Moy Attorney, Agent, or Firm—Edwin E. Greig 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. 8 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures U.S. Patent May6, 1986 Sheetlof2 4,586,470 U.S. Patent May6, 1986 Sheet2of2 4,586,470 a | 0 30) wo ooo oh is nab Tapia) 4,586,470 1 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.
