Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pumping apparatus includes an angularly adjustable cam ring having cam lobes which co-act with rollers to effect inward movement of a pumping plunger. The cam ring is connected to a piston which due to the reaction of the rollers with the cam lobes, develops a pressure acting on a plunger element. The plunger element is spring loaded and when the pressure exceeds a predetermined value the cam ring will be allowed to move angularly to adjust the injection characteristic of the pump.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
275 words
A fuel injection pumping apparatus comprising a rotary distributor member defining a bore including a reciprocal pumping plunger, a cam member for effecting reciprocation of said plunger in said bore to provide a pumping action on rotation of said distributor member, means mounting said cam member for limited rotational movement during rotation of said distributor member and means controlling said limited rotational movement of the cam member to control the injection pressure characteristics of the apparatus, said controlling means comprising a first cylinder, a first piston in said first cylinder, connection means between said cam member and said first piston, said connection means urging said first piston towards one end of said first cylinder as a result of a reaction force established between said cam member and said plunger during a pumping stroke of said plunger, a second cylinder having one end communicating with said one end of said first cylinder and having its other end open to atmosphere, said second cylinder including a second piston and resilient means in said second cylinder, said resilient means urging said second piston towards said one end of said first cylinder and resisting movement of said first piston towards said one end of said first cylinder until said reaction force increases sufficiently to overcome the force of said resilient means to effect movement of said first piston and movement of said cam member in the direction of rotation of said distributor member and said first piston and said cam member being moved in reverse direction under the influence of said second piston and said resilient means when said reaction force decreases below the force of said resilient means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
275 words
A fuel injection pumping apparatus comprising a rotary distributor member defining a bore including a reciprocal pumping plunger, a cam member for effecting reciprocation of said plunger in said bore to provide a pumping action on rotation of said distributor member, means mounting said cam member for limited rotational movement during rotation of said distributor member and means controlling said limited rotational movement of the cam member to control the injection pressure characteristics of the apparatus, said controlling means comprising a first cylinder, a first piston in said first cylinder, connection means between said cam member and said first piston, said connection means urging said first piston towards one end of said first cylinder as a result of a reaction force established between said cam member and said plunger during a pumping stroke of said plunger, a second cylinder having one end communicating with said one end of said first cylinder and having its other end open to atmosphere, said second cylinder including a second piston and resilient means in said second cylinder, said resilient means urging said second piston towards said one end of said first cylinder and resisting movement of said first piston towards said one end of said first cylinder until said reaction force increases sufficiently to overcome the force of said resilient means to effect movement of said first piston and movement of said cam member in the direction of rotation of said distributor member and said first piston and said cam member being moved in reverse direction under the influence of said second piston and said resilient means when said reaction force decreases below the force of said resilient means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The apparatus of claim 1 further including spring means in said first cylinder urging said first piston towards said one end of said first cylinder and means connecting said one end of said first cylinder to a source of pressurized fluid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said means connecting said one end of said first cylinder to a source of pressurized fluid includes a non-return valve for preventing flow of fluid from said one end of said first cylinder to said source.
