Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to fuel injection nozzles having a bored nozzle body terminating in a blind bore positioned in proximity to a plural series of fuel injection ports one series of which are in communication with a valve seat and arranged to be opened and closed by a slidable valve. The valve needle also includes an axial bore that provides for fuel pressure communication with the blind bore in the nozzle body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines comprising, in combination, a nozzle body having a blind bore, an axially displaceable, shaft-like valve needle radially guided in said nozzle body blind bore, means disposed adjacent the upper end of said valve needle for yieldingly urging said valve needle in a closing direction, the front face of said needle remote from said urging means together with the blind end of said nozzle body blind bore defining a pressure chamber, a pressure line extending within said nozzle body for supplying fuel to the nozzle, a connecting channel extending within the outer surface of said needle for connecting said pressure chamber with said pressure line, said connecting channel beginning in the portion of said needle guided within said blind bore, said pressure line being arranged to discharge fuel into said blind bore opposite the beginning of said connecting channel, said valve needle having the same diameter, representing the largest diameter, at least in the section located between said beginning of said connecting channel and said pressure chamber and a pressure-relieved annular chamber serving as a pressure barrier disposed within said valve needle section.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines comprising, in combination, a nozzle body having a blind bore, an axially displaceable, shaft-like valve needle radially guided in said nozzle body blind bore, means disposed adjacent the upper end of said valve needle for yieldingly urging said valve needle in a closing direction, the front face of said needle remote from said urging means together with the blind end of said nozzle body blind bore defining a pressure chamber, a pressure line extending within said nozzle body for supplying fuel to the nozzle, a connecting channel extending within the outer surface of said needle for connecting said pressure chamber with said pressure line, said connecting channel beginning in the portion of said needle guided within said blind bore, said pressure line being arranged to discharge fuel into said blind bore opposite the beginning of said connecting channel, said valve needle having the same diameter, representing the largest diameter, at least in the section located between said beginning of said connecting channel and said pressure chamber and a pressure-relieved annular chamber serving as a pressure barrier disposed within said valve needle section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A fuel injection nozzle in accordance with claim 1, including a conical valve seat disposed in said nozzle body between said blind bore and said blind end of said blind bore, said valve needle having a sealing cone which cooperates with said valve seat.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A fuel injection nozzle in accordance with claim 2, including at least one injection port disposed within said nozzle body, said at least one injection port having one end opening into said valve seat.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A fuel injection nozzle in accordance with claim 3, wherein said valve seat and said sealing cone have a slightly different slope, said valve seat and said sealing cone defining a linear seat extending between said blind end of said blind bore and said at least one injection port.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
A fuel injection nozzle in accordance with claim 3, including at least one injection port having one opening in the wall of said blind bore, and wherein said valve needle controls with its shaft said at least one injection port in accordance with the stroke of said valve needle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A fuel injection nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein said urging means includes a plurality of springs, said plurality of springs being arranged to urge said valve needle in a closing direction in series.
