Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
An injection device for internal reciprocating combustion engines having injection valves mounted in a suction pipe and controllable by electrical impulses for introducing fuel under variable pressure from a fuel supply, comprising; a fuel return line connected to said fuel supply, an adjustable excess pressure valve for controlling the pressure of the fuel from said fuel supply to said injection valves by varying the fuel flow resistance in said fuel return line, a throttle vaLve mounted in said suction pipe, an engine accelerator, means for connecting said throttle valve and said excess pressure valve to said engine accelerator for simultaneous operation of said adjustable pressure valve and said throttle valve with acceleration and deceleration of said engine, electromagnetic valve means mounted in said return line for raising the fuel pressure to said injection valves when operated, switching means actuated by said engine accelerator for operating said valve means only under substantially full acceleration conditions, and a contact device for operating said valve means depending on the r.p.m. of said engine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
An injection device for internal reciprocating combustion engines having injection valves mounted in a suction pipe and controllable by electrical impulses for introducing fuel under variable pressure from a fuel supply, comprising; a fuel return line connected to said fuel supply, an adjustable excess pressure valve for controlling the pressure of the fuel from said fuel supply to said injection valves by varying the fuel flow resistance in said fuel return line, a throttle vaLve mounted in said suction pipe, an engine accelerator, means for connecting said throttle valve and said excess pressure valve to said engine accelerator for simultaneous operation of said adjustable pressure valve and said throttle valve with acceleration and deceleration of said engine, electromagnetic valve means mounted in said return line for raising the fuel pressure to said injection valves when operated, switching means actuated by said engine accelerator for operating said valve means only under substantially full acceleration conditions, and a contact device for operating said valve means depending on the r.p.m. of said engine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
An injection device as in claim 1 further comprising a distributor having means responsive to the varying centrifugal force of the rotation of said distributor, means for generating constant duration electrical impulses for controlling said injection valves and responsive to said centrifugal force means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
78 words
An injection device as in claim 2 wherein said means for generating electrical impulses includes adjustable means connected to said means responsive to a centrifugal force to be adjusted by said centrifugal force inversely proportional to the r.p.m. of said engine, an impulse cam driven by said adjustable means, a pair of spaced slidable contacts intermittently interconnected to said impulse cam, and each of said slidable contacts is respectively connected to the engine battery and said injection valves.
