  • Patent number: 4281797
    Abstract: A fuel injection device adapted to control the amount of injection by the opening time and opening area of a gate which is disposed in a fuel feed passage and which is controlled in connection with the engine rpm and the amount of suction air. The fuel injection device is characterized in that a choke is disposed between the fuel distributing port of a fuel measuring and distributing mechanism and the valve of an automatic valve type fuel injector, whereby the rate of flow and hence the rise time of pressure pulses applied to the injection valve are controlled to provide an accurate amount of injection.

  • Patent number: 4270257
    Abstract: There is disclosed a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, which is used in combination with a fuel injection device for intermittent injection of fuel and which comprises a main body having a passageway extending between a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet, a valve member which cooperates with a valve seat disposed in the outlet and which is movable between a closed position and a fully open position in response to the pressure of the fuel fed into the passageway, the valve member being made up of a shaft member and a valve head, and is manufactured in such a way that a valve head made of a steel ball is welded by an instantaneous current passage welding process to one end of the shaft member and that the steel ball is cut perpendicularly to the axis on a smaller circle toward the shaft member than the equator of the steel ball so as to form an edge where the fuel jet flares.
