  • Publication number: 20090235899
    Abstract: A coupling arrangement has a fuel injector cup with a central longitudinal axis coupled to a fuel rail at a first axial end area and to a ring element at a second axial end area by a circlip. The cup has at least two slots arranged at the second end area and at least two grooves arranged at least partly circumferentially the cup and axially overlapping with the slots. The ring element is arranged at the central longitudinal axis facing the second end area and coupled to a housing. The ring element has at least two protrusions facing the cup having at least two grooves arranged at least partly circumferentially the ring element in a common plane with the grooves. The circlip is arranged at least partly circumferentially the cup at least partly in the grooves and arranged at least partly circumferentially the ring element at least partly in the grooves.

  • Publication number: 20090229575
    Abstract: Coupling device (50) for hydraulically and mechanically coupling a fuel injector (20) to a fuel rail (14) of a combustion engine (22), the fuel injector (20) having a central longitudinal axis (L), the coupling device (50) having a fuel injector cup (30) being designed to be hydraulically coupled to the fuel rail (14) and to engage a fuel inlet portion (24) of the fuel injector (20), a first ring element (36) being fixedly coupled to the fuel injector cup (30), and a second ring element (38) being fixedly coupled to the fuel injector (20) and being fixedly coupled to the first ring element (36) to retain the fuel injector (20) in the fuel injector cup (30) in direction of the central longitudinal axis (L).

  • Publication number: 20090229576
    Abstract: Coupling device for hydraulically and mechanically coupling a fuel injector to a combustion engine fuel rail, having a fuel injector cup with a central longitudinal axis hydraulically coupled to the rail and engaging a fuel inlet portion of the injector, a first ring element fixedly coupled to the cup, and a second ring element fixedly coupled to the injector. One of the ring elements has a collar arranged radially outside the other elements and extending from the one element in direction of the longitudinal axis. The collar has a recess facing the central longitudinal axis. A circlip is arranged in the recess and arranged and designed to form a positive fitting coupling between the first and second ring elements. The circlip prevents a movement of the first ring element relative to the second element retaining the fuel injector in the fuel injector cup in direction of the central longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20090184512
    Abstract: Coupling arrangement (12) with a housing (6), at least one locking element (14) designed to at least partly surround the housing (6) forming a first area of contact (18) with the housing (6) via positive locking or frictional connection to limit rotational movement of the housing (6), and a connecting element (16). The connecting element (16) arranged at least partly circumferentially the housing (6) and being cylindrical having a center axis (X) has at least one locking recess (20) designed to at least partly take in the respective locking element (14) to limit rotational movement of the connecting element (16) via positive locking. The housing (6), the locking element (14) and the connecting element (16) are designed and arranged such as to limit movement of the housing (6) relative to the connecting element (16) at least in one direction of the center axis (X).
