FUEL PUMPING APPARATUS

摘要

A fuel pumping apparatus of the rotary distributor type has a pumping plunger (14) mounted in a bore (13) in the distributor member and a cam ring (24) operable to move the plunger inwardly in timed relationship with the associated engine. The cam ring is positioned by a fluid pressure operable piston (25) contained within a cylinder (26). The apparatus includes a further piston (31) mounted in a further cylinder connected to the first mentioned cylinder, the further piston being biased by a pre-stressed spring (32). A stop is provided to limit the movement of the further piston against the action of the spring which yields to limit the fuel pressure developed by the plunger during the initial inward movement.
