Abstract: A fuel injection pump for an internal combustion engine comprises a cam disc having a camming surface which, when the cam disc is rotatively driven, causes a plunger to be rotated and reciprocated to allow drawn fuel to be pressurized and distributed, to thereby deliver the pressurized fuel to the engine. The camming surface is configured such that the plunger is moved substantially at a constant velocity for the engine idling, and after the termination of the constant velocity region the velocity of movement of the plunger is increased to a highest value higher than that for the engine idling, and before entering the constant velocity region the plunger is moved at a velocity higher than the above constant velocity but lower than the highest value.

Abstract: A movable vane type compressor having a rotor rotatable within a cam cylinder. The inner peripheral surface of the cam cylinder and the outer peripheral surface of the rotor approach each other most closely at a plurality of positions which in combination define a plurality of compression chambers between these peripheral surfaces. The rotor carries a plurality of movable vanes which are movable radially inwardly and outwardly with their one ends held in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cam cylinder as the rotor rotates so as to cause suction, compression and discharge actions in each compression chamber. A refrigerant passage for introducing the refrigerant gas into the compression chambers is formed between the side plate closing one axial end of the cam cylinder and a front cover covering the side plate. The suction passage extends in a hook-like form in the direction of rotation of the rotor.
