Abstract
Abstract A device for locking a cam shaft of a fuel injection pump for an internal combustion engine including a coupling block connected to a projecting portion of the cam shaft rotatably supported by a pump body. The cam shaft locking device includes a locking pin threadably engaged in a threaded opening formed in one of a fixed member on the pump body and the coupling block, and a locking plate formed with an opening for fitting the locking pin therein secured to the other of the fixed member and the coupling block, whereby the cam shaft can be locked in an optimum rotational position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A cam shaft locking arrangement for a fuel injection pump for an internal combustion engine which includes a pump body rotatably supporting a cam shaft which has an end outside said body with a coupling block secured to the end for connection to a member driven by the engine, comprising: a locking plate, having a recessed guide portion for snugly receiving a locking pin therein, secured to a fixed portion on the pump body for adjustment of the position of said plate relative to the body; means defining a threaded opening in the coupling block aligned with said recessed guide portion; and a locking pin having an intermediate portion thereof threadably engaged in said threaded opening with an end thereof fitting snugly in said recessed guide portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A cam shaft locking arrangement for a fuel injection pump for an internal combustion engine which includes a pump body rotatably supporting a cam shaft which has an end outside said body with a coupling block secured to the end for connection to a member driven by the engine, comprising: a locking plate, having a recessed guide portion for snugly receiving a locking pin therein, secured to a fixed portion on the pump body for adjustment of the position of said plate relative to the body; means defining a threaded opening in the coupling block aligned with said recessed guide portion; and a locking pin having an intermediate portion thereof threadably engaged in said threaded opening with an end thereof fitting snugly in said recessed guide portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
