Patent number: 9303606Abstract: The present invention refers to a fuel rail made of plastic material with a heating system (10,100). The said rail is applied, mainly, in the form of devices for aiding the cold start of engines which consume fuels whose specific vaporization heat is high, for example, alcohol. The fuel rail made of plastic material with a heating system presents reduced cost and weight and the same functional characteristics if compared to the fuel rails known by the state of the art, which are usually made of metal. Furthermore, the said fuel rail made of plastic material with a heating system presents internal compartments configured in such a manner that the sliders containing slide pins (51, 52, 53) of the injection mold can be easily removed, since there is no formation of negative faces.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch LimitadaInventors: Tulio Italico Moreira Coletto, Fernando Lepsch, Alvaro Augusto Vasconcelos
