Abstract: A fuel delivery unit of a motor vehicle comprises a prefilter arranged inside a swirl pot, said prefilter having a filter element, and at least one connection piece for connecting a supplementary filter element. The at least one connection piece, in its initial condition, is closed, and is opened when the supplementary filter element is attached. The invention allows the fuel delivery unit to be adapted to projected filter surfaces of the prefilter.

Abstract: In the thermal cutting of a workpiece by means of a laser beam, said beam is generated by means of a laser source and supplied to a movable laser head. In the laser head, an optical deflection element is provided for deflecting the laser beam such that, when viewed in working direction, it encloses a tilt angle (?) differing from 0 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the laser head. Starting therefrom, to produce the inclination of the collimated laser beam to the vertical with a very small number of optical components if possible, the invention suggests that the laser beam is supplied to the laser head by means of an optical fiber and the laser beam is collimated, passes through the deflection element laterally offset to the longitudinal axis of the laser head and is deflected by means of said element onto the workpiece surface and focused at the same time.

Abstract: A device for collecting fuel in a fuel tank of a motor vehicle having a prefilter arranged inside a swirl pot. The prefilter has a section rising from a horizontal plane and a section lying in the horizontal plane. The sections of the prefilter are produced as one piece and are connected to the swirl pot. The prefilter has an especially large surface.

Abstract: A fuel delivery unit for a motor vehicle, wherein a swirl pot has a base formed from an upper part and a lower part, and an outer wall connected to the base, forming a seal. The upper part and the lower part bound fuel-delivering regions of a suction jet pump and of a section of a feed line. This arrangement allows the fuel delivery unit to be produced at particularly low cost.

Abstract: A pressure regulator for a fuel supply unit on a motor vehicle. A membrane is connected to an annular element of a housing and a moving piston by a laser welding technique. A reliable sealing of the membrane is thus guaranteed even at temperatures below 0° C. The region above the piston is thus reliably separated from the region below the piston.

Abstract: A delivery unit for delivering fuel in a fuel tank comprises a prefilter and swirl pot which are produced as one piece. The prefilter is produced during die-casting of the swirl pot. The invention allows the delivery unit to be produced in an especially inexpensive manner.

Abstract: A feed unit for feeding fuel has a housing formed integrally with the casing of a swirl pot, the housing comprising a fine filter. The fine filter is configured open toward one side and is closed by a cover. The cover is formed integrally with a base plate sealing the casing of the swirl pot. As a result, the feed unit has a particularly low number of components to be assembled and can be produced in a particularly cost-effective way.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure regulator for a fuel supply unit of a motor vehicle comprising a valve for joining a connection to an outlet above a designated pressure in the connection, a valve body and a valve seat, and a spring element for prestressing the valve body against the valve seat, characterized in that the valve body is designed as a sheet-metal part.

Abstract: A fluid line for transporting fuel from a pump pre-filter to a fuel pump, which damps the noises of the fuel pump and a fuel delivery unit that is equipped with said fluid line Damping is achieved by at least one damping region, which is situated opposite the intake opening and which damps vibrations originating from the fuel pump.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure regulator for a fuel supply unit of a motor vehicle and method for production of a pressure regulator. The pressure regulator comprises a valve for producing a joining of a connection to an outlet above a designated pressure in the connection, a movable piston and a membrane, which is held on a fixed annular element, for sealing the piston in relation to the annular element, characterized in that the membrane is welded to the annular element.

Abstract: A feed unit has a surge chamber 1, a fuel pump 2, which is arranged in the surge chamber 1, and a pump holder 3, the fuel pump 2 being arranged in the pump holder 3 and the pump holder 3 being fastened in the surge chamber 1. The pump holder 3 has at least two rods 6 which are fastened in the surge chamber 1, the rods 6 being connected to a mount 5 for the fuel pump 2.

Abstract: In a feed unit for feeding fuel from a fuel container of a motor vehicle a surge part (1) has a base plate (9) and an adjoining tubular section (10). The base plate (9) is fabricated in one piece with a nozzle (15) and a mixer pipe (16) of a suction jet pump (8) and has receptacles (21, 13) for a fine filter (3) and for supporting rods (22) of a fuel pump (2). The feed unit is of particularly simple design as a result of this and can be fabricated in a cost-effective way.
