Patent number: 4796581Abstract: The governor includes a torque-control capsule actuated by a governor member that adjusts in accordance with rpm and disposed in a force-transmitting member subject to the force of a governor spring, by means of which torque-control capsule both the onset and control stroke (b) of torque control are adjustable or settable in an infinitely graduated manner without affecting one another. The torque-control capsule has a stop bolt inserted in a stepped longitudinal bore of a stop housing, a torque-control spring and an adjusting screw, which forms an abutment for the torque-control spring. The adjusting screw is adjustable in an infinitely graduated manner and is secured in a positionally fixed manner inside the stop housing in the vicinity of an internal thread.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1984Date of Patent: January 10, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Werner Bruhmann

Patent number: 4796592Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is proposed having a hydraulic instant-of-injection adjuster, which is exposed to an rpm-dependent pressure formed with the aid of a pressure control valve; the control of the pressure control valve is effected by means of variations of the control pressure acting upon it. This control is accomplished with the aid of at least one electrically controlled valve which is controlled by a control device in accordance with operating parameters. In this cost-efficient manner, the correct adjustment of the instant of injection can be established very precisely over the entire operating range of the engine, including the warm-up phase, at varying operating conditions.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1986Date of Patent: January 10, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerald Hofer, Helmut Laufer, Max Straubel

Patent number: 4796667Abstract: The invention relates to a brake pressure control valve which contains a brake pressure build-up valve. The brake pressure build-up valve comprises a pressure compensated seat valve. A second valve member, a rod between the two valve members and a tubular compensating piston are provided to produce pressure compensation at the valve member. The compensating piston which encloses the rod is displaceable relative to the latter and comprises a second valve seat at its end directed towards the second valve member. A sealing ring also encloses the tubular compensating piston. When the first valve member is raised from its valve seat, the second valve member can precede the tubular compensating piston, thereby preventing friction forces between this compensating piston and its sealing ring from being disruptive during opening of the seat valve. Also provided is a valve slide which only uncovers flow bores when the seat valve is opened for the purpose of increasing brake pressure.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1987Date of Patent: January 10, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Georg Kehl, Ernst-Dieter Schafer

Patent number: 4794899Abstract: A correction spring capsule which has a stop bolt inserted in a stepped longitudinal bore of a housing embodied as a screw sheath, a correction spring and an adjusting screw, which forms the abutment for the correction spring. This adjusting screw has the form of a cup-shaped adjusting ring provided with a continuous external thread and having a bottom and a sheath-like wall. The sheath-like wall is deformed into an oval shape in order to attain positional fixation of the adjusting screw and has its greatest deformation in the vicinity of one end section that is open toward the outside. As a result, the adjusting screw is infinitely adjustable and is secured in a positionally fixed manner in any position inside the housing in the vicinity of an internal thread.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1984Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Werner Bruhmann

Patent number: 4795098Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve that serves in particular in inject fuel into the intake tube of internal combustion engines operating with fuel injection systems. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing core with a surrounding magnetic coil and a guide diaphgram secured across the valve housing, the guide diaphragm urges an armature/valve closing element, embodied in one piece in the form of a spherical section, toward a valve seat. The guide diaphragm loosely engages a flat bearing face of the armature, so that the valve closing element can automatically center itself with respect to the valve seat. Upon a reciprocating movement of the armature/valve closing element, the frictional force between the guide diaphragm and the bearing face prevents a radial movement of the armature/valve closing element.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1987Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Marcel Kirchner, Hans Kubach, Asta Hascher-Reichl

Patent number: 4795097Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve, which serves to supply fuel to a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing with a mouth piece, in which a valve seat body is disposed, included are two magnet coils, two cores and one armature, which has a spherical guide section and is connected to a valve needle. The spherical guide section is slidably supported with its circumference in a guide bore of the valve seat body and in its stroke movement away from the core is limited by a tapered stop opening which adjoins the guide bore. Radially extending grooves are machined into the wall of the stop opening and are coextensive in the wall of the guide bore, so that the area of contact between the spherical guide section and the stop opening is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1987Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Max Greiner, Udo Hafner, Waldemar Hans, Heinrich Knapp, Wolfgang Kramer, Rudolf Krauss, Ferdinand Reiter, Peter Romann, Rudolf Sauer

Patent number: 4792287Abstract: An axial piston pump for pumping a medium such as a viscous liquid in which a wobble element is set into rotating movement via a piston, the wobble element moving at least one feed piston in a piston bore. The piston bore is intended to communicate, via a transverse line and a further piston bore which is occupied by a control piston, with an intake line for the medium to be pumped. By means of this axial piston pump, which is valve-controlled on the compression side and slide-controlled on the intake side, liquid having a high viscosity can be pumped without a loss of efficiency, and any noise produced by the pump can be reduced. These latter advantages are reinforced still further provided the feed system is received in a pump insert that is supported with respect to a pump housing by means of elastic bearing elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1987Date of Patent: December 20, 1988Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Norbert Alaze, Heinz Leiber
