  • Publication number: 20070089384
    Abstract: A particle filter for exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, including a housing containing a filter body including a plurality of filter walls extending substantially in the radial and longitudinal direction and spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction. The filter walls are welded at their face ends to at least one securing element by way of which the filter body is secured in the housing. The securing element has compensation means which act between the filter walls and the housing and compensate for relative motions between the filter walls and the housing. As a result, thermally caused motions of the filter walls can be compensated for, and stress in the region of the securing element can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20030056760
    Abstract: A high-pressure fuel accumulator for a common-rail fuel injection system for internal combustion engines is provided, which includes a base body made of a base material having at least one connecting piece. In this context, the base body includes a longitudinal bore forming an interior chamber, and the at least one connecting piece includes at least one transverse bore opening out into the longitudinal bore. The interior chamber of base body includes a high-strength filler material in the region of the at least one transverse bore.

  • Patent number: 6470855
    Abstract: A high-pressure fuel reservoir is proposed in which the hydraulic connection between the connection fitting and the reservoir chamber is produced by a number of connecting bores. This reduces the stress peaks in the vicinity of the intersections of the connecting bore and reservoir chamber so that the compression capacity of the high-pressure fuel reservoir increases.

  • Patent number: 6427665
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure fuel reservoir for a common-rail fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, having a tubular base body, which has a substantially circular-cylindrical interior disposed centrally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tubular base body, which interior communicates with a plurality of connection openings. To enhance the high-pressure strength by simple provisions, the cross section of the tubular base body, in the portions in which the connection openings are disposed, is embodied in weakened form.

  • Patent number: 5275140
    Abstract: A speed governor for fuel injection pumps of internal combustion engines in which part of an oscillation damper member, in the form of a capsule, is disposed between a drive shaft and a flyweight adjuster; two claws of a support that receives the flyweights of the centrifugal adjuster and two claws of a coupling element connected to the drive shaft. The two claws are connected to one another by way of a segmented type buffer element, all of which protrude into the capsule. The claws of the coupling element protrude into the open part of the capsule, while the claws of the support protrude into the capsule through openings in the capsule bottom. For the sake of greater strength of the capsule, the openings are embodied in closed form according to the invention.
