  • Patent number: 8505515
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine with a fuel injection system is provided. The injection system includes a source of pressurized fuel positioned outside an oil-wetted space of an engine and a fuel injector positioned within the space. An engine component that is a part of an engine system other than the fuel injection system is attached to the engine outside the oil-wetted space by a fastener. The fastener is provided with an internal passage forming part of a hydraulic communication between the source of pressurized fuel and the injector.

  • Patent number: 7452009
    Abstract: A coupling for connecting an elastic hose to a rigid tube connection is provided, which tube connection has a peripheral, rigid rim, at least one rigid supporting member with a radially inward facing annular supporting surface being arranged so as to offer support to the hose end at the tube connection, in which the coupling includes an inner ring having two end portions, the inner ring being arranged so as, in a mounting state, to have its end portions mutually overlapping and lending the inner ring a smaller diameter than the hose and, in a mounted state inside the hose, directly opposite the inward facing supporting surface, to be expanded by the pressing-together of its end portions, end to end, to maintain a chosen larger diameter in order, within the hose, to clamp the hose end between the inner ring and the inward facing supporting surface, and in which the cross section of the inner ring is shaped with an arcuate portion and the supporting surface in the supporting member is correspondingly arched.

  • Patent number: 5315974
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine with compressor function comprising, in addition to intake and exhaust valves for each cylinder, an extra exhaust valve in at least one cylinder, which extra exhaust valve, in its open position, puts the cylinder chamber in communication with valve means containing an exhaust duct and disposed to permit exhausting of intake air to a pneumatic system but prevent intake of air to the cylinder chamber via said exhaust duct.

  • Patent number: 5310224
    Abstract: Hose coupling component, especially for a hose connection between a turbo charger and an air cooler in an internal combustion engine, comprises a pipe sleeve (12) of pressed sheet metal, which has a peripheral flange (16) to be fixed by means of a V-shaped clamp to a corresponding mirror image flange on a complementary coupling component. The sleeve has a groove (18) for a gasket in the flange and has a circumferential depression (15) for indexing a hose (1) forced onto the coupling component.

  • Patent number: 5000137
    Abstract: The invention concerns a push rod for combustion engines and a method of manufacturing said push rod. The push rod comprises a tubular intermediate member, a push rod seat element one end of which acts on a rocker arm positioned adjacent the cylinder valve and the opposite end of which is mounted on one end of the intermediate member, and a push rod end element one end of which abuts against a valve lifter positioned adjacent the camshaft and the opposite end of which is mounted on the opposite end of the intermediate member. The intermediate member is also provided with longitudinal slits positioned at the two end portions of the member, allowing the push rod seat element and the push rod end element to be mounted onto the intermediate member by being forced onto their respective end portion thereof.
