  • Patent number: 10767613
    Abstract: A fuel injector includes a nozzle body configured to be inserted into a fuel injector receiving bore of the internal combustion engine along a nozzle body axis; a valve housing held in fixed relationship to the nozzle body; and a first locating pin and a second locating pin each extending from the valve housing. The first locating pin extends from a first locating pin fixed end which is fixed to the valve housing to a first locating pin free end. The second locating pin extends from a second locating pin fixed end which is fixed to the valve housing to a second locating pin free end. The first locating pin and the second locating pin elastically deform when inserted into the bore, thereby preventing rotational movement of the fuel injector about the nozzle body axis.

  • Publication number: 20040134543
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a tank, in particular a vehicle fuel tank, having a component (20) mounted therein. Such a tank comprises a tank wall (12) and a shaft (14) having a first end (18) and a second end (21). A base portion (16) is arranged on the first end (18) of the shaft (14), the base portion (16) comprising a weld area (22) on its surface facing the tank wall (12) and weld material (24) is arranged in the weld area (22) for welding the shaft (14) to the tank wall (12). A component (20) is mounted on the second end (21) of the shaft (14). According to an important aspect of the invention, the base portion (16) is wider than the weld area (22), and a circumferential area (26) of the base portion (16) is configured so as to, when mounted to the tank wall (12), at least partially rest on the tank wall (12).
