Abstract
Abstract A fuel injector of the accumulator type for use in an internal combustion engine which has a primary accumulator chamber and an auxiliary one. These accumulator chambers are connected through check valves with each other. The fuel injector is constructed such that the timing of fuel injection through an injection nozzle can be always kept constant regardless of the quantity of fuel under a high pressure to be supplied into the primary accumulator chamber which varies in response to the load on the engine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A fuel injector for use in internal combustion engines including a fuel injector body, a nozzle means provided with injection orifices formed on the leading end thereof, a primary fuel accumulator chamber in the body, and a spring loaded or biased nozzle valve capable of opening inwardly disposed in the primary fuel accumulator chamber, wherein when said nozzle valve is moved to its open position by the pressure of the fuel under high pressure in the primary accumulator chamber, the fuel in the latter is injected through the injection orifices into a combustion chamber of the engine, characterized by further comprising an auxiliary accumulator chamber connected through first and second check valve means with said primary accumulator chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A fuel injector for use in internal combustion engines including a fuel injector body, a nozzle means provided with injection orifices formed on the leading end thereof, a primary fuel accumulator chamber in the body, and a spring loaded or biased nozzle valve capable of opening inwardly disposed in the primary fuel accumulator chamber, wherein when said nozzle valve is moved to its open position by the pressure of the fuel under high pressure in the primary accumulator chamber, the fuel in the latter is injected through the injection orifices into a combustion chamber of the engine, characterized by further comprising an auxiliary accumulator chamber connected through first and second check valve means with said primary accumulator chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
112 words
A fuel injector as claimed in claim 1 wherein when the pressure of the fuel under high pressure in said primary accumulator chamber exceeds a predetermined value, said first check valve means is actuated to allow the fuel under high pressure to flow into said auxiliary accumulator chamber, whilst when the supply of the fluid under high pressure is interrupted and said nozzle valve is moved inwardly by the pressure of the fuel under high pressure within the primary accumulator chamber thereby injecting the fuel, said second check valve means is actuated to allow the fuel under high pressure within said auxiliary accumulator chamber to be delivered into the primary accumulator chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A fuel injector as claimed in claim 1 wherein the volume of said auxiliary accumulator chamber is larger than that of said primary accumulator chamber.
