In an externally ignited internal combustion engine with a knocking sensor which comprises a membrane to absorb the vibrations of the engine housing during knocking of the internal combustion engine, cooperating with a vibration absorber, whereby the membrane is formed by a thin walled location of the engine housing or by an opening in the wall of the engine housing which is closed by a membrane plate. The knocking sensor can be mounted at an easily accessible location and it is also assured that the resonance characteristic of all internal combustion engines of a series are the same at the location scanned by the knocking sensor.

Internal combustion engine with a knocking sensor

A spark-ignition fuel-injection internal combustion engine is provided with a measuring member in its induction system to measure the air flow and a fuel injection nozzle in its induction system downstream of the measuring member.

Spark ignition fuel injection internal combustion engine

A trochoidal type rotary internal combustion engine wherein the intake port is controlled by the rotor, and variation in the fuel feed is provided by a slidable valve member in the intake pipe, which in closed position seats very close to the peripheral surface of the engine cavity to prevent entry of exhaust gas into the intake line at idling or low load conditions, the valve being controlled by a foot pedal or other conventional adjusting means.
