Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
Apparatus for adjusting the injection timing of an internal combustion engine fuel injection pump in response to supplied pressure proportional to the speed of said engine, comprising: a cylinder; a piston, movable within said cylinder in response to said supplied pressure, for advancing said injection timing in response to said supplied pressure; a spring urging said piston against said pressure; engaging means, movable between a first and a second position, for engaging said piston in said first position to move said piston against said spring to advance said timing independent of said supplied pressure and for disengaging said piston in said second position to permit said piston to operate freely in response to said supplied pressure; and means for moving said engaging means to said first position during cold starting of said engine, and moving said engaging means to said second position during normal engine operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
Apparatus for adjusting the injection timing of an internal combustion engine fuel injection pump in response to supplied pressure proportional to the speed of said engine, comprising: a cylinder; a piston, movable within said cylinder in response to said supplied pressure, for advancing said injection timing in response to said supplied pressure; a spring urging said piston against said pressure; engaging means, movable between a first and a second position, for engaging said piston in said first position to move said piston against said spring to advance said timing independent of said supplied pressure and for disengaging said piston in said second position to permit said piston to operate freely in response to said supplied pressure; and means for moving said engaging means to said first position during cold starting of said engine, and moving said engaging means to said second position during normal engine operation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 1 wherein said means for moving said engaging means comprises means responsive to the temperature of said engine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 2 wherein said means for moving said engaging means includes a thermostat having an electric heating element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 3 wherein, the heating element of said thermostat is coupled to a preliminary heating device of the heater plugs of said engine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 3 wherein the heating element of said thermostat is connected and disconnected in accordance with the temperature of said engine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 1 wherein said means for moving said engaging means includes a plunger, mounted to said cylinder coaxial to said piston, which acts on said piston in opposition to said spring.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 6 wherein said means for moving said engaging means further comprises a lever acting on said plunger and a cable for actuating said lever.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 6 wherein said means for moving said engaging means further comprises a slide ramp, mounted on a rotating plate, and acting on said plunger.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 8 wherein said means for moving said engaging means further includes a cable for actuating said rotating plate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
Apparatus as specified in claim 1 wherein said means for moving said engaging means is manually operated.
