  • Patent number: 6386240
    Abstract: A plastic pipe based on polyolefins is provided, which pipe, compared with single-layer pipes of polyolefins, has improved barrier action against (petro)chemical materials, in particular against methanol-containing fuels. This is achieved by a multilayer plastic pipe which comprises the following layers: I. at least one layer based on a polyolefin, II. at least one layer based on a thermoplastic polyester, bonded via III. a layer between them of a suitable coupling agent which contains reactive groups, with adjacent layers being cohesively bonded to one another. The invention makes it possible to obtain plastic pipes having the desired improved property profile.

  • Patent number: 6170757
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve member that is displaceable axially outward counter to a restoring force in a bore of a valve body. On an end toward the combustion chamber, the valve member has a closing head. The closing head protrudes from the bore and forms a valve closing member and on a side toward the valve body has a valve sealing face. The valve closing member cooperates with a valve seat face, disposed on a face end toward the combustion chamber of the valve body. The valve closing member at least one injection opening on the closing head. The injection opening originating at a pressure chamber and outlet opening being covered, in the closing position of the valve member, by the valve body and being uncovered upon an outward-oriented opening stroke. A two-stage hydraulic stroke stop, which limits the opening stroke of the valve member and is embodied as a hydraulic damping chamber with a relief line that can be opened.
