The device is based mechanically upon axial cylinder and plunger hydraulic devices using a swash plate to reciprocate the plunger or plungers, but further includes a gear train to cause the plunger or plungers to simultaneously rotate as they reciprocate within the cylinders. Reliefs in the sides of the plungers periodically rotate into alignment with inlet and outlet ports to provide a fluid flow path.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved cam for a fuel injection pump. The cam has a mountain-like cam projection at its surface disposed in contact with a roller. The cam projection has a lift region extending from a leading end thereof to a peak thereof. At the lift region, the cam is lifted in response to the rotation of the cam, so that a plunger is moved to pressurize fuel in a pump chamber. The lift region has first, second and third angle portions arranged in this order from the leading end of the cam projection toward the peak of the cam projection. The first angle portion serves to increase a lift speed of the cam, and terminates in a position where the lift speed becomes the maximum. The second angle portion serves to lower the lift speed. The deceleration is greater at an initial section of the second angle portion than at a final portion of the second angle portion.

The piston and cylinder can be formed from a hard ceramic material for accuracy and wear resistance. The cylinder is closed by a resilient end cap to relieve pressures caused by piston movement when the inlet and outlet ports are closed.

Abstract: An equal velocity universal joint is suitable for coupling shafts, driving and driven shafts, of mutual machines and for use in an axial piston pump motor device. One ends driving pins of the equal velocity universal joint rotate along a predetermined locus on a concentric circle while rotating and sliding by themselves in the cylinder bores of the driving or driven shaft. Spherical head portions of the other ends perform rotating motion in cylinder bores or ball receiving bores of the driving or driven shaft. Accordingly, the respective drving pins continue linear sliding motion in response to the rotation of the driving or driven shaft and thereby the spherical head portions of the other ends are held at the concentric circle on the driving or driven shaft so as to keep the driving center in floating state. As a result, the respective pistons are driven on a concentric circle, thereby an equal velocity universal joint is realized and the mechanical vibration thereof is substantially eliminated.

In a particularly advantageous manner, the follower is pressed against the cam holder under spring pre-tension.
