- Each shoe 51 has a longitudinally extending part-cylindrical seat in its outer end. Within each such seat there is rotatably mounted a short longitudinally extending roller 54 which engages and rolls upon the inner surface of a four-lobed generally stationary annular cam 55 which surrounds rotatable member 19.
- the four lobes 56 on the inner surface of cam 55 are l0- cated 90 apart and function as member 17, 1? rotates with respect to the cam alternately to thrust the pistons 49 and 50 together at the same time and to allow them to separate somewhat from each other under the action of centrifugal force and with the fuel fed between them under moderate pressure by the transverse bore.

It will be seen that by suitable adjustment of plunger 64 piston 50 may be angularly positioned so that the high pressure pump begins to spill at a predetermined time in its operative stroke, thereby delivering a desired quantity of high pressure fuel at the initial portion of such stroke.
- the position of the plunger 64 is made responsive to the speed of rotation of the engine and thus of shaft 1%.
- the control mechanism is so arranged that when the engine is idling at low speed the fuel charges injected by the pump are of small volume and that when the speed of the engine increases the volume of such injected charges increases.
- a speed responsive mechanism which governs the positioning of plunger 64.
- the speed responsive mechanism includes a cage, generally designated 66, which is aflixed to and rotates With the extension 19, 17 of shaft 10.
- the cage includes a flanged sleeve 67, the flange portion 69 of which is affixed to portion 19 of the shaft extension as by rivets, as shown.

- the outer end of sleeve 76 is affixed to the inner race of a ball bearing 77. It will be apparent that as shaft 10 increases its speed the weights 71 are impelled to turn outwardly around edges 72 and thus to thrust sleeve 76 axially of shaft 10 with a force which bears a predetermined relationship to the speed of rotation of the shaft.
- the outer race of ball bearing 77 is affixed to a lever 79 in the form of a yoke which embraces shaft 10 and which is pivotally mounted at one end to casing 11 by pivot pin or axle 80.
- the other ends of the arms forming the yoke-shaped lever 79 are connected by a cross pin 81.
- a coil tension spring 82 extends from cross pin 81 to a bracket rotatably secured to the inner end of an adjusting stud 84 which extends through and has screw threaded engagement with a portion of the housing 11 of the pump.
- the spring 82 biases lever 79 in a clockwise direction against the thrust imposed thereon by the weights 71 acting through sleeve 76.
- Spring 82 and adjusting stud 34 permit the adjustment of such biasing force so as to adjust the idling speed of the engine.
- a second yoke-like lever 85 is pivoted at one end on a pair of aligned stub shafts connected to casing 11 at the opposite sides thereof.

- a lever 94 positioned externally of the pump casing 11 and connected to lever 85 by one of the pivot pins 86 permits lever 85 to be angularly adjusted by a throttle linkage, not shown.
- lever 85 adjusted to a given position, the speed of the engine remains substantially constant regardless of changes in the load thereon.
- weights 71 cause a shifting of sleeve '36 thereby to adjust plunger 64 and the spill ports 60, 61 of piston 50 so as to maintain the engine at the desired speed.
- the pump also includes an externally mounted lever 95, connected to pivot shaft 80 of lever 79, whereby the latter shaft may be turned so that the slot 60 of piston 59 remains in communication with spill port 61 throughout the entire stroke of piston 50.
- the pump shown also includes means whereby the timing of the injection strokes of the high pressure pump 46 is automatically changed in response to changes in the speed of rotation of the engine.
- a timing control arm 96 extends radially from an edge portion of the annular cam 55 and outwardly through a slot in pump housing 11 which permits the cam and its attached arm to rotate about the axis of the cam through a small angle.
- the outer end of arm 96 carires a rounded knob 97 which is operatively connected to.
- a hollow piston 102 reciprocably mounted within a bore 101 in a. sub-housing 99 affixed to casing 11. by a stud 100. As shown in FIG.

- Fuel under transfer pump pressure in annular groove 31 is led through angular passage 107 (FIG. 1) to an annular space 109 surrounding the stud 100 (FIG. 4). Frompassage 109 the fuel travels through passage 110 through a one-way valve 11 and thence through a further passage 112 into bore 101 at the location of. a longitudinal groove 114 in piston 102. Fuel flows to the right through groove 114. into the space 115 between the outer end of thepiston and the cylinder.
- the pressure of the fuel delivered by the transfer pump varies generally in accordance with the speed of the transfer pump and thus of. the engine. Accordingly, as the speed of the engine increases the pressure of the fuel in space 115 increases, thereby thrusting piston 102 to the left (FIG. 4) to advance the timing of the operative fuel injecting strokes of the pump 46.

The pump of the invention is of particular advantage when employed toinject measured quantities of fuel such as oil-directly into the cylindersof an internal combustion engine. The particular pump shown is one designed for use with a four-cylinder solid-injection diesel engine. It will be understood, however, that pumps within the scope ofthe invention are not thuslimited, and are capable of use to advantage in a variety of applications.
As shown in FIG. 1, theillustrative fuel injection pump has a longitudinally extending main shaft which extends into and is rotatably mounted within a casing gen erally designated by the character 11. The casing 11- is adapted to be secured to the engine through the medium of a flange 13 on the housing, the casing being capable of limited adjustment. about the axis of shaft 14) through the medium of arcuate slots 18 in flange 13 through which mounting studs (not shown) threadedly secured to the engine block extend. The shaft 10 is driven in synchronism with the crank shaft of the engine, in a four cycle engine being driven at half crank shaft speed, so as to deliver fuel charges to the engine in the proper timed relationship.
The casing or housing 11 has a cylindrical outer portion 14 within which is sealingly mounted a removable inner housing part 12. 0 rings 15 and 16, mounted in axially spaced peripheral grooves in housing part 12, provide a seal between parts 12' and 14. Rotatably mounted within an axially extending bore in housing part 12, and closely interfitting therewith, is a rotatable distributor 17 in the form of anextension on shaft 10. Between the rotatable distributor. 17 and the shaft, the shaft extension is radially enlarged at 19 to provide a high pressure pump portion, to be described.
The outer end of rotatable distributor 17 drives a low pressure or transfer pump, generally designated 20, by means of which fuel is forwarded from a fuel source such as a tank under moderate pressure to. the high pressure, fuel-injecting pump. The transfer pump 20 includes a longitudinally extending eccentrically bored casing 21 which is non-rotatably mounted in a bore at the outer end of easing part 12. The outer end of rotatable member 17 is cross slotted at 22, the cross slots carrying a first and a second slidable vane, 24 and 25, respectively, which are disposed transversely of each other. Transfer pump 26} is supplied with. fuel through an inlet fitting 26 which forms a part of a cap member secured to the outer end of casing part 12 by studs, one of which is shown in FIG. 2. Fuel entering at fitting 26 travels into the transfer pump through passage 27 and after having been subjectedto pressure in such pump is discharged therefrom through a passage 29. From passage 29 the discharged fuel. flows under pressure through a further passage 3% into an annular groove 31 which extends peripherally of casing part 12 and: is disposed between 0 rings 15 and 16.
Connected to annular groove 31 is a pressure relief valve 32 which prevents the pressure of the fuel delivered by the transfer pump to the highpressure fuel-injecting pump from exceeding a desired value. The pressure relief valve 32, shown more particularly in FIG. 2, is connected to annular groove 31: by means of the passages 35 and M which lead to the pressure relief. valve proper. When the pressure of the fuel in groove 31 exceeds a predetermined value, the spring pressed ball 36 is thrust from its seat, thereby allowing the escape of excess fuel through passage 37 in casing part 12 to an annular. groove 39 therein. From groove 39 the excess oil flows into the free'space within housing 11, which is generally filled with fuel during its operation, from whichit is returned to the fuel tank by means not shown.
Casing part 12' is provided with four equally angularly spaced passages 40, one of which is shown in FIG. 2, which lead from annular, groove 31 inwardly to the central bore through part 12. Rotatable distributor 17 has an annularly directed passage 41 therein, passage 41 having its outer (right hand, FIG. 2) end connected. to the inner end of each of passages 40 at predetermined times during rotation of member 17, and having its inner (left hand) end connected at all times to the space between the opposed pistons of the high pressure fuel-injectingpump, to be described; Passage 41 is provided with a short branch passage 42 intermediate its length, the outer end of branch passage 42 communicating at predetermined times during the rotation of element 1 7 with each of four equally angularly spaced highpressure fuel discharge passages-44 in casing part 12. Communicating with the outer end of each of passages 44 is a discharge fitting, 45 (one shown in FIG. 1) from which conduits lead to injection nozzles connected to the respective cylinders of the engine. As is evident in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outer end of passage 41 is closed by an imperforate portion of the wall of the bore in casing part 12 when branch passage 42 is connected to a discharge passage 44, and the outer end of branch passage 42 is closed by an imperforate Wall portion of easing part 12 when the outer end of passage 41 communicates with an inlet passage 40. Thus the rotatable distributor 17 and the surrounding casing part 12 cooperating therewith function as a timing distributor for both the feeding of low pressure fuel from the transfer pump to the high pressure pump, and for the discharge of fuel under high pressure from the high pressure pump.
The high pressure fuel-injecting pump, generally desi nated 46, includes two opposed pistons 49 and ac curately fitting within a transverse bore 47 in the enlarged portion 19 of the member which forms an extension of shaft 10. The piston 49 is of completely circular cylindrical shape, and merely reciprocates in the bore of the pump under the action of the generally stationary timing cam, to be described. The other piston 50 not only reciprocates in the bore, but its angular position about its axis is controlled whereby selectively to vary the quantity of fuel injected by the pump at each active stroke thereof. The outer end of each of pistons 49 and 5t! abuts the inner end of a shoe 51, the shoes being reciprocably mounted within guideways 52 and 53 at the right and left hand sides, respectively, of rotatable member 19 as it is shown in FIG. 3. Each shoe 51 has a longitudinally extending part-cylindrical seat in its outer end. Within each such seat there is rotatably mounted a short longitudinally extending roller 54 which engages and rolls upon the inner surface of a four-lobed generally stationary annular cam 55 which surrounds rotatable member 19. The four lobes 56 on the inner surface of cam 55 are l0- cated 90 apart and function as member 17, 1? rotates with respect to the cam alternately to thrust the pistons 49 and 50 together at the same time and to allow them to separate somewhat from each other under the action of centrifugal force and with the fuel fed between them under moderate pressure by the transverse bore.
The angular position of piston 50, whereby the relationship between slot 60 and spill port 61 may be varied as desired, is under the control of the following mechanism. A pinion 62 secured to the outer end of piston 50 reciprocates therewith in the guideway 53. A longitudinally reciprocable plunger 64 is mounted in rotatable part 19 of the pump. Plunger 64 carries a rack gear 65 on its inner face, such rack gear meshing with pinion 62. The parts are so constructed and arranged that pinion 62 maintains its meshing engagement with rack gear 65 despite its reciprocation with piston 50 with respect thereto. It will be seen that by suitable adjustment of plunger 64 piston 50 may be angularly positioned so that the high pressure pump begins to spill at a predetermined time in its operative stroke, thereby delivering a desired quantity of high pressure fuel at the initial portion of such stroke.
In the pump of the illustrative embodiment the position of the plunger 64 is made responsive to the speed of rotation of the engine and thus of shaft 1%. The control mechanism is so arranged that when the engine is idling at low speed the fuel charges injected by the pump are of small volume and that when the speed of the engine increases the volume of such injected charges increases. There is thus provided in the pump a speed responsive mechanism which governs the positioning of plunger 64.
The speed responsive mechanism includes a cage, generally designated 66, which is aflixed to and rotates With the extension 19, 17 of shaft 10. The cage includes a flanged sleeve 67, the flange portion 69 of which is affixed to portion 19 of the shaft extension as by rivets, as shown. The cage has a plurality of similar pocket-forming enclosure members 70 within each of which there is positioned a weight 71 having a sharp outer corner 72 at the junction of its inner transverse and longitudinally outer surfaces. Such surfaces are disposed at an angle of somewhat less than 90 with respect to each other so that the weights rock about edges 72 in their respective pockets as they are subjected to varying centrifugal force. Each of weights 71 has a radially inwardly projecting flange 74 which overlies an annular flange 75 on the inner end of a sleeve 76 which is keyed to shaft 10 so as to be slidable therealong and rotatable therewith. The outer end of sleeve 76 is affixed to the inner race of a ball bearing 77. It will be apparent that as shaft 10 increases its speed the weights 71 are impelled to turn outwardly around edges 72 and thus to thrust sleeve 76 axially of shaft 10 with a force which bears a predetermined relationship to the speed of rotation of the shaft.
The outer race of ball bearing 77 is affixed to a lever 79 in the form of a yoke which embraces shaft 10 and which is pivotally mounted at one end to casing 11 by pivot pin or axle 80. The other ends of the arms forming the yoke-shaped lever 79 are connected by a cross pin 81. A coil tension spring 82 extends from cross pin 81 to a bracket rotatably secured to the inner end of an adjusting stud 84 which extends through and has screw threaded engagement with a portion of the housing 11 of the pump. The spring 82 biases lever 79 in a clockwise direction against the thrust imposed thereon by the weights 71 acting through sleeve 76. Spring 82 and adjusting stud 34 permit the adjustment of such biasing force so as to adjust the idling speed of the engine.
The speed of the engine under other than idling conditions is under the control of mechanism now to be described. A second yoke-like lever 85 is pivoted at one end on a pair of aligned stub shafts connected to casing 11 at the opposite sides thereof. One such stub shaft is shown at 86 in FIG. 1. A cross pin 87 connects the outer or free ends of the arms making up the lever 85. A second coil tension spring 89 extends between cross pin 81 of lever 79 and the cross pin 87 of lever 85. The terminal position of lever 85 at the low speed end of the operating range of the engine is determined by the adjusted position of an adjusting stud 90 which extends through and has screw threaded engagement with the housing 11 at a position aligned with the outer end of lever 85. In the idle or at rest position of the pump shown in FIG. 1 the spring 89 extends somewhat rearwardly of the longitudinal axis of lever 79, the spring 89 then being in substantially its relaxed condition so that it has little or no effect upon the adjusted idling speed of the engine. When, however, lever 85 is rotated clockwise from the position shown in FIG. 1, the spring 89 exerts a biasing effect upon lever 79 which varies with the degree of angularity of the spring 89 past the axis of lever 79. As a consequence, the biasing force exerted upon sleeve 76 in opposition to the force exerted thereon by weights 71 may be changed by changing the angular position of lever 85. A lever 94 positioned externally of the pump casing 11 and connected to lever 85 by one of the pivot pins 86 permits lever 85 to be angularly adjusted by a throttle linkage, not shown. With lever 85 adjusted to a given position, the speed of the engine remains substantially constant regardless of changes in the load thereon. To accomplish this result, weights 71 cause a shifting of sleeve '36 thereby to adjust plunger 64 and the spill ports 60, 61 of piston 50 so as to maintain the engine at the desired speed. The pump also includes an externally mounted lever 95, connected to pivot shaft 80 of lever 79, whereby the latter shaft may be turned so that the slot 60 of piston 59 remains in communication with spill port 61 throughout the entire stroke of piston 50. When lever 79. is thus moved, the delivery of fuel under high pressure to the engine is cut off, and the engine stops.
The pump shown also includes means whereby the timing of the injection strokes of the high pressure pump 46 is automatically changed in response to changes in the speed of rotation of the engine. A timing control arm 96 extends radially from an edge portion of the annular cam 55 and outwardly through a slot in pump housing 11 which permits the cam and its attached arm to rotate about the axis of the cam through a small angle. The outer end of arm 96 carires a rounded knob 97 which is operatively connected to. a hollow piston 102 reciprocably mounted within a bore 101 in a. sub-housing 99 affixed to casing 11. by a stud 100. As shown in FIG. 4, the knob 9.7 on arm 96, is held between a seat 104 on the inner end surface of the hollow piston -2 and a coil compression spring 105, the outer end of which abuts a plug member 106 which closes the end of the bore in housing 99.
Fuel under transfer pump pressure in annular groove 31 is led through angular passage 107 (FIG. 1) to an annular space 109 surrounding the stud 100 (FIG. 4). Frompassage 109 the fuel travels through passage 110 through a one-way valve 11 and thence through a further passage 112 into bore 101 at the location of. a longitudinal groove 114 in piston 102. Fuel flows to the right through groove 114. into the space 115 between the outer end of thepiston and the cylinder.
The pressure of the fuel delivered by the transfer pump varies generally in accordance with the speed of the transfer pump and thus of. the engine. Accordingly, as the speed of the engine increases the pressure of the fuel in space 115 increases, thereby thrusting piston 102 to the left (FIG. 4) to advance the timing of the operative fuel injecting strokes of the pump 46. The coil compression spring 105 maintains knob 97' in contact with seat 104, tand rotatescam 55 through. arm 96 in a retarding direction when the speed of the engine decreases.
