One cam shaft for operating the rocker arms for actuating the intake and exhaust valves and the rocker arm for actuating the unit injector is disposed at a low position on the side of the unit injector as close as possible to the axis of a piston.
Abstract: A resilient drive for a fuel injection pump governor comprising a resilient coupling connecting the governor speed sensing mechanism to the governor shaft. In a preferred embodiment, the governor flyweight assembly is rotatably mounted with respect to the governor shaft and is connected thereto by a resilient coupling which permits the limited momentary rotation of the flyweight assembly with respect to the shaft to dampen torsional vibrations.
Abstract: In a centrifugal governor for use with an internal combustion engine, means is provided which is adapted to bring an adjusting member into urging contact with a fuel quantity increasing lever engaging the guide lever and the floating lever only at engine full load in medium and high engine speed ranges, whereby contraction of the adaptation spring causes angular displacement of the fuel quantity increasing lever in the fuel quantity increasing direction. Stopper means may also be provided which is adapted to be in urging contact with the fuel quantity increasing lever in the medium and high engine speed ranges to prohibit angular displacement of the fuel quantity increasing lever in the fuel quantity decreasing direction which is caused by the contraction of the adaptation spring, when the adjusting member is positioned off the fuel quantity increasing lever at engine partial load.
Abstract: In internal combustion engines operated with fuel injection, particularly Diesel engines, of the type having injection pump (1) and injection nozzle (2) integrated to a constructional unit associated to one engine cylinder and having control of the fuel amount supplied by the pump effected by rotating the pump piston (4) provided with at least one oblique control edge giving free, in dependence on the rotational position, a back-flow bore for the fuel at an earlier or later moment, rotation of the pump piston is effected by means of a crank (11) having its crank pin extending parallel to the axis of the pump cylinder. The crank (11) is fixedly arranged on the driven end of the pump piston (4), i.e. either rigidly connected with the pump piston (4) or manufactured with the pump piston to form one single piece.
Abstract: A fuel governor for a diesel engine having a fuel pump mechanically driven by the engine. The system includes an idle speed governor comprising a hydraulically activated valve. A first fuel line connects the valve to the fuel pump and a second fuel line connects the valve to the fuel injectors. The valve is activated by increasing fuel pressure to decrease the flow of fuel through the fuel lines and is activated by decreasing fuel pressure to increase the flow of fuel through the lines.

Abstract: A surge brake is described for application to a fuel pump for an internal combustion engine in which an elongated throttle rod is moved axially to control flow of fuel from the pump to the engine. The brake is mounted adjacent an end of the throttle rod and includes a plunger that is adapted to axially engage the throttle rod end. The plunger is spring loaded and positioned by adjustment provisions to produce a selected yieldable resistance to movement of the throttle or rod toward an open condition. Free axial motion of the throttle rod that produces "surging" of the engine is thereby effectively eliminated.
Abstract: Governors for diesel engines use a torque-spring to control the slope torque-rise curve as the rack actuator moves between the balance point and full load position. At present, it is difficult to adjust the torque spring mechanism to obtain the correct amount of rack movement between these positions. In the present invention, a first adjustment screw (33) is engageable with the torque spring (20), a second adjustment screw (34) is engageable with a fixed stop member (24), and a means (40) concurrently moves the first screw (33) in spring-deflecting engagement with the torque spring (20) and moves the second screw (34) towards engagement with the stop member (24) in response to fuel-increasing movement of the rack actuator (12), with further fuel-increasing movement of the rack actuator (12) being prevented by engagement of the second screw (34) with the stop member (24).
Abstract: In a distributor type fuel injection pump including a load-responsive pressure adjusting device which is responsive to engine loads for allowing drainage of part of the fuel in the suction chamber of the pump into a zone under lower pressure in the pump when the engine is operated within a predetermined load range, a pressure setting valve is provided in a drainage passage forming part of the pressure adjusting device, which is adapted to open at a predetermined pressure. The pressure setting valve enables establishment of necessary fuel pressure for normal actuation of a fuel injection timing control device provided in the pump within a low engine speed (rpm) range even during operation of the pressure adjusting device.
Abstract: A governor sleeve is axially displaceable on a stationary governor shaft and has an inner space which is adjoined by the governor shaft and communicated with the inner chamber of a pump housing charged with fuel. The inner space varies in volume drawing thereinto and discharging therefrom fuel in response to axial displacement of the governor sleeve. There is provided valve and channel means which establishes restricted communication between the inner space and the inner chamber upon displacement of the governor sleeve in the direction to produce contraction of the inner space and substantially unrestricted communication between same upon displacement of the governor sleeve in the opposite direction to produce expansion of the inner chamber in order to prevent an acceleration jerk and smoky exhaust.
Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is provided with an engine speed responsive governor having a governor arm suspension system that includes a spherical pivot fulcrum and a complimentary concave pivot surface on the governor arm to permit multi-directional articulation of the arm thereby preventing the slidable governor sleeve from binding on the drive shaft of the pump driven by the engine.
Abstract: A centrifugal governor for internal combustion engines in which the engine speed at which governing action starts varies as a function of the spring constant of a control spring. At least two control springs are provided in a fashion that their respective spring constants are adjustable independently of each other. The governing action can thus take place in two or more different engine r. p. m. ranges with respective percentages of speed change freely settable at optional values.
Abstract: A centrigural rpm governor for fuel injected internal combustion engines is proposed in which an adaptor assembly located inside the governor can be used over the entire range of practical applications of such a governor. The governor includes parallel coextensive arms, a governor lever and a cooperative governor rod which has a counterstop provided with a sliding block that is movably disposed between the parallel coextensive arms against the initial stressing force of a spring member with the counterstop being arranged to cooperate with a stop means pivotally associated with the housing. The spring member is arranged to load the sliding block and adjustable for the purpose of varying the initial stress and setting the onset of adjustment.

Abstract: A centrifugal rpm governor for internal combustion engines is proposed, the flyweights of which are so embodied as to attain both inexpensive mass production thereof and favorable distribution of physical mass. The mass of the flyweight supported on a flyweight carrier is preferably manufactured of sintered steel and one of each are firmly screwed on a lever arm of a bell crank manufactured of sheet steel. These lever arms are embodied as angle brackets which are open toward the flyweight carrier, the mutually parallel arms of which bracket laterally enclose the flange of the flyweight carrier. A crosspiece which connects the two parallel arms has an end face oriented away from the bearing bores of the bell crank and disposed, in the resting position of the flyweight, at least approximately perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the rpm governor and against which end face the flyweight mass is firmly screwed by means of securing screws stressed up to the yielding-stress threshold.
Abstract: A centrifugal rpm governor is proposed for fuel injected internal combustion engines in which the full-load supply quantity is precisely settable at a fixed and invariable full-load setting and a predetermined constant pivot angle of the setting member actuated by the service lever. The governor includes an intermediate lever that is coupled with the supply quantity adjustment member of the injection pump, which intermediate lever is engaged both by a control member that is moved by flyweights in accordance with rpm and a setting member pivotable for the purpose of arbitrarily varying the supply quantity. The setting member and the control member both are articulated on the intermediate lever via a shift lever connecting both members, and the intermediate lever is provided with a pivotal bearing adjustable in the governor housing solely for the purpose of accomplishing the basic setting of the full-load supply quantity.

Abstract: A speed governor is proposed for fuel injected internal combustion engines capable of correcting the amount and/or mass of the injected fuel set by the governor, in order to maintain engine power at a fluctuating fuel temperature. The governor contains a supporting lever which retains the supporting pin of a control lever movable by the control member. The control lever is coupled with the fuel feed rate adjusting member of the injection pump, and the supporting lever is pivotable in the direction of an increase in the fuel feed rate, by means of a servo actuator of a correction device operating in dependence on the fuel temperature, when the fuel temperature rises. This correction step effective on the supporting lever also makes it possible to shut off the engine, independently of the fuel feed rate correction, by means of a shutoff lever effective on the supporting lever.
Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injection system provided with a pump and at least one nozzle, in which the fuel quantity which collects by leakage in the spring chamber of the nozzle for the purpose of limiting the speed of the needle as it opens flows out through a throttle valve in a controlled manner. The throttle valve is controlled in accordance with engine characteristics.
