Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines including a cylinder bushing and a mounting flange fastened thereto. The mounting flange mounts the cylinder bushing to a pump housing and includes an adjustment tool engaging portion. This adjustment tool engaging portion extends transversely outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the cylinder bushing to a greater extent than does the location of the bolts which mount the flange to the pump housing. The cylinder bushing is received within the pump housing so that it can be rotated by the adjustment tool within a limited angular region for effecting a basic setting of the fuel quantity supplied by the pump.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
380 words
In a combination, a fuel injection pump for use in internal combustion engines, and an adjustment tool for adjusting the basic fuel quantity setting for the pump, the pump including: a. a housing within which there is formed at least one bore for receiving a piston and an associated guiding structure, and an associated pair of bolt receiving bores, with all the bores extending into the body of the housing from an upper end face thereof; b. a cylinder bushing mounted within the receiving bore of the housing and forming the guiding structure for the piston, the cylinder bushing forming an axial bore into which the piston extends and within which the piston is displaced, and at least one control bore in the side wall thereof; said cylinder bushing being received within the receiving bore of the housing so that it can be rotated within a limited angular region for effecting a basic setting of fuel quantity supplied by the pump; c. a pair of bolts; d. a mounting flange fastened to the cylinder housing and extending transversely outwardly therefrom, said mounting flange including a pair of bores which align with the bolt receiving bores when the mounting flange is mounted to the upper end face of the housing by the pair of bolts, said mounting flange including an adjustment tool engaging portion at the outer circumference thereof, said engaging portion being formed as a slot within the mounting flange located at a greater transverse distance from the longitudinal axis of the cylinder bushing than the maximum transverse distance of the bolts from said longitudinal axis, said slot having side walls and a base which are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder bushing, the adjustment tool being adapted to engage the engaging portion to effect the rotation of the cylinder bushing within the limited angular region; e. a piston mounted within the axial bore of said cylinder bushing, said piston having an oblique control edge formed on its outer surface, said control edge cooperating with the at least one control bore for controlling the quantity of fuel delivered by the pump; and f. a pressure valve mounted within said axial bore, said pressure valve serving to control the outflow of fuel from the pump under the injection pressure.
