Apparatus for governing the idling rpm of an internal combustion engine

An apparatus for governing an idling rpm of an internal combustion engine by controlling a quantity of operating fluid that is delivered to at least two flow lines of the engine, a first flow cross section of a first flow line is controllable by means of a first valve closing member, and a second flow cross section of a second flow line is controllable by means of a second valve closing member, and the first flow line communicates with a fuel metering device of the engine, and the second flow line communicates with an intake conduit of the engine downstream of a throttle device disposed in the intake conduit, the apparatus having an electromechanical actuator, disposed in a drive housing, and an adjusting member coupled to the actuator, by means of said adjusting member the first and second valve closing members are adjustable from a closing position to an opening position, the first valve closing member (42) and the second valve closing member (52) are axially displaceable relative to one another, and the first and second valve closing members (42, 52) are coupled via a slaving device (60) in such a way that in the closing position of the first valve closing member (42), the second valve closing member (52) is likewise closed, and the second valve closing member (52) is adjustable only after the attainment of a predetermined opening position of the first valve closing member (42) in the valve opening direction.
