Patents by Inventor Tjeerd Sijtse IJsselstein

Tjeerd Sijtse IJsselstein has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10781779
    Abstract: An improved fuel injection device for internal combustion engines comprising a slidable (pilot) valve instead of a needle valve principle. The valve does not comprise a seat, so, even in the case of a spring-loaded embodiment of the valve there is no risk of hammering of the valve on a seat with the pertaining generation of noise. The improved fuel injector allows a larger nozzle diameter and, therefore, a larger number of nozzle holes, if required or deemed useful. For rotating embodiments of the fuel injector, the valve or at least its spring, in the case of a spring-loaded embodiment of the valve, can be located in the static section of the rotating fuel injector, thus eliminating the balancing problem of prior art rotating fuel injectors which comprise a spring in the rotating section.

  • Publication number: 20160040641
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device for the injecting of fuel into a combustion chamber, wherein the injection device comprises; a housing which is rigidly connected to the combustion chamber, an injection part which is rotatably connected to the housing and which is drivable by means of an actuator in order to rotate with respect to the housing about a central axis, a supply conduit which is fluidically connected to the combustion chamber for the pressurized introduction of a fuel into the combustion chamber and which comprises a fluid-tight coupling between the housing and the injection part; an injection nozzle which is rigidly connected to the injection part and which comprises an atomizer having an atomizer opening which is fluidically connected to the supply conduit for the introduction of fuel into the combustion chamber, whereas the injection nozzle rotates, the injection device further comprising at least one further supply conduit for the pressurized introduction of a fluid into the combust
