Abstract
A load adjustment apparatus for an internal combustion engine has a torsion spring (,) which is attached in a positively locking manner to a control shaft (,) for a throttle valve and a supporting part (,). At one end, the torsion spring (,) is bent in a U-shape in order to engage around a pin (,) of the supporting part (,), and has a spring tongue (,) which points in the direction of the base of the U. For mounting, the open end of the U of the torsion spring (,) is pressed over the pin (,) until the spring tongue (,) snaps in behind the pin (,). The torsion spring (,) is then connected in a positively locking manner to the pin (,) and can transmit forces in both rotation directions to the control shaft (,).
