Patent number: 10366852Abstract: A power relay for a vehicle is disclosed. The power relay has a housing formed by a connector base and a housing can set thereon, two connection bolts being inserted into the connector base for contacting a load circuit. The power relay further has a coil subassembly arranged in the housing and containing a solenoid coil and an armature. The armature is coupled by a force-transmission member to a contact bridge and can shift in the housing, under the effect of a magnetic field generated by the solenoid coil, in such a way that the contact bridge can be reversibly moved between a closing position, in which the contact bridge bridges the connection bolts in an electro conducting manner, and an opening position, in which the contact bridge is not in contact with the connection bolts. The housing can is configured as an injection-molded component made of plastic.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Ellenberger & Poensgen GmbHInventors: Markus Birner, Manuel Engewald, Ricardo Pimenta, Helmut Kraus, Wolfgang Weiss, Matthias Schwarz, Sebastian Rothmayr, Thomas Singer

Patent number: 8544770Abstract: A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine comprising a nozzle body having at least one spray hole. The at least one spray hole has a hole entry on the inside of the nozzle body and a hole exit on the outside of the nozzle body. The spray hole is provided with a hole entry section which, starting from the hole entry, has a flow area which decreases from a relatively larger flow area at the hole entry to a relatively small flow area at the intersection between the end of the hole entry section and the start of a hole exit section. The hole exit section, starting from the intersection with the hole entry section, has a flow area which increases from a relatively small flow area at the intersection with the hole entry section to a relatively larger flow area at the hole exit.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignees: Delphi Technologies, Holding S.arlInventors: Andrew J.

Patent number: 7971802Abstract: A fuel injector comprising a nozzle having a nozzle needle which is moveable with respect to a first needle seat to control fuel delivery through a nozzle outlet. The injector includes a nozzle control valve for controlling fuel flow into a control chamber through a first passage to pressurise the control chamber, and for controlling fuel flow out of said control chamber through said first passage to depressurise the control chamber. Movement of the nozzle needle is controlled by fuel pressure within the control chamber, such that pressurising the control chamber causes the nozzle needle to be urged against the first needle seat to close the nozzle outlet, and depressurising the control chamber causes the nozzle needle to lift from the first needle seat to open the nozzle outlet. The nozzle needle defines, at least in part, a restricted passage through which fuel can flow into the control chamber as the control chamber depressurises.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Delphi Technologies Holding S.arlInventors: Andy Male, Jonathan N Wray, Anthony Thomas Harcombe, Ricardo Pimenta, Malcolm David Dick Lambert, Andrew J Limmer
