RPM Governor for a fuel injection pump

Claim 1

In an rpm governor for a fuel injection pump of an internal combustion engine which includes a quantity adjustment means for determining the quantity of fuel injected, said quantity adjustment means being movable along a predetermined path between a first position at which a maximum quantity of fuel is injected and a second position at which a minimum quantity of fuel is injected, a first shaft, a governor lever means for positioning said quantity adjustment means, said governor lever means being pivotable about said first shaft and coupled to said quantity adjustment means, an rpm adjuster means for exerting a force on said governor lever means proportional to the rpm of the internal combustion engine, restoring force means for exerting a force on said governor lever means counter to the force exerted on said governor lever means by said rpm adjuster means, a second shaft having opposite ends defining an axis therebetween, said second shaft being pivotably mounted for rotation about its axis; a first pin, disposed eccentrically on said second shaft; an adjustment lever means, connected to said second shaft for arbitrary pivotal movement of said second shaft; and a governor spring, connected at one end to said first pin and at an opposite end to said governor lever means; and a rotary electromagnet having an armature which is engaged with said second shaft to vary the setting of said rpm governor.
