Abstract
Abstract A sintered cam ring is secured to the inner surface of a cylindrical body by means of a bolt. A fuel injection pump has a rotor which supports a roller rotating along the inner surface of the sintered cam ring and is driven by an engine. The sintered cam ring is provided in the outer surface thereof with a groove extending along the central axis thereof. A positioning member for fixing the position of the groove and that of a pin hole formed in the body for receiving a bolt is inserted such as to stretch between the groove and the pin hole. Further, a bolt is employed to secure and tighten the positioning member fitted in both the pin hole and the groove from the outside of the body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
In a fuel injection pump having a sintered cam ring secured to the inner surface of a cylindrical body, and a rotor which supports a pair of rollers and a pair of pistons rotating along the inner surface of said cam ring and is driven by an engine, the improvement comprising said cylindrical body having a pin hole opened at a portion of said body where a bolt is received; said sintered cam ring having a groove formed in the outer surface thereof along the central axis of said cam ring such as to oppose said pin hole in said cylindrical body, said groove being formed along the axial direction of the sintered cam ring when said sintered cam ring is pressure-molded before the sintering of the cam ring; a positioning member inserted such as to stretch between said groove and said pin hole; and said bolt for tightening said sintered cam ring and said body from the outer surface of said body through said positioning member which is secured in both said pin hole and groove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
