  • Patent number: 4557235
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel injection quantity controlling device for diesel engines having a vertically extending crankshaft. The device has a control rod disposed in parallel with the crankshaft. In the event of a failure in the mechanism for vertically and reciprocatingly driving the control rod, e.g. a lever, link or the like, the control rod moves downward by the force of gravity to automatically stop the fuel supply to the unit injectors.

  • Patent number: 4448166
    Abstract: A unit injector is disposed on a cylinder head in an oblique state and rocker arms for actuating intake and exhaust valves, respectively, are disposed on both sides of the unit injector. Another rocker arm for actuating the unit injector is disposed between these two rocker arms. Support beds for supporting a rocker arm shaft that supports both rocker arms for actuating the intake and exhaust valves and another rocker arm shaft that supports the rocker arm for actuating the unit injector are formed as a unitary structure. One cam shaft for operating the rocker arms for actuating the intake and exhaust valves and the rocker arm for actuating the unit injector is disposed at a low position on the side of the unit injector as close as possible to the axis of a piston.
