  • Patent number: 6463658
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a jet diffusor for a shower head or the like, which jet diffusor is manufactured by two parts, a hole washer (13) of a hard plastic material and a nozzle washer (14) of an elastic rubber or plastic material. The nozzle washer (14) is manufactured, preferably by injection moulding, with a plain bottom disk (21) and with socket shaped nozzles (22) substantially perpendicularly arranged in relation to this, and raised from the bottom disk socket shaped nozzles (22). The hole washer (13) is manufactured, preferably by injection moulding, with at least one arched underside (15) and with the holes (16) arranged in diverging directions. The nozzle washer is brought to contact with the arched underside of the hole washer, so that the socket shaped nozzles are pressed into and partially through the holes, whereby the nozzles are subjected to a directional change according to the holes in the hole washer.

  • Patent number: 6349885
    Abstract: A fuel injector nozzle includes a nozzle body and a poppet disposed in the body for reciprocating movement. The body has an internal bore surrounding the poppet. The internal bore tapers in a constant angle of taper from a front seating region to a fuel reservoir region. The poppet has a corresponding surface which diverges slightly from the bore. The surfaces of the bore and poppet form flow control surfaces which terminate in a sharp-edged orifice at the front face of the nozzle. When the poppet is displaced to an open or flow position, fuel is accelerated to the orifice and atomized into a combustion chamber. The poppet surface being formed so as to properly direct fuel after the poppet surface is machined.

  • Patent number: 6256884
    Abstract: A method for producing a nozzle having a projecting tip part, including the steps of disposing a ceramic green sheet between a first die and a stripper containing a first punch, moving the first punch through a first surface of the ceramic green sheet to form a hole therethrough, inverting the ceramic green sheet, disposing the inverted ceramic green sheet between a second die and a stripper containing a second punch, the second die having a cavity in the shape of a negative configuration of the projecting tip part, moving the second punch through the hole formed in the ceramic green sheet to force a portion of the ceramic green sheet into the cavity of the second die and form the projecting tip part, and baking the ceramic green sheet to form the nozzle.

  • Patent number: 6257496
    Abstract: A fuel injector with a body having an inlet portion, an outlet portion, and a fuel passageway extending from the inlet portion to the outlet portion along a longitudinal axis. An armature proximate the inlet portion of the body. A needle operatively connected to the armature. A seat is located proximate the outlet portion of the body. The seat includes a first surface, a second surface, a seat passage extending between the first surface and the second surface in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and a swirl generator formed in the first surface that communicates with the passage. A flat disk, which is located proximate the first surface, includes an aperture that guides the needle and at least one opening that communicates with the swirl generator of the seat. The flat disk combined with the seat provide a seat, swirl generator, and needle guide combination.
