Patents by Inventor Guenter Bofinger

Guenter Bofinger has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6748930
    Abstract: A high-pressure pump for supplying internal combustion engines with fuel includes a housing, on which a timing unit for displacing the point of injection is accommodated. The timing unit includes an injection timing piston having inlet bores, and a regulating slide, whose face facing a cold-start accelerator piston has a prestress force applied to it, is movably accommodated in the injection timing piston. A spring element, which is applied directly to the injection timing piston, as well as a spring assembly, which is independent of the spring element and accommodated on a carrier and act on the regulating slide, are positioned between the cold-start accelerator piston and the opposing face of the injection timing piston.

  • Patent number: 5033506
    Abstract: A delivery valve for controlling fuel flow from a fuel-injection pump to an internal combustion engine and comprising a seat member, a closing member movable relative to the seat member for controlling flow of fuel through the passage channel of the seat member, and a spring for biasing the closing member into engagement with a valve seat on the seat member. The closing member includes a return-flow collar sealingly displaceable in the passage channel and located outside of the passage channel in an open position of the delivery valve, and a control collar located closely adjacent to the return-flow collar. The control collar has a diameter corresponding to a diameter of the passage channel, a periphery and at least one recess formed on the periphery and extending along an entire length of the control collar.

  • Patent number: 5027767
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump including a housing having an adjustable coupling device on the outside of the housing by which the speed governor can be adjusted from outside the housing of the fuel injection pump. By use of the adjustable coupling device on the outside of the housing, it is possible to eliminate production-oriented parts tolerances by means of adjustments of the speed governor, without tampering with its internal conditions.
