137) ABSTRACT
‘A centrifugal speed governor, functioning as a mini-
mum-maximum-speed governor, includes an adjusting
member which is pivotable for adjusting the supply
quantity, and the governor rod of the associated injec
tion pump is adjustable via an intermediate lever by
means of the adjusting member and a governor spring
which is displaceable counter to the force of associated
governor springs. The travel of the governor rod is
limited in the direction of an increasing supply quantity
by a governor rod stop including a starting spring. With
‘the adjusting member resting on an end stop, the gover-
nor rod is pressed away from a basic test position (P)
into its full-load position (V), and the differential travel
(AR) thereby resulting is absorbed by an accumulator in
the governor linkage, preferably in the governor sleeve.
The deflection stroke (A) of the accumulator is only
slightly longer than that required to compensate for the
differential travel (AR). As a result, with the governor
off the idling spring, with the accumulator blocked, can
positively press the starting spring in the governor rod
stop. Thus it is possible, in minimum-maximum-speed
‘governors, to control a constant full-load position.

CENTRIFUGAL SPEED GOVERNOR FOR
FUEL-INJECTED INTERNAL COMBUSTION
ENGINES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘The invention is based on 2 centrifugal speed gover-
nor for fuelinjected internal combustion engines as
generally defined hereinafter. A centrifugal governor of
this kind for fuel-injected internal combustion engines is
already known from Austrian Pat. No. 175746; this
{governor operates as as a minimum-maximum-speed
governor, and the travel of the governor rod in the
