- the injection system 4 may further comprise a supply rail 42 of the internal combustion engine 2 in LPG.
- the injection rail 41 is mounted on a cylinder head 21 of the engine 2 and located between an injection pump, not shown, and injectors 22 mounted in the cylinder head 21.
- the injection rail 41 is supplied with fuel under high pressure by the pump and it is connected to the injectors 22 by pipes 23 or any other connecting means of similar function.
- the injection rail 41 has an elongated structure, in particular at least partially cylindrical or substantially cylindrical, and comprises at least one flat surface.
- said flat surface can be turned towards the outside of the engine, that is to say turned away from the cylinder head 21 and/or the injectors 22 in particular.
- flat surface is meant, for example, one side of the profile of the injection rail 41, as shown, or, according to an alternative not shown, a flat integrated in an injection rail 41 which may have a circular profile, oblong or elliptical.
- the injection rail can comprise a plurality of flat surfaces.
- the injection rail 41 extends along a main direction of extension 410, in this case substantially parallel to the axis Oz, and is centered on this same direction.
- the injection rail 41 is made of a metallic material, such as aluminum.

- the body 5 is configured to be mounted integral with cylinder head 21 of engine 2 via a plurality of fixing lugs 51 of said body 5.
- body 5 comprises at least two fixing lugs 51 .
- the body 5 is in particular configured to be arranged floating relative to the injection rail 41, that is to say that it extends at a non-zero distance from the injection rail 41 under normal conditions.
- the body 5 is fixed to the cylinder head 21 of the engine 2 at its fixing lugs 51 and at least one base 52 of the body 5 extends at a distance from the cylinder head 21, without direct contact with the latter.
- the protective device 3 comprises three fixing lugs 51 mounted at separate points on the cylinder head 21 .

- the attachment member 6 is connected to the body 5 and is configured to extend in engagement with the injection rail 41 in order to ensure permanent contact with the at least one flat surface thereof.
- “permanent contact” means at least one and the same point of contact between the attachment member 6 and the injection rail 41 existing at all times, even in the event of an impact.
- the attachment member 6, in combination with the body 5, thus maintains the injection rail in its normal or reference position. In this case, it advantageously prevents its movement relative to the injectors 22 of the engine 2 in a first direction, parallel to the axis of extension 220 of at least one of the injectors 22, and in at least a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction. In particular, the second direction is also orthogonal to the direction of extension of the injection rail 41.

- the attachment member 6, and by extension its connection with the injection rail 41, is thus protected from a direct impact.
- such a positioning contributes to limiting the size generated by the protection device 3.
- the attachment member 6 is arranged within the protection device 3 in order to extend in engagement with at least a part of an end portion of the injection rail 41. extremal", the portion of the injection rail 41 corresponding to 5 to 25%, in particular 10 to 20%, of a total length of the injection rail 41, such a length being defined along the main direction of extension 410 of the injection rail 41.
- the at least one flat surface may be included, at least in part, in the end portion of the injection rail 41, in particular in all or part of said end portion.
- such an end portion may be furthest from the injection pump. Indeed, it has been observed that the end portions of the injection rail 41 are liable to undergo more stresses, and by extension damage, than a central part of the latter.
- the attachment member 6 can advantageously be connected to one of the fixing lugs 51.
- the attachment member 6 can be connected to an inner face, facing the injection rail 41, of the fixing lug in question.
- the attachment member 6 can thus be partially offset relative to the fixing lug 51 carrying it, in particular along the third direction.
- the attachment member 6 can be connected to the base 52 or even to the base 52 and to at least one of the fixing lugs 51 .
- the attachment member 6, in particular its attachment part 61, extends in engagement with the injection rail 41.

- the attachment member 6 can be defined by a profile having an opening able to allow the passage of the injection rail 41 without affecting the maintenance of the injection rail 41 in position.
- the opening is inscribed in an angular sector m greater than or equal to 100°, in particular between 100 and 180°, or even between 100 and 150°.
- Such an angular sector m is defined relative to the main direction of extension 410 of the injection rail 41 and delimited by two half-lines originating at said direction and passing through points of the profile delimiting said opening.
- the hook profile of the attachment member 6 then falls within an angular sector complementary to the angular sector m which may be less than 260°, for example between 180 and 260°, or even between 180 and 230°.
- Such an arrangement makes it possible in particular, for the example of injection rail 41 illustrated, to ensure that the attachment member forms a stop, or extends in contact, with the injection rail on two opposite sides of the injection rail 41 or, in the case of a rail with a circular profile, two diametrically opposite points of said rail while allowing simple positioning of the attachment member 6 on the injection rail 41.

- the first segment 63 forms a stop for the injection rail 41, in particular on the first side 411 of the injection rail 41, in one direction of the second direction, while the second segment 64 forms a stop for the injection rail 41 , here on the second side 412 of the injection rail 41 , in a direction opposite to this same direction, each of said segments comprising points of contact with the injection rail 41 .
- the free end segment 66 is here configured to form an abutment for the injection rail 41 along the first direction and/or along the second direction.
- the intermediate segment 65 forms abutment of the injection rail 41 along a first direction of the first direction while the extreme segment 66 makes it possible to limit the movement of the latter in the opposite direction of this same direction.
- the extreme segment 66 participates in maintaining the injection rail 41 along the first direction.
- the end segment 66 thus has the function of securing the grip of the attachment member 6 on the injection rail 41, that is to say securing the permanent contact between the injection rail 41 and the attachment member 6. It ensures, in addition to the second segment 64, the maintenance of the injection rail 41 relative to the engine 2 when significant stresses are exerted on the protection device 3 in particular in order to contribute to the permanent contact between the injection rail 41 and the attachment device 6.
- the free end segment 66 of the attachment member 6 thus extends at least in part opposite the injection rail 41 and/or the injector along the second direction.

- the protection device makes it possible to provide protection against impacts of the fuel injection rail of an internal combustion engine and prevents its separation from the injectors by ensuring in the event of impact by ensuring, on the one hand, passive protection via the body of the device mounted on the cylinder head which extends floating relative to the injection rail, and on the other hand protection and active maintenance via the attachment member which engages the injection rail and ensures permanent contact with the injection rail in order to maintain the position of the latter relative to the engine and its injectors even in the event of an impact. Consequently, the invention thus prevents, at a lower cost, the risks of fuel leaks conventionally observed following an impact on the front of the vehicle.
