PCT No. PCT/JP94/02083 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 16, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 16, 1995 PCT Filed Dec. 12, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/16112 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 15, 1995A suction control device for a multiple cylinder internal combustion engine comprising a shell body presenting a suction path communication to each cylinder in a multiple cylinder internal combustion engine, a rotary shaft (21a) penetrating and born by the shell body, a butterfly valve (21) supported by the rotary shaft and provided in each of the suction paths so that it can freely open or close the suction path, and a restricting means for restricting movement of the rotary shaft in the axial direction; wherein the rotary shaft and the butterfly valve are monolithically formed with a resin material, the shell body is made from a resin material, and the restricting means comprises an expanding piece (21b) monolithically formed on the rotary shaft and having a width in the radial direction thereof, a contact wall (24) formed on the shell body and slidably contacting and supporting the expanding piece, and a resilient energizing member (33) for energizing the expanding piece to contact it to the contact wall. With this feature, the weight reduction of the device can be achieved and also the rotary shaft can bee accurately and precisely supported in the thrust direction and can be prevented from becoming loose.
