Abstract
Abstract A floating lever has an intermediate fulcrum and is pivotally connected at one end to a fuel control rod. The other end of the floating lever carries a pin. A second lever is pivotally connected at an intermediate point to a manual fuel control member and at one end to flyweights. The other end of the second lever engages with one side of the pin. An arm is pivotally carried by the second lever and is urged by a spring to engage with the opposite side of the pin. A boost compensator diaphragm assembly includes an adjustable linkage with which the pin is abuttingly engageable. The spring is adapted to yield when the flyweight rotational speed decreases and the flyweights rotate the second lever so that the pin abuts against the linkage so that the positions of the pin, floating lever and thereby the control lever in the fuel increasing direction are limited by the diaphragm assembly.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
In a fuel injection governor having flyweights, a pressure sensitive means and a fuel control rod, the combination therewith of: a first lever being rotatable about a fixed point and pivotally connected to the control rod, the pressure sensitive means being abuttingly engageable with the first lever; a pin carried by the first lever; a second lever being rotatable about an intermediate point and pivotally connected at one end to the flyweights, the other end of the second lever abuttingly engaging with one side of the pin; an arm pivotally connected to the second lever and engaging with a side of the pin opposite to the other end of the second lever; and biasing means yieldably urging the arm into engagement with the pin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
In a fuel injection governor having flyweights, a pressure sensitive means and a fuel control rod, the combination therewith of: a first lever being rotatable about a fixed point and pivotally connected to the control rod, the pressure sensitive means being abuttingly engageable with the first lever; a pin carried by the first lever; a second lever being rotatable about an intermediate point and pivotally connected at one end to the flyweights, the other end of the second lever abuttingly engaging with one side of the pin; an arm pivotally connected to the second lever and engaging with a side of the pin opposite to the other end of the second lever; and biasing means yieldably urging the arm into engagement with the pin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The governor of claim 1, in which the pressure sensitive means abuttingly engages with the pin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The governor of claim 1, further comprising a manual fuel control member, the second lever being pivotally connected at the intermediate point to the manual fuel control member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The governor of claim 1, in which the pressure sensitive means includes a diaphragm means and a linkage, the linkage engaging at one end with the diaphragm means and at its other end with the first lever.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The governor of claim 4, in which the linkage is provided with adjustment means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
86 words
The governor of claim 1, further comprising a linkage connecting the pressure sensitive means to the first lever, the linkage including a first rod connected to the pressure sensitive means, a pin carried by the first rod, a third lever rotatable about an intermediate point and engaging at one end with the pin of the first rod, an axially movable second rod engaging at one end with the first lever, the other end of the third lever engaging with the other end of the second rod.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
The governor of claim 6, further comprising a third rod carried by the other end of the third lever and engaging with the other end of the second rod and means for adjustably varying the length of the third rod.
