at a certain point in the depression of the accelerator pedal, an increased resistance to further depression of the pedal is abruptly encountered. This point is cons... | 05/25/1976 |
