Abstract
Abstract A liquid injector manifold and mounting arrangement wherein the fuel injector is supported in the engine at one end in a cylindrical bore with the aid of a circular seal. The injector extends from the engine and is supported at its other end by an extending fitting which tees off from a tubular common rail liquid fuel manifold. The tubular liquid fuel manifold is supported by brackets at a raised elevation. The connection between manifold fitting and fuel injector also employs a cylindrical surface and circular seal connection.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A fuel injector mounting arrangement for an engine comprising: a tubular common fuel rail for maintaining an available standby source of fuel; a rigid bracket member connected to said fuel rail and adapted to be fixedly attached to an engine to provide support at a location along the fuel rail; at least one fitting connected to said fuel rail a spaced distance from the location of support provided by said bracket member; and an injector valve assembly having connections at each end with said fitting and the engine to provide two-point support at spaced distances along the length of the injector valve, each said end connections having its respective interfitting cylindrical surfaces aligned along the longitudinal axis of the injector valve assembly and each end connection arranged to confine movement of the injector valve assembly in one direction while permitting slidable movement in the opposite direction along said axis.
