  • the value of the air-gap between the inductor and the pallet accordingly becomes of considerable significance if the difference between a number of injectors must be as small as possible as is usually the case among other considerations, said value is a function of the parallel alignment of the planes which define the above-mentioned air-gap.
  • the aim of this invention is to overcome the disadvantages which arise from the defects outlined in the foregoing by virtue of a novel arrangement of the pallet and of the injector proper, the principal result of this arrangement being to achieve the requisite parallel alignment of the planes which define the air-gap.

  • Said wire ring 20 has two diagrammatically opposite and upwardly oriented loops 22 which are engaged between the lateral arms of the loops 18 of the springs 19.
  • the loops 22 of the ring 20 are intended on the one hand to limit the axial displacement of the locking-pin 17 and on the other hand to ensure the orientation of the pallet with respect to the stationary portion of the injector.
  • the transverse displacement of the pallet is limited by the clearance Z which is provided between the extremities of the loops 18 of the springs 19 and the corresponding opposite zones of the intermediate portion 15 of the pallet body 1 which is made lighter in weight by means of an axial bore 24.
  • the injector nozzle 25 is provided at the top portion thereof with an annular bearing surface 26 and two concentric ribs 27 and 28, the summits of which are located in the same plane as the bearing surface aforesaid.
  • the outer rib 27 serves to support the face 14 of the moving system when this latter is moved away from the inductor 12 by the restoring springs 19 and has two breaks in continuity 29 which permits propagation of the fuel supply pressure within the annular chamber 30 which is located between the ribs 27 and 28.
  • the crest of the inner rib 28 is flat and ensures leaktight closure when said rib is in contact with the flat face 14 of the valve 13 of the moving system.
  • a calibrated fuel-metering aperture 32 is located in the axis of the injector nozzle 25, extends from the top face of said nozzle and opens into a bore 33 which is formed in the extension 34 of the nozzle. Said bore serves as a housing for a calibrated valve unit which is generally designated. by the reference numeral 35.
  • a peripheral groove is formed on the periphery of the injector nozzle in order to accommodate a seal 36.
  • the calibrated valve unit 35 comprises a sleeve or cylindrical body 37 having two bores 38 and 39 of different diameter, said bores being separated by an annular bearing surface or shoulder 40 which serves to sup port one extremity of a helical restoring spring 41.
  • the bottom portion or outlet of the bore 39 terminates in a conical seat 42 which is intended to cooperate with the head 48 of the pintle 43 of the calibrated valve unit 35.
  • an annular groove for accommodating a seal 44 which ensures leak-tightness with the bore 33.
  • the pintle 43 consists of a cylindrical rod and is provided at the top with a groove 45 in which is fitted a retaining ring 46.
  • the lower end of said pintle has an enlarged cylindrical portion which slides within the bore 39 and on which areformed flat surfaces 47 for the flow of fuel.
  • the top portion of the pintle is also guided by a piston 49 which slides within the upper bore 38 of the cylindrical body 37.
  • said piston is provided with flat surfaces 50 for the flow of fuel and serves as a support for the upper extremity of the restoring spring 41.
  • Axial locking of the cylindrical body 37 within the bore 33 is ensured on the one hand by means of a spacer ring 51 and on the other hand by means of the inwardly bent extremity 53 of a sleeve 52 which is fitted over the extension 34 of the injection nozzle 25 and the side wall of which is swaged at 54 or deformed into a circular groove of the aforesaid extension 34.
  • valve unit which is designated by the reference numeral 60 in FIG. 6 terminates at the lower end in a conical head 61 which cooperates with a valve seat 62 formed in a cylindrical body 63 which is fitted within the bore 33.

  • the said body has two inclined planes 71 which form said support.
  • the return spring (41 or 64) is calibrated so that the pressure to exert within bore 33, Le, downstream of the calibrated aperture 32 is less than the fuel feed pressure upstream of the aperture 32.
  • this fuel feed pressure is wholly applied to said aperture.
  • rib 28 has a sufficient diameter so that the distance between its upper edge and the plane face of the pallet facing it forms a sufficient passage section to avoid loss of pressure.
  • the flow of fuel through the calibrated aperture 32 during the time of opening of the pallet opens the calibrated valve 35, the pressure upstream of the aperture being the feed pressure and the pressure downstream of the aperture being determined by the calibration of the return spring.
  • the displacement of needle 47 (or of valve member 60) permits the passage out of the injector of the fuel which has flowed through the aperture 32.
