Abstract
Abstract In an rpm limit shut-off regulation effected by a piston which is displaceable by the rpm-dependent pressure of a regulator fluid and which limits the injection quantity, it is proposed to influence the shut-off curve via a pressure roller which engages a contact surface of the piston. The shut-off curve can be selected to be steeper or flatter over the entire range or a partial range. However, without requiring additional means, the full-load injection quantity can also be influenced in accordance with the rpm. To this end, rapidly rotating parts with necessarily resulting high wear are not required.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
An rpm regulator for fuel injection pumps for internal combustion engines comprising a first housing forming an injection pump suction chamber, an injection pump within said first housing at least one control lever for a control sleeve of said injection pump which doses the injection quantity, a spring loaded piston movable within a second housing in response to rpm-dependent pressure means of a regulator fluid, said piston arranged to cooperate with a stop means which limits the injection quantity, said piston being displaceable against a spring in response to the pressure of the regulator fluid to create a pressure-dependent axial displacement and said piston and having at least one contact surface arranged to roll against a pressure roller means, said pressure roller means being subjected to fluid pressure influences in said suction chamber, to create a pressure-dependent force of said roller means, the movement of said piston within said second housing being responsive to the form of said contact surface, the force of said pressure roller means and the pressure-dependent axial displacement of the piston against the spring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
An rpm regulator for fuel injection pumps for internal combustion engines comprising a first housing forming an injection pump suction chamber, an injection pump within said first housing at least one control lever for a control sleeve of said injection pump which doses the injection quantity, a spring loaded piston movable within a second housing in response to rpm-dependent pressure means of a regulator fluid, said piston arranged to cooperate with a stop means which limits the injection quantity, said piston being displaceable against a spring in response to the pressure of the regulator fluid to create a pressure-dependent axial displacement and said piston and having at least one contact surface arranged to roll against a pressure roller means, said pressure roller means being subjected to fluid pressure influences in said suction chamber, to create a pressure-dependent force of said roller means, the movement of said piston within said second housing being responsive to the form of said contact surface, the force of said pressure roller means and the pressure-dependent axial displacement of the piston against the spring.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 1, in which said piston is subjected on one side to the pressure of the regulator fluid and on the other side to a low return flow pressure, further wherein said pressure roller means influences and is supported in a carrier, said carrier being displaceable within a guide means, said carrier having oppositely disposed surfaces, each of said surfaces arranged to be subjected to at least one of several different pressures.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 1, further wherein two pressure rollers are disposed in symmetrical carrier means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said contact surface comprises a smooth surface area which is parallel to the displacement direction of said piston and an oblique smooth surface is arranged between said piston and said smooth surface area.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 4, further wherein the oblique smooth surface slopes toward the center of the piston, in the direction in which the piston moves when the pressure rises.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said piston is displaceable between plural adjustable stop means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said piston cooperates with said control lever via a bifurcated pivotable lever.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 7, further wherein said bifurcated lever has one free end that is held in a slot of an extension of said piston.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words

Claim 11
Dependent Claim
23 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 9, further wherein said spring which acts upon said piston is articulated on said control lever.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
16 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said spring can be initially stressed.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
35 words
An rpm regulator in accordance with claim 1, further wherein a plurality of springs is provided, whereby at least one of said springs acts upon the said piston only within a limited stroke range thereof.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
