  • Patent number: 6085716
    Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine, in particular a one cylinder diesel engine, with a fuel injection system. The engine is provided with a mechanical control device comprising an actuator and a control element for automatic interruption of the fuel supply in case of a lack of lubricating oil. The control circuit actuator is equipped with a vacuum advance (15) with a membrane (12) for the pressurization of a closing tappet (10), in which a pressure chamber, formed by the membrane (12) and the vacuum advance (15), is open to the atmosphere. In addition, the control conduit (18) is equipped with a connection (20) on the side of the oil circuit and a connection (22) on the side of the crankcase, in order to produce a depression the control unit.

  • Patent number: 4928643
    Abstract: A rewind or recoil starter for an internal combustion engine which is adapted to be coupled to the engine element to be started, and which is returned to its resting position by a rewind or recoil device after manual operation of its actuating structure and after the engine has started. A safety device in the starter is provided which, in the event of an unsuccessful starting operation and upon kick-back of the engine element against the starting direction, uncouples the actuating structure of the starter from the back-kicking engine element. The starter is equipped with a driven member rigidly seated on the engine element to be started, and with a driving member which, during starting, is driven by way of the actuating structure to drive the engine element in the starting direction.

  • Patent number: 4617894
    Abstract: A fuel injected internal combustion engine which drives a device such as a vehicle which is susceptible to sudden undesirable acceleration or deceleration is provided with injection pumps having fuel quantity control members which are coupled to an activator which in turn effects simultaneous adjustment of the control members under the control of an operator. At least one mass is coupled to the activator and prevents or compensates for undesired forces tending to effect movement of the control members as a result of accidental acceleration or deceleration of the device.
