Continuous control lever for Diesel engine injector - has spring loaded action onto friction surface to hold operating lever in its set position

摘要

The lever (1) continuously adjusts a control function such as a diesel engine fuel pump or a continuously variable transmission and has a friction surface to hold the lever in the set position despite the vibrations encountered in engine related applications. The lever (1) is mounted on a pivot (2) and has a ball and socket joint (4) to the operating linkage . A spring (8) under the lever forces a plate (5) against a friction material (6) running against the side of the lever cover (9). A pin (10) is welded to the first plate and engages a hole in the lever to transmit torque to the friction surface. The tension on the spring (8) is set by an adjustable nut (7) on the end of the pivot (2).
