Abstract
Abstract A distribution type fuel injection pump comprising a plunger and a control sleeve slidably mounted on the plunger. The plunger reciprocally moves along its axis while at the same time rotating about same. The control sleeve is rotated about the plunger at the time of the starting operation of an engine. A groove is formed on the cylindrical inner wall of the control sleeve. A plurality of radial passages connected to the compression chamber of the plunger is formed in the plunger. Each of the radial passages is arranged so as to face the groove of the control sleeve at one time per one revolution of the plunger. At the time of starting the engine, the radial passages are connected to the groove of the control sleeve in the suction stroke for increasing the quantity of the fuel to be injected. Contrary to this, the radial passages are connected to the groove of the control sleeve at the beginning of the delivery stroke slightly after the engine has been started.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
342 words
A fuel injection pump for use in a fuel injected internal combustion engine having a fuel feed pump, said fuel injection pump comprising: a housing having a fuel chamber contained therein, said fuel chamber being supplied with fuel by said fuel feed pump and being pressurized to the output pressure of said fuel feed pump; a plunger having a longitudinal axis of movement, said plunger being movably mounted and forming a compression chamber within said housing at one end portion of said plunger, said plunger having a delivery stroke and a suction stroke; driving means for reciprocally moving said plunger along said axis and for rotating said plunger about said axis; fuel supply means for introducing fuel into said compression chamber during said suction stroke; delivery port means for feeding fuel into the engine from said compression chamber during said delivery stroke; a leak port formed in said plunger and connected to said compression chamber; a control sleeve movably mounted on said plunger for normally closing said leak port and for connecting said leak port to said fuel chamber at the end of said delivery stroke to complete said delivery stroke; a governor device actuating said control sleeve for controlling the quantity of fuel to be injected; a first passage formed in said control sleeve and connected to said fuel chamber; a second passage formed in said plunger and connected to said compression chamber, said second passage being arranged for normal connection with said first passage once per one stroke of said plunger at the beginning of said delivery stroke; and actuating means for rotating said control sleeve about said plunger to connect said first passage to second passage during said suction stroke and to disconnect said first passage from said second passage during said delivery stroke during the starting operation of said internal combustion engine, said actuating means being responsive to the output pressure of said fuel feed pump to sense the completion of the starting operation and thereby connect said first passage to said second passage during said delivery stroke.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
342 words
A fuel injection pump for use in a fuel injected internal combustion engine having a fuel feed pump, said fuel injection pump comprising: a housing having a fuel chamber contained therein, said fuel chamber being supplied with fuel by said fuel feed pump and being pressurized to the output pressure of said fuel feed pump; a plunger having a longitudinal axis of movement, said plunger being movably mounted and forming a compression chamber within said housing at one end portion of said plunger, said plunger having a delivery stroke and a suction stroke; driving means for reciprocally moving said plunger along said axis and for rotating said plunger about said axis; fuel supply means for introducing fuel into said compression chamber during said suction stroke; delivery port means for feeding fuel into the engine from said compression chamber during said delivery stroke; a leak port formed in said plunger and connected to said compression chamber; a control sleeve movably mounted on said plunger for normally closing said leak port and for connecting said leak port to said fuel chamber at the end of said delivery stroke to complete said delivery stroke; a governor device actuating said control sleeve for controlling the quantity of fuel to be injected; a first passage formed in said control sleeve and connected to said fuel chamber; a second passage formed in said plunger and connected to said compression chamber, said second passage being arranged for normal connection with said first passage once per one stroke of said plunger at the beginning of said delivery stroke; and actuating means for rotating said control sleeve about said plunger to connect said first passage to second passage during said suction stroke and to disconnect said first passage from said second passage during said delivery stroke during the starting operation of said internal combustion engine, said actuating means being responsive to the output pressure of said fuel feed pump to sense the completion of the starting operation and thereby connect said first passage to said second passage during said delivery stroke.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A fuel injection pump as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second passage comprises a plurality of radial bores.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
69 words
A full injection pump as claimed in claim 1, wherein said actuating means includes, a piston having a top face exposed to the pressure within said fuel chamber, and bias means for applying a bias force to said piston in a direction opposite to the force applied by the fuel chamber pressure, said piston moving in accordance with the difference between said bias force and the fuel chamber pressure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A fuel injection pump as claimed in claim 3, wherein said control sleeve has an arm attached thereto, and wherein said piston includes a channel member having a groove, said arm engaging with said groove of said channel member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A fuel injection pump as claimed in claim 3, wherein said control sleeve has a cylindrical inner wall which is sealingly inserted around said plunger, said first passage being formed between said plunger and said cylindrical inner wall of said control sleeve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A fuel injection pump as claimed in claim 5, wherein said first passage is a groove formed on one end portion of said cylindrical inner wall of said control sleeve.
