A flyweight is disposed at an end of the cam shaft so as to produce propulsion power backward, and the movement of the flyweight causes the tension lever, which has a point of support at its center, to rotate, thereby pressing a governor spring assembly of a concentric, multi-core spring which exerts no load on elements that support the spring assembly. The displacement of the flyweight causes via the tension lever the torque cam to rotate. A guide lever and a floating lever are rotatably supported at the lower end of the tension lever, and the opposite end of the guide lever is united with the floating lever by a cancellation spring.

Abstract: A centrifugal adjuster for a fuel injection pump governor having a driving part driven at an rpm in synchronism with the engine and having a torsionally elastically coupled flyweight holder guided in a rotational guide. Via a step, beyond a predetermined rotational deflection, the centrifugal adjuster displaces the flyweight holder axially with respect to the driving part, so that a jolt-like stroke effected by means of the step is superimposed on the regulating stroke effected via the flyweights of the centrifugal adjuster whenever the rpm is at a low level, for instance at idling rpm. As a result, a friction that leads to see-sawing of the engine and exhibits pronounced hysteresis is shaken out of the governor.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for Diesel internal combustion engines, particularly vehicle Diesel engines, is proposed which has a full-load stop dependent on atmospheric pressure. The position of the full-load stop which adapts the injection quantity to the variable ambient air pressure is derived from an air pressure adjusting member and transmitted onto the full-load stop via a transmission member. A locking mechanism, which locks the transmission device in a plurality of positions counter to the force exerted by the full-load stop, is associated with the transmission member. The transmission member has two disks draggably coupled within a predetermined range, one of which disks is actuated by the air pressure adjusting member and the other of which disks cooperates with the full-load stop. The draggable coupling effects an adjustment of the full-load stop, if the full-load stop is relaxed, so that the air pressure adjusting member need exert no more than a small adjusting force.

Abstract: A centrifugal governor ensures a positive engine starting operation as well as a smoke control in the low engine speed range and a usual fuel injection control responsive to an increase in engine speed. A control rod with a rack is operatively connected with a floating lever through a spring biased piston and cylinder assembly, so that the control rod can be freely moved to its maximum fuel injection position during engine starting without being effected by a smoke limiter, which may be associated with the governor for a smoke control purpose. A unique lever mechanism is operable to move the control rod to the maximum fuel injection position during engine starting but, after a predetermined engine speed is reached, yields to a movement of the control rod in a fuel decreasing direction caused by the floating lever through the piston and cylinder assembly.

Abstract: The governor (FIG. 1) includes a second idling spring (supplementary idling spring 42) secured on a force transmission lever (31) acted upon by the main governor spring (34). By means of the second idling spring, the restoring force of a first idling spring (38) on a portion of the idling sleeve path (a) is reinforced in the idling position of an adjusting member (22). This exertion of force on the part of at least the supplementary idling spring (42) is increased in accordance with load by means of a corrective adjusting member (44) when the adjusting member (22) has pivoted into a partial-load position. As a result, in order to improve the starting behavior even in minimum-maximum speed governors, a partial-load rpm located above the idling rpm can be regulated, and a progressively increased supply quantity is controlled at the associated injection pump with increasing load in the lower partial-load range.

Abstract: A fuel injection pumping apparatus includes a governor which controls the size of an orifice through which fuel is supplied to an injection pump to determine the amount of fuel supplied by the pump to an associated engine. The governor includes a piston which at one end is subjected to fuel pressure and which bears at its other end against a spring connected in series with a spring. The spring is weaker than the spring so that at idling speed it is the spring which balances the force acting on the piston. Manually operable means is provided to effect movement of an abutment disposed between the springs, the spring acting to determine the maximum speed of the associated engine. When the engine has been started from cold, it is desirable to provide additional fuel to enable the engine to idle properly and for this purpose a device represented by the arrow, moves the end of the spring remote from the spring and this provides a temporary increase in the amount of fuel supplied at idling speeds.
