Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0390961A1] A positioning device for a throttle valve has an engine control lever (10) adjusting a throttle valve (3) for the idling adjustment, which lever is connected via a displacement-dependently controlled movement-reversing device (15) to an actuating mechanism (13) of a servomotor (12). This design means that when power is applied to the servomotor (12) the control lever (10) at first swivels slightly in one direction and then in the other direction until the full load position of the throttle valve (3) is reached. <IMAGE>
