Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection nozzle assembly for use in an externally ignited internal combustion engine of the air/fuel mixture-compressing type and with fuel injection into a tube through which air is suctioned into the engine, comprising a fuel injection nozzle and heat-insulating means surrounding a part of the nozzle is described. The heat-insulating means surround especially the nozzle part to be inserted into a bore in the wall of the air intake tube. Preferably, the heat-insulating means is a sleeve member made of heat-insulating rubber. The assembly is such that the fuel injection nozzle can be readily removed from the air intake tube. Moreover, both the fuel injection nozzle and the sleeve member can be assembled as a unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A fuel injection nozzle assembly for use in an externally ignited internal combustion engine, comprising: (a) a fuel injection nozzle having an elongated body portion in the outer surface of which there is formed a recess; (b) a flanged sleeve having a surface defining a bore into which the nozzle body is received, said surface including a protrusion which is received within said recess in a form-fitting manner for retaining the nozzle in engagement with the sleeve; and (c) fastening means engageable with the flange of said sleeve for mounting the sleeve and nozzle to the engine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A fuel injection nozzle assembly for use in an externally ignited internal combustion engine, comprising: (a) a fuel injection nozzle having an elongated body portion in the outer surface of which there is formed a recess; (b) a flanged sleeve having a surface defining a bore into which the nozzle body is received, said surface including a protrusion which is received within said recess in a form-fitting manner for retaining the nozzle in engagement with the sleeve; and (c) fastening means engageable with the flange of said sleeve for mounting the sleeve and nozzle to the engine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The fuel injection nozzle assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein the recess and protrusion have an annular extent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The fuel injection nozzle assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein the engaging surfaces of the recess and protrusion are such that the nozzle is readily removable from the sleeve.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
151 words
A fuel injection nozzle-and-suction tube assembly for use in an externally ignited internal combustion engine of the air/fuel mixture-compressing type with fuel injection into an air intake duct of the engine, comprising, in combination: (a) a suction tube having a radial bore through the wall thereof, the rim of said bore at the outside of said tube being chamfered; (b) an injection nozzle having a portion thereof inserted into said bore; (c) a sleeve member interposed between the outer surface of said inserted nozzle portion and the inner wall of said bore for sealing off said bore and supporting said injection nozzle within said bore, the sleeve member being provided with a frusto-conical face whose angle with the sleeve axis corresponds to that of said chamfered rim relative to the axis of said bore; and (d) means for pressing said frusto-conical face of said sleeve member sealingly against said chamfered rim.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
151 words
A fuel injection nozzle-and-suction tube assembly for use in an externally ignited internal combustion engine of the air/fuel mixture-compressing type with fuel injection into an air intake duct of the engine, comprising, in combination: (a) a suction tube having a radial bore through the wall thereof, the rim of said bore at the outside of said tube being chamfered; (b) an injection nozzle having a portion thereof inserted into said bore; (c) a sleeve member interposed between the outer surface of said inserted nozzle portion and the inner wall of said bore for sealing off said bore and supporting said injection nozzle within said bore, the sleeve member being provided with a frusto-conical face whose angle with the sleeve axis corresponds to that of said chamfered rim relative to the axis of said bore; and (d) means for pressing said frusto-conical face of said sleeve member sealingly against said chamfered rim.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
70 words
A fuel injection nozzle and mounting sleeve therefor in which the nozzle includes an elongated body portion in the outer surface of which there is formed a recess and the mounting sleeve includes a surface defining a bore into which the nozzle body is received, said surface having a protrusion which is received within said recess in a form-fitting manner for retaining the nozzle in engagement with the mounting sleeve.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
70 words
A fuel injection nozzle and mounting sleeve therefor in which the nozzle includes an elongated body portion in the outer surface of which there is formed a recess and the mounting sleeve includes a surface defining a bore into which the nozzle body is received, said surface having a protrusion which is received within said recess in a form-fitting manner for retaining the nozzle in engagement with the mounting sleeve.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The fuel injection nozzle and mounting sleeve as defined in claim 5, wherein the recess and protrusion have an annular extent.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
The fuel injection nozzle and mounting sleeve as defined in claim 5, wherein the engaging surface of the recess and protrusion are such that the nozzle is readily removable from the mounting sleeve.
