An embodiment of an induction system for internal combustion engines that permits maximum power output while at the same time insuring good running at low speeds without loss in mid-range torque. Independent intake passages communicate with each chamber of the engine. A throttle valve arrangement is included that includes a first manually operated throttle valve positioned in a common portion of the intake passages, a second manually operated throttle valve that is positioned in the first intake passage between the first throttle valve and the chamber, and a third throttle valve positioned in the second intake passage between the first throttle valve and the chamber. A linkage system interconnects the first and second throttle valves so that the second throttle valve is opened at a predetermined degree of opening of the first throttle valve. The linkage causes the first and second throttle valves to reach their fully opened position simultaneously. The third throttle valve is automatically positioned in response to intake system vacuum.
In an induction system for a internal combustion engine comprising a chamber, a first intake passage communicating with said chamber, a second intake passage communicating with said chamber, said intake passages having a common portion upstream of their communication with said chamber, and a first manually operated throttle valve in said common portion of said intake passages, the improvement comprising a second manually operated throttle valve in said first intake passage between said first manually operated throttle valve and said chamber, linkage means for controlling the position of said second manually operated throttle valve in response to the position of said first manually operated throttle valve, a third throttle valve in said second induction passage between said first throttle valve and said chamber, and means for automatically operating said third throttle valve.
In an induction system for an internal combustion engine comprising a chamber, a first intake passage communicating at its downstream end with said chamber through a first intake port, a second intake passage communicating at its downstream end with said chamber through a second intake port independent of said first intake port, said intake passages having a common portion upstream of their communication with said chamber, and a first manually operated throttle valve in said common portion of said intake passages, the improvement comprising means for causing the primary portion of the idle and low speed charge requirements of said chamber to enter said chamber through said first intake port, including a second manually operated throttle valve positioned in said first intake passage for controlling the flow therethrough, said second manually operated throttle valve having a relief formed therein for permitting flow when said second manually operated throttle valve is in its closed position, and linkage means for interrelating said first and said second manually operated throttle valves for opening said second manually operated throttle valve in response to opening of said first manually operated throttle valve, said linkage means including a lost motion connection so that said second manually operated throttle valve is held in its closed position during a predetermined degree of opening of said first manually operated throttle valve.
An induction system for a chamber of an internal combustion engine comprising intake passage means having a first portion having an inlet at one end thereof and an outlet at the other end thereof for flow therethrough in a first direction from said inlet to said outlet, a juxtaposed substantially parallel extending second portion interconnected to said first portion by a curved section, said curved section having an inlet cooperating with said first portion outlet and an outlet cooperating with an inlet of said second portion juxtaposed to said first portion outlet for flow through said second portion in a direction opposite to said first direction, a first throttle valve positioned in said first portion, a second throttle valve positioned in said second portion and juxtaposed to said first portion, a linkage means for interconnecting said throttle valves for controlling the position of said second throttle valve in relation to the position of said first throttle valve.
