Patent number: 10072623Abstract: A decoupling element, for decoupling a fuel injection valve from a cylinder head, includes a body that, in the mounted state, surrounds a housing of the fuel injection valve. The body is fashioned to include a cylinder-side support region to be supported on the cylinder head, and a valve-side support region for supporting the fuel injection valve. When the fuel injection valve is supported at the valve-side support region, the body is loaded with pressure. Only the cylinder-side support region of the body is fashioned in the shape of a closed ring, which connects segments of the body distributed around a circumference. The decoupling element enables the reduction of the transmission of noise from the fuel injection valve to the cylinder head.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Michael Mayer, Martin Scheffel, Martin Maier, Michael Knorpp, Pablo Antonio Napal Jimenez
