Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pump for Diesel engines comprises a plunger unit in the pump body, a delivery valve, and an injection-quantity control mechanism in the pump body between the plunger unit and delivery valve. The control mechanism has a piston slidable in the pump body and communicated with the plunger unit and delivery valve and also has an injection-quantity control member coaxial with the piston and axially adjustable in position to press the piston against the pump body with the aid of a spring on the other end of the piston. The lift limit distance of the piston to be adjusted by the injection-quantity control member is preset to a range not less than that obtained by dividing the quantity of fuel to be injected at the engine start by the cross sectional area of the piston.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
In a fuel injection pump for Diesel engines comprising plunger means installed in the pump body, a delivery valve, and injection-quantity control means provided in the pump body between the plunger means and delivery valve, said control means having a piston slidably disposed in the pump body, with the space adjacent to one end thereof communicated with the plunger means and delivery valve, the improvement wherein said injection-quantity control means further comprises a regulator spindle means for displacing said piston in direct response to the speed of rotation of the engine, said regulator spindle engaging a regulator piece disposed between said spindle and the other end of said piston in coaxial relationship therewith, said regulator piece being axially adjustable by said regulator spindle to press the piston against the pump body through the agency of a spring located on the other end of the piston, the maximum volume displaced by of the piston being determined by the injection-quantity control means and being preset to a range not less than the volume injected initially at the engine start.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
In a fuel injection pump for Diesel engines comprising plunger means installed in the pump body, a delivery valve, and injection-quantity control means provided in the pump body between the plunger means and delivery valve, said control means having a piston slidably disposed in the pump body, with the space adjacent to one end thereof communicated with the plunger means and delivery valve, the improvement wherein said injection-quantity control means further comprises a regulator spindle means for displacing said piston in direct response to the speed of rotation of the engine, said regulator spindle engaging a regulator piece disposed between said spindle and the other end of said piston in coaxial relationship therewith, said regulator piece being axially adjustable by said regulator spindle to press the piston against the pump body through the agency of a spring located on the other end of the piston, the maximum volume displaced by of the piston being determined by the injection-quantity control means and being preset to a range not less than the volume injected initially at the engine start.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The fuel injection pump of claim 1 wherein said regulator spindle means is coupled with speed governor means connected with said engine for activating said spindle means in response to the speed of the engine.
