  • Patent number: 6874704
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines having a valve body in which a bore is embodied, a valve seat face, at least one injection opening embodied on the end toward the combustion chamber of the bore, and at least one injection opening connecting the bore with the combustion chamber of the engine. A nozzle needle is longitudinally displaceably guided in the bore and on its end toward the combustion chamber it has a sealing face, which cooperates with the valve seat face and thus controls the at least one injection opening. The nozzle needle has a central longitudinal bore, in which an inner needle is disposed that is fixed immovably relative to the valve body. The nozzle needle is guided over at least part of its length on the inner needle, so that the nozzle needle is kept exactly centrally in the bore at all times.

  • Publication number: 20030155441
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve body (3) in which a bore (7) is embodied. A valve seat face (10) and at least one injection opening (9) are embodied on the end toward the combustion chamber of the bore (7), and at least one injection opening (9) connects the bore (7) with the combustion chamber of the engine. A nozzle needle (12) is longitudinally displaceably guided in the bore (7) and on its end toward the combustion chamber it has a sealing face (217), which cooperates with the valve seat face (10) and thus controls the at least one injection opening (9). The nozzle needle (12) has a central longitudinal bore (19), in which an inner needle (14) is disposed that is fixed immovably relative to the valve body (3). The nozzle needle (12) is guided over at least part of its length on the inner needle (14), so that the nozzle needle (12) is kept exactly centrally in the bore (7) at all times (FIG. 1).

  • Publication number: 20020104901
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve, having a valve body (1) which is axially braced against a valve holding body (3) and in which a bore (5) is embodied that is closed on the end toward the combustion chamber and there has a valve seat (32) and at least one injection opening (34). Disposed in the bore (5) is a pistonlike valve member (10), which is guided in the bore (5) by a first radially widened portion (110) and a second radially widened portion (210). The valve member (10) surrounds a pressure chamber (23), which can be filled with fuel and which continues, toward the valve seat (32), in the form of an annular conduit surrounding the valve member (10). Remote from the combustion chamber, toward the valve member (10), a valve piston (12) is disposed in the bore (5) and seals off the pressure chamber (23) and contacts the valve member (10).

  • Patent number: 4776383
    Abstract: Juxtaposed nozzle openings apply the same or different melts to the surface of a moving cooler surface for producing thin metal strips or foils with a considerable width. The nozzle openings can be staggered in the direction of movement of the cooler surface and apply different materials to produce a metal strip with juxtaposed and sharply defined regions with different characteristics. Amorphous or mixed amorphous/crystalline, or solely crystalline material structures can also be produced. Alternatively, different cooling capacities on different cooler surface areas and different structuring of different cooler surface areas permit the melt to solidify on the cooler surface such that the strips or foils obtained have adjacent regions with different metallic and/or geometrical structures. By geometrical configuration of the cooler surface, foils with a structured surface or with shape-limited individual regions can be used for mass production of small parts from sheet or strip material.

  • Patent number: 4343537
    Abstract: An electro-optical cell, more particularly for display purposes, which comprises a working electrode having an intercalatable layer structure, especially graphite, a counter-electrode, an ion conductor disposed between the two electrodes and, if desired, a reference electrode. On application of an electric voltage, ions from the ion conductor are inserted into the layer structure, whereby or visible, optical change on the surface of the electrode is effected.
