rlhis invention relates principally to fuel pumps for internal combustion engines of the Diesel type, particularly fuel injection pumps of the type shown in Olin Patent No. 2,079,660 of May ll, 1937, wherein a piston of constant stroke has an annular groove therein adapted, at a predetermined point in the delivery stroke of the piston,
to place the pressure chamber of the cylinder in communication with a by-pass port therein and thus relieve the pressure inV said chamber and terminate the fuel delivery, and said groove has a helical upper edge that is adjusted relative to said oy-pass port, to vary the quantity of fuel delivered and thus regulate the speed of the engine, by a piston turning mechanism comprising a driving sleeve having a pinion driven by a rack rod and a driven sleeve having a squared opening iitting a squared portion of said piston and an axially slidable connection with said driving sleeve comprising lntertting tangs on said sleeves. This type of pump requires a :ne initial angular setting of the piston in its cylinder in order to obtain the exact quantity of fuel delivery required for the properv operation of the engine.
The principal object of the invention is to obtain. an accurate initial angular setting of the piston in its cylinder without varying the position of the control or raclr rod for turning said piston. The invention consists in providing a set of one of the aforesaid sleeves, the tangs of the several sleeves of the set 'being in different angular positions with respect to the point of interlocking or-driving connection. ln the preferred form, a set of driven sleeves is provided, 'each sleeve of such set having its tangs offset with respect to the tangs of the other sleeves ol said set. ln the modification, a set of interchangeable driving sleeves is provided, each driving sleeve having its tangs offset a different distance from a selected tooth of its pinion. The invention also consists in the pump and the process of setting the piston thereof hereinafter described and claimed.

Fig. 16 is a view of a chart used in angularly setting the pump pistons.
In the accompanying drawings, my invention is illustrated in connection with a pump unit adapted for mounting in the bore of a pump housing (not shown).. Said pump unit comprises a cylinder or barrel l having a piston 2 reciprocating therein and a radial inlet port 3 on one side and a radial overilow or bypass port i on the opposite side. A valve block `5 rests upon the upper end of the cylinder and has a bore that leads from the pressure chamber t and is normally closed by means of a suitable spring loaded delivery valve l.
The piston l is mounted for both rotary and.
axial sliding movement in the cylinder l and is of the-general type having an annular groove t therein that communicates through a longitudinal peripheral groove i with the pressure space t above said piston and has an inclined or helical upper edge portion it, whereby said piston may be turned in said cylinder to vary the point in its delivery stroke at which the by-pass port t is placed in communication with said pressure space through said grooves. By this arrangement, delivery of the fuel through the spring loaded delivery valve l begins as soon as the piston on its way up covers the ports il and il and ends as soon as the helical upper edge it of `the annular groove l in said piston opens the overiiow port il andthus relieves the pressure in the space li above said piston. The usual tappet (not shown) cooperates with the lower end of the piston for im parting an upward or pressure stroke thereto; and the usual spring (not shown) is einn ployed for imparting the downward or suction stroke to said piston.
The mechanism for turning the piston i in the cylinder l to vary the amount of fuel supplied to the engine for different speeds and load conditions preferaloly comprises apinion li rigid with the upper end of a cylindrical sleeve li that is rotatably mounted on said cylinder and hasan axially slidable driving connection with a sleeve I3 that has a rigid connection with said piston below said cylinder. The driving connection between the driving land driven sleeves comprises downwardly extending diametrically opposed tongues or tangs I4 on the driving or regulating sleeve I2 that fit within upwardly extending diametrically opposed notches formed lby upwardly extending diametrically opposed tongues or tangs I5 on the driven or piston connecting sleeve I3, thereby permitting relative axial movement of the two sleeves, but preventing relative rotary movement thereof. The rigid connection between the driven sleeve I3 and the piston 2 comprises a' squared or fiat-sided portion I6 on said piston that snugly fits a similarly shaped opening II in the bottom or lower end of said driven sleeve. Any suitable means (not shown) may be provided for preventing relative axial movement of said piston and said driven sleeve and the driving sleeve and the cylinder.
The driving sleeve I2 is rotated by means of a control rod I8 that is mounted in the pump housing (not shown) for axial sliding movement transversely of the driving sleeve axis and has a series of rack teeth I9 that intermesh with the teeth of the pinion II on said sleeve. When the rod I8 isl shifted to bring the lowest part of the upper edge of the annular groove 8 of the piston in line with the by-pass port 4 of the cylinder, the maximum fuel delivery is obtained, and when said rod is shifted to bring the highest portion of said edge of said groove in line with said port the minimum fuel delivery is obtained.
While the hereinbefore described arrangement permits the quantity of the fuel to be varied during the operation of the pump, an initial permanent angular setting of the piston is necessary in order that the pump will operate at its rated capacity or predetermined standard over the whole range of its operation. According to the present invention, this fine initial angular setting of the piston is obtained with a plurality or set of driven sleeves I3 each having its square piston receiving opening offset circumferentially at slightly different amounts with relation to its tangs I5. This set may comprise any desired,
number of driven sleeves having their tangs in different angular positions with respect to their squared piston receiving openings, say in angular increments of one-half degree with one degree of angular difference making a difference of 1 cu. mm. in fuel delivery for each pressure stroke of said piston. With this arrangement, when it is desired to set the pump for the rated capacity, the driven sleeve which has been Selected as standard for a pump of said rated capacity is mounted on the piston and the pump unit tested to determine whether it delivers the correct quantity of fuel. If the test shows that the pump unit delivers more or less fuel than is desired, the unit is again tested with other sleeves of the set until a sleeve is found that will position the helical edge I0 of the groove lof the piston relative to the by-pass port so as to bring about the proper fuel delivery.
In the modification shown in Figs. 13, 14 and 15, the correct fuel delivery is obtained by means of a set of driving sleeves I2, having their tangs olTset circumferentially preferably in angular increments of one-half degree with respect to two adjacent punched marked teeth I Ia of the pinions I I thereon. In the use of this set of sleeves, the punched marked teeth IIa thereof are engaged with a double tooth space I9a provided therefor in the rack I9 of the control rod I8; and if, when the pump is tested, it delivers a quantity of fuel greater or less than the quantity desired, the pump is again tested with the different driving sleeves of the set until a sleeve is found that will position the helical edge I8 of the annular groove 8 of the piston relative to the by-pass port 4 so as to bring about the desired fuel delivery.
The sleeves are preferably numbered, one being standard and those numbered above the standard number being used to correct over delivery of fuel and those numbered below the standard number being used to correct under delivery of fuel. The chart shown in Fig. 16 may be used to indicate the particular sleeve required to obtain the correct fuel delivery. On this chart the fuel delivery requirements at various speeds at one-fourth, one-half and three-fourths throttle positions are indicated by the curved lines 20, 2I and 22, respectively. By'use of these Curves and the numbered sleeves the proper sleeve may be readily determined. For instance, when the pumpis' tested with the standard sleeve and found to deliver l0 cu. mm. at one-fourth throttle at 200 R. P. M. istead of a required delivery of say 16 cu. mm., another sleeve would be selected twelve numbers higher, thus bringing the fuel delivery up to standard requirements at all throttle positions and speeds.
The above described invention provides a very simple arrangement for accurately setting the piston of a pump of the kind described without varying the relative position of the rack rod and pinion and without changing thethrow or setting of said rod; and it also enables all of the pistons of a multicylinder pump to be set to deliver equal quantities of fuel.
