Patent number: 6938839Abstract: A fuel injector includes a valve body and a valve seat positioned at a lower end of the valve body. A needle assembly is positioned within an inner bore of the valve body, the needle assembly including a needle body and an armature connected to an upper end of the needle body. A pair of guides are integrally formed with the valve body for guiding the needle assembly. The pair of guides includes an upper guide and a lower guide; the upper guide guiding the armature and the lower guide guiding the needle body.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2002Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Min Xu, David Lee Porter

Patent number: 6644568Abstract: A top-feed electronic fuel injector for an internal combustion engine includes an injector body having a valve seat disposed opposite a generally cylindrical bore of nominal inner diameter defined within the injector body. A needle valve moves within the passage between a closed position against the valve seat, as urged by a coil spring disposed within the bore, and an open position away from the valve seat. The coil spring is seated against an end face a spring adjustment tube that is pressed into the bore. The spring adjustment tube, which is formed of rolled sheet stock to provide a “spiral-wound” configuration featuring at least 1.5 turns, end-to-end, when the spring adjustment tube is viewed in a transverse section, resiliently presses against the walls of the bore to maintain its position and, hence, calibrate the spring force applied to the needle valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2002Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventor: David Lee Porter

Patent number: 6488598Abstract: The invention includes a concave cup specifically designed to hold various size basketballs. The cup has a stem which inserts and is held securely in a precision bearing, which in turn is held firmly in the splined finger gripping portion of the invention. The splined finger gripping portion of the device is held securely on the finger of a person, by an o-ring. The o-ring rolls up and down on the splined portion and is prevented from rolling off by the molded protrusions at the bottom of the splined finger gripping portion of the invention. The splines are tapered to allow for expansion and contraction to fit various finger sizes.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2001Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Inventor: David Lee Porter
