  • Patent number: 4750462
    Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus which the termination of the effective pump supply stroke is effected by exposing a relief conduit with the aid of a valve having for instance a control edge, whereupon a highly pressurized fuel flows out via the relief conduit and is directed into a pressure chamber defined by a rear face of a pressure valve closing member. The pressure valve closing member is located in a connection with a fuel injection line that leads from the pump work chamber to the fuel injection valve and is acted upon by a valve spring to effect closing of this injection line. The impact of fuel that reaches the pressure chamber via the releif conduit reinforces a fast closure of the pressure valve closing member at the end of injection, which leads to an abrupt termination of an injection cycle. In addition, or altenatively, the fuel injection valve closing member can also be acted upon by the impact of fuel diversion.

  • Patent number: 4615323
    Abstract: A pump/nozzle unit having an injection nozzle installed at at least approximately right angles to the longitudinal axis (A) on the pump housing of the piston injeciton pump. The injection pump is supported with a support face, which embodies its most extreme axial extension, on a support bearing located on the cylinder head of the engine. The support face is embodied by an outwardly pointing end face of a counterpart piston which is inserted into the pump cylinder in an extension of the longitudinal axis (A) and, with an inner end face, seals off the pump work chamber in a pressure-tight manner. As a result, the pumping forces resulting from the fuel which is placed under pressure in the pump work chamber are kept from affecting the pump housing and intercepted at a location on the cylinder head which is remote from a receiving bore for the injection nozzle.
