VORRICHTUNG ZUR SELBSTTAETIGEN ABSCHALTUNG EINER EIN FAHRZEUG ANTREIBENDEN BRENNKRAFTMASCHINE IN LEERLAUFPHASEN UND ZUM SELBSTTAETIGEN WIEDERANWERFEN DERSELBEN

摘要

The vehicle has its starter (16) switched in to restart the combustion engine after its no-load phase when the accelerator pedal is depressed. The accelerator pedal operates a switch (8) which in turn closes a relay (12,13) that closes the circuit containing the starter. A speed-dependent switch (9) by-passes the accelerator-pedal switch shorting it out below a river speed and thereby causing the clutch to disengage and decouple the engine from the gears. Operating the clutch pedal causes another switch (10) to disable the accelerator-pedal switch and the by-passing switch. The clutch is disengaged by disabling the circuit (5) that supplies it with current.
