Abstract
Abstract A unit injector is disposed on a cylinder head in an oblique state and rocker arms for actuating intake and exhaust valves, respectively, are disposed on both sides of the unit injector. Another rocker arm for actuating the unit injector is disposed between these two rocker arms. Support beds for supporting a rocker arm shaft that supports both rocker arms for actuating the intake and exhaust valves and another rocker arm shaft that supports the rocker arm for actuating the unit injector are formed as a unitary structure. One cam shaft for operating the rocker arms for actuating the intake and exhaust valves and the rocker arm for actuating the unit injector is disposed at a low position on the side of the unit injector as close as possible to the axis of a piston. A governor for adjusting the fuel injection quantity of the unit injector is fitted to one end of the cam shaft, in which the arrangement is such that the governor is operatively associated with a control rod disposed parallel to the crank shaft, which rod is operable in association with each unit injector to adjust the fuel injection quantity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
239 words
An overhead cam type diesel engine, comprising: unit injectors mounted on a cylinder head in an oblique arrangement relative to an axes of cylinder, a rocker arm for actuating an intake valve and another rocker arm for actuating an exhaust valve, disposed on one and another side of each unit injector, a further rocker arm for actuating the unit injector, disposed between said rocker arm and said another rocker arm, a single cam shaft disposed parallel with a crankshaft for actuating said rocker arm, said another rocker arm and said further rocker arm, a rocker arm shaft disposed parallel with said cam shaft, said further rocker arm being supported on said rocker arm shaft in a rockable manner and also in a slidable manner in an axial direction of rocker arm shaft, a pair of support beds disposed in a manner of interposing said rocker arm and said another rocker arm between them and thereon securely supporting said rocker arm shaft, two shafts respectively projected from said support beds toward a vicinity of said unit injector, said rocker arm and said another rocker arm being rockably supported on one and another of said two shafts said unit injectors are each provided with a plunger for adjusting a fuel injection quantity and a fork-shaped lever secured to said plunger, said fork-shaped lever engaging a pin mounted parallel with the unit injectors, on a control rod disposed parallel with the crankshaft.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
76 words
An overhead cam type diesel engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cylinder head is formed with insertion holes for therein receiving said unit injectors inclined relative to the axes of cylinder, said unit injectors each having a fuel intake port, said cylinder head having a fuel feed path positioned on an upper surface of the insertion holes and in communication with said fuel intake port of the unit injector received in said insertion holes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
189 words
An overhead cam type diesel engine, comprising: a rocker arm for actuating an intake valve, another rocker arm for actuating an exhaust valve and a further rocker arm for actuating an injector, disposed between said rocker arm and said another rocker arm, a single cam shaft disposed parallel with a crankshaft for actuating said rocker arm, said another rocker arm and said further rocker arm, a control rod disposed parallel with said cam shaft and capable of being reciprocated in an axial direction of the cam shaft, a governor mounted at one end of said cam shaft, a governor lever disposed in a vicinity of said governor and pressed at its one end by an end face of the governor and engaging at its other end with a pin secured to said control rod, a cylindrical support member secured at an intermediate portion of said governor lever in a perpendicular arrangement to the lever, and a torsion bar having a torsion spring force, fixed with its one end to an end face of said cylindrical support member and with its other end to a shaft of a regulator handle.
