  • Patent number: 4747760
    Abstract: A pump for feed-pumps of fuel injection systems for internal combustion engines having a manually actuatable element, which operates counter to the force of a restoring spring to effect an inward stroke of a piston which includes a valve tappet thereon that pushes open a ball valve to the fuel feeding system of a feed pump. In operation, a medium is positively displaced from a work chamber into the feeding system. Upon an automatic return stroke of the piston, a medium is aspirated from the fuel feeding system of the feed pump into the work cylinder and at the end of the return stroke the ball valve closes automatically. In its position of repose, the pump does not require its piston to be locked in place, and pressure impacts of the feed pump are prevented from reaching the piston.

  • Patent number: 4332227
    Abstract: An injection timing device is proposed for internal combustion engines, by means of which the mutual rotary position of the output shaft with respect to the input shaft can be varied in dependence on the speed and on at least one further operating parameter. The timing device comprises flyweights, operating in dependence on the speed against the force of resetting springs, and hydraulically operated control elements which engage the flyweights, these control elements, which are effective radially toward the outside, being accommodated within the timing element. By changing the position of the control elements, the radial position of the flyweights, which otherwise is determined only by centrifugal force, can be additionally varied in dependence on at least one further operating parameter of the engine, preferably the load, in order to correct the instant of injection.

  • Patent number: 4227498
    Abstract: A centrifugal governor is proposed which has particular applicability to the rpm-dependent variation of ignition or injection timing in internal combustion engines. The centrifugal governor is comprised primarily of a driving shaft and a driven shaft and of a governor disc removably connected with the driven shaft. One eccentric pair is situated on the governor disc for each flyweight; each eccentric pair is coupled with the driven shaft, which serves as the camshaft of an injection pump and may be rotated by the flyweights articulated on the eccentrics in order to vary the mutual rotary position of both shafts.
