Abstract
Abstract To avoid the lifting off and re-impacting of the flyweights (13) of a fuel injection timing device on their associated slide surfaces (14, 15) during the occurrence of a negative torque, it is proposed to transmit a part of this torque by an oil film. For this purpose, lubricating oil from the internal combustion engine flows through the timing device. At least one of the flyweights (13) cooperates as a transmission element (21) with a slide member (22) and with the two coupling parts (11, 12) whereby slide surfaces (23-28) with areal abutments are provided between the parts, between which an effective oil film can form.
