Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
An adjusting mechanism for the rotational speed-dependent control of the injection instant of an injection pump of internal combustion engines, comprising a primary member operable to be driven by a crankshaft and a secondary member operable to be drivingly connected with the pump shaft, guide means for the primary part and guide means for the secondary part, flyweight means guided between respective guide means, and return spring means supported at the guide means of the primary part and at the guide means of the secondary part which with increasing rotational speed of the adjusting mechanism counteract the flyweight means, characterized in that within the lower rotational speed range of the adjusting mechanism a clearance is provided between an end of at least one return spring means and a guide means of the secondary part whereby a more rapidly responding adjustment is achieved within a lower rotational speed range of the adjusting mechanism.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
An adjusting mechanism for the rotational speed-dependent control of the injection instant of an injection pump of internal combustion engines, comprising a primary member operable to be driven by a crankshaft and a secondary member operable to be drivingly connected with the pump shaft, guide means for the primary part and guide means for the secondary part, flyweight means guided between respective guide means, and return spring means supported at the guide means of the primary part and at the guide means of the secondary part which with increasing rotational speed of the adjusting mechanism counteract the flyweight means, characterized in that within the lower rotational speed range of the adjusting mechanism a clearance is provided between an end of at least one return spring means and a guide means of the secondary part whereby a more rapidly responding adjustment is achieved within a lower rotational speed range of the adjusting mechanism.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
An adjusting mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that said at least one return spring means is disposed substantially opposite at least another return spring means installed with prestress.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
An adjusting mechanism according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the return spring means are arranged proximate a housing inner wall of the primary part in a cross-sectional plane of the adjusting mechanism perpendicular to the radial direction.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
An adjusting mechanism according to claim 3, characterized in that the internal combustion engine is an air-compressing injection internal combustion engine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
An adjusting mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that said primary part guide means and said secondary part guide means have curved guide surfaces in the same direction defined by circular arcs not having the same center points.
