  • Fuel injection pump
    Patent number: 5464334
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump has a cam actuated plunger which is moved inwardly in a bore to displace fuel through an outlet. A port is formed in the wall of the bore and at some position during the inward movement of the plunger is uncovered by a control edge to allow fuel to escape from the bore. In order to damp the final inward movement of the plunger a further edge of the groove progressively covers the port so as to restrict the rate at which fuel can escape through the port.
