  • Patent number: 7261246
    Abstract: A sealing element for a fuel injector insertable into a receiving bore of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine includes a sealing element surrounding a nozzle body of the fuel injector peripherally. The sealing element includes a base body having an axial recess through which the nozzle body extends. The base body also has an annular recess which communicates with the recess and into which the sealing element is introduced. At a first contact face, the base body is in at least indirect contact with an end face of the fuel injector, and at a second contact face opposite the first contact face, the base body is at least in indirect contact with a step of the receiving bore.

  • Patent number: 6618918
    Abstract: A dismantling device is provided for dismantling a fuel injector from a mounting bore in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. The dismantling device has a jacket body, which at least partially surrounds the fuel injector, and has an engagement section, which engages with the fuel injector via of a contact face projecting radially inward. The engagement section of the jacket body surrounds the fuel injector only over a maximum angle range of 180° between two free ends. The contact face tapers in the direction of free ends of the engagement section.

  • Patent number: 6598809
    Abstract: The fuel-injection valve has the feature that provision is made at the downstream end of the injection valve for a preparation attachment which is made of a gas-containing part and an insertion member. The downstream end of the injection valve with the preparation attachment is completely surrounded in the circumferential direction by a tubular, thin-walled, metallic gas-containing member. The gas-containing member is secured to the injection valve by a non-integral snap-fit, catch or clip connection to a plastic extrusion coating at least partially enveloping the valve housing. The corresponding connection elements are constructed in the form of projections and clips. The fuel-injection valve is particularly suited for injection into the intake passage of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition.

  • Patent number: 6363596
    Abstract: An installation/removal device is used to install and remove a fuel injector in/from a receiving bore hole of an internal-combustion-engine cylinder head. The installation/removal device includes a sheathing member having a tubular section and a contacting section, which acts on and/or contacts the fuel injector by a contact surface that extends radially inwardly. The contacting section, which can be formed by at least two elastic, contacting subsections separated from each other by cut-outs, is adjustable between an engaged position; in which a frictional connection to the fuel injector can be established, and a released position in which the installation/removal device can be removed from the fuel injector.

  • Patent number: 5826804
    Abstract: A device for the injection of a fuel/gas mixture is particularly simple and cost-effective for gas containment of fuel emerging from an injection valve. For this purpose, a treatment attachment is provided at the downstream end of the injection valve, the treatment attachment including at least a gas containment part and an insert body which are fixedly connected to one another. The treatment attachment is fixedly connected to the injection valve by means of a casing portion of the bowl-shaped gas containment part, while a bottom portion of the gas containment part has material of the insert body at least partially injection-molded around it. Inside the insert body extends an orifice which at least partially widens conically in the downstream direction and in which, for example, a jet divider is arranged. The device is particularly suitable for injection into the suction pipe of a mixture-compressing spark-ignition internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 5540387
    Abstract: A device has a jet divider with a convex divider surface facing the perforated spray disc. The convex jet divider acts as a flow resistance, thereby causing stagnation region flow. The stagnation-region flow is responsible for the fact that, despite the gas containing, separation of the jets is maintained even downstream of the jet divider (86) and for the good preparation effect of the gas containing by virtue of improved mixing of the gas and fuel. The device for injecting a fuel/gas mixture is suitable particularly for injection into the intake pipe of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition.

  • Patent number: 5520151
    Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines has a fuel distributor device with at least one pipe connector in whose receptacle an injection valve is inserted by its inflow-side, upstream end. A connecting element serves for fixing the injection valve in position axially on the pipe connector of the fuel distributor device and also for fixing it in the circumferential direction. The connecting element, which is constructed as a plastic clip, includes a disc-shaped, circular ring-shaped base element with an inner opening through which the inflow-side end of the injection valve runs in the installed state, the disc-shaped base body being positioned in a circumferential groove of the injection valve. The base element includes two legs which can be closed or opened by means of a locking connection.

  • Patent number: 5016594
    Abstract: A fuel distributor for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines having at least one fuel injection valve and at least one valve carrier which has a receiving bore for the fuel injection valve. The fuel injection valve includes an end flange surrounding the receiving bore on which flange the fuel injection valve is axially supported by means of a collar. The end flange of the valve carrier and the collar of the fuel injection valve are embodied as mutually corresponding parts of a bayonet mount, in order to provide positional fixation of the fuel injection valve independently of a plug hood to be mounted onto a protruding end of the fuel injection valve. The plug hood includes blocking tangs on an end face that form-fittingly engage recesses in the bayonet mount that serve the purpose of locking and unlocking the fuel injection valve.
