Abstract
Abstract A continuously operable fuel injection device comprises a sleeve having a substantially triangular measuring window communicating with the outlet port of a main body, the sleeve being inserted in the cavity of the main body, and a control spool having an annular groove communicating with the inlet port of the main body through an axially extending hole and axially slidably inserted in the sleeve, the substantially triangular measuring window cooperating with the annular groove of the control sleeve to form a variable orifice. By axially sliding the control spool, any desired flow rate can be obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A continuously operable fuel injection device comprising a sleeve having a substantially triangular metering window communicating with the outlet port of a main body, said sleeve being inserted in the cavity of said main body, and a control spool having an annular groove communicating with the inlet port of said main body through an axially extending through hole, said control spool being axially slidably inserted in said sleeve, said substantially triangular metering window of said sleeve cooperating with the annular groove of the control spool to form a variable orifice, the end face of said control spool resiliently pressed against a control rod adapted to transmit the displacement of a flow rate detecting valve disposed in a suction air passage, whereby a direct correspondence between the degree of opening of the variable orifice and the axial position of the flow rate detecting valve is assured.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A continuously operable fuel injection device comprising a sleeve having a substantially triangular metering window communicating with the outlet port of a main body, said sleeve being inserted in the cavity of said main body, and a control spool having an annular groove communicating with the inlet port of said main body through an axially extending through hole, said control spool being axially slidably inserted in said sleeve, said substantially triangular metering window of said sleeve cooperating with the annular groove of the control spool to form a variable orifice, the end face of said control spool resiliently pressed against a control rod adapted to transmit the displacement of a flow rate detecting valve disposed in a suction air passage, whereby a direct correspondence between the degree of opening of the variable orifice and the axial position of the flow rate detecting valve is assured.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
65 words
A continuously operable fuel injection device as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that the control spool inserted in the sleeve having the substantially triangular metering window comprises two spools each having an end face at right angles with its axis, said spools being put together end to end to define a uniform slit around the periphery encircling the butted ends of said spools.
