  • Patent number: 7871251
    Abstract: A high-pressure pump for feeding fuel to an internal combustion engine has a pump housing; a fuel delivery duct; and a check valve, which is arranged along the delivery duct, and comprises a fuel chamber; a valve member mobile within the fuel chamber; and a biasing and guiding assembly, which has a fastening member suitable for being fastened to the pump housing and sealing the fuel chamber in a fluid-tight manner; a helical spring suitable for biasing the valve member; and a bushing arranged about the helical spring in order to prevent bending of the helical spring.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7571713
    Abstract: The high-pressure pump has at least one pump element with a pump piston driven in a reciprocating motion and guided displaceably in a cylinder bore of a pump housing part which piston defines a pump work chamber that can be filled with fuel from a fuel inlet via a suction valve in the intake stroke. The suction valve has a pistonlike valve member which has a cylindrical shaft and a head of larger cross section at least the shaft is guided displaceably in a guide bore of a valve housing. The head of the valve member is also guided displaceably in a bore of the valve housing, via guide portions embodied on the valve member and spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction; between the guide portions, flowthrough portions of reduced cross section compared to the guide portions provide for fuel flow out of the fuel inlet into the pump work chamber.
