Abstract: Conventional devices have a valve needle and a shape memory element which, by the application of a controllable magnetic field, executes a control stroke travel that operates the actuator, and having a coil that excites the magnetic field which is situated in a magnet housing which, at its end face, is bordered with respect to an actuating axis by a front wall in each case, the front walls having a through opening radially within the coil. It is a disadvantage that the magnetic field excited around the coil is conducted unfavorably, so that at most a slight magnetic field develops in the shape memory element. The shape memory element has a magnetic field flowing through it, in the direction of its longitudinal extension, if at all. Since the shape memory element has a high magnetic resistance and is developed to be very long in the axial direction, only a very weak magnetic field can be induced in the shape memory element.

Abstract: A mounting device for attaching a fuel injector both to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and to a fuel distribution line, includes two spring tongues which are insertable into a holding groove of the fuel injector or the fuel distribution line. A distance between the tips of the spring tongues is smaller than the largest diameter of the opening surface enclosed by them, and the spring tongues are radially elastically displaced with respect to an axis of the fuel injector. At least two spring elements, elastically displaced in the axial direction with respect to the spring tongues by either tensile or compressive forces, are formed and are axially non-positively, detachably connectable to the opposite fuel injector or the fuel distribution line via a catch connection.

The outlet opening has an intake plane, whose central point lies on the valve longitudinal axis, whose central axis, however, runs diagonally with respect to valve longitudinal axis. A disk-shaped swirl element is arranged upstream of the valve seat element. The swirl element has swirl channels, which are distributed over the periphery, the swirl channels having varying geometries or dimensions.
