Abstract: A guide stud (10, 110) for quick insertion and withdrawal from a tapped hole includes a shaft (12), a pin (14) concentrically disposed with respect to the shaft, and a spring (52) configured to apply force on the shaft to reciprocate the pin with respect to the shaft in an extended and a retracted position. A resilient gripper (58, 158) extends axially with respect to the shaft (12), the gripper having an outer surface (66, 166) having a rest-state diameter (D) and a deformed-state diameter (DD) that is larger than the rest-state diameter. The outer surface (66, 166) is deformable to the deformed-state diameter (DD) when the pin (14) is in the retracted position.

Abstract: The present invention describes a deflector clip (200) for a fuel injector (100) in an internal combustion engine. The deflector clip (200) has a clip portion (205) and a deflector portion (210). The clip portion (205) has a fixed arm (270) and an adjustable arm (265), which form a slot (275) for mounting the deflector clip (200) onto the fuel injector. The deflector portion (205) deflects the hydraulic fluid draining from the fuel injector. The deflector clip (200) is design to fit any fuel injector having a tolerance within the minimum and maximum tolerances for a fuel injector. In an alternate embodiment, several deflector clips (200) are arranged in a deflector clip assembly (400, 500) having a wiring harness (402, 502) for the fuel injection system.
