Abstract
A throttle gear is fastened to a throttle shaft . A relief lever is pivotally mounted on the throttle shaft . A return spring urges the relief lever in a valve closing direction with respect to a throttle body . The throttle body contacts the relief lever at a second contact position A when the relief lever pivots to a predetermined pivot position B in the valve closing direction. A relief spring urges the throttle gear in a valve opening direction with respect to the relief lever . The relief lever contacts the throttle gear at a first contact position B when the throttle gear pivots to the predetermined pivot position B in the valve opening direction. The first and second contact positions B, A are located within or to one side of a plane P that is perpendicular to the rotational axis L of the throttle shaft . Plane P preferably includes a third position C at which the biasing force of the return spring acts on the relief lever
