Abstract
An automobile speed control system for use with an automobile includes a throttle valve, actuator means operatively connected to the throttle valve for actuating the throttle valve, a plurality of switch means, detector means for detecting a speed of the automobile, a plurality of automobile speed memories, and electronic control means for storing values dependent on output signals issued from the detector means into the automobile speed memories, respectively, in response to operation of the switch means, for reading the values, one at a time, from the automobile speed memories in response to operation of the switch means, and for energizing the actuator means according to the read values.
Claims21
An automobile speed control system for use with an automobile, comprising:
- (a) a throttle valve;
- (b) actuator means operatively connected to said throttle valve for actuating said throttle valve;
- (c) a plurality of switch means;
- (d) detector means for detecting a speed of the automobile;
- (e) a plurality of automobile speed memories;
- and
- (f) electronic control means for storing values dependent on output signals issued from said detector means into said automobile speed memories, respectively, in response to operation of said switch means, for reading the values, one at a time, from said automobile speed memories in response to operaiton of said switch means, and for energizing said actuator means according to the read values.
An automobile speed control system according to claim 8, wherein said vacuum actuator includes a vacuum release valve for releasing said vacuum-responsive member and a vacuum release solenoid for controlling said vacuum release valve under the control of said electronic control means.
An automobile speed control system according to claim 9, wherein said electronic control means is programmed for energizing said vacuum release solenoid when the automobile is braked.
