Abstract
A throttle valve control device for controlling the amount of inlet air fed to an internal combustion engine has a throttle valve disposed in an air intake passage, a throttle shaft integrally connected with the throttle valve so as to rotate with the throttle valve in a body, a driving source for generating driving torque, and a driving torque transmitting mechanism disposed between the driving source and the throttle shaft for transmitting the driving torque to the throttle shaft. The driving torque transmitting mechanism includes a torque limiting mechanism for limiting the transmitted driving torque to a predetermined level.
