  • Patent number: 7331330
    Abstract: A device to suction fuel from a fuel injector and a device to attach a fuel return line to a fuel injector with a C-shaped main body partially encircling the fuel injector having two retaining arms which abut the fuel injector and grip it from the back at least to a small degree, with a connector coacting with a drain passage of the fuel injector and at least one connecting fitting for the fuel return line. The connecting fitting and the connector are fluidically connected. The free ends of the retaining arms have a first section in which they are angled towards each other and towards the base of the main body.

  • Publication number: 20070148010
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-channel peristaltic pump, wherein the housing is constituted by a dimensionally stable support frame (1) and a tube retainer (2) clipped thereto by means of a snap connection. A rotor (3) is provided with three rotatable delivery rolls (33a, 33b, 33c) and is mounted on the support frame (1). The tube retainer (2) is provided with a tube bed body (25) which defines on the inside a tube bed and at the end two legs (2a, 2b). Flexible tube sections (43) are received in the tube bed and can be squeezed by the delivery rolls (33a, 33b, 33c) to peristaltically deliver a medium. The two legs (2a, 2b) are resiliently elastic so that they can be radially clipped into the support frame (1). The tube bed body (25) has a substantially omega-shaped design and is provided with a continuous inlet and outlet area that ensures a peristaltic delivery of the respective medium with only few pulsations.

  • Publication number: 20070104599
    Abstract: The invention relates to a peristaltic pump in which a case is formed by a dimensionally stable supporting frame (1) and by a tube reception device (2) formed thereon by clipping. A rotor (3) provided with three rotatable transport rollers (33a, 33b, 33c). Said tube reception device (2) is provided with a tube bearing body (25) which forms a bed for the tubes on the internal surface and comprises two legs (2a, 2b) on the ends thereof. The tube flexible sections (43) are compresses by said transport rollers (33a, 33b, 33c) in order to ensure the peristaltic conveyance of a medium. The two legs (2a, 2b) are elastically deformable in a radial direction in order to be elastically adaptable on the supporting frame (1). The bearing body (25) is substentially omega-shaped and provided with uniform input and output areas which ensure a medium continuous low-pulsed peristaltic conveyance.

  • Patent number: 7214038
    Abstract: A hose cartridge for a peristaltic pump comprises a cartridge housing provided with a lateral recess. The recess is delimited at least partially by an element having essentially the shape of a segment of a circle. A roller wheel of the peristaltic pump can engage that recess once the cartridge is attached to the peristaltic pump. The cartridge housing is provided with two support arms, and a groove extends from one of the support arm along three outer side faces of the cartridge housing to the other support arm. The ends of the support arms are provided each with a hose take-up member for retaining stoppers attached to a hose section. Such a hose cartridge is of very compact design ensures an easy handling.
