Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection jet for combustion engines has an injection head and a spring biased jet needle adapted to reciprocate towards and away from a conical needle valve seat provided by the injection head. Jet bores are provided in the injection head in at least two planes and are released in sequence upon reciprocation of the jet needle with increased fuel pressure. At least one jet bore emanates from the conical needle seat in order that it may be completely released even after slightest lifting of the jet needle to be fully admitted with fuel for atomization during injection. For the fuel supply exceeding the requirement beyond the idling and lower partial load range, the jet needle may be provided with a pin which is guided in a pocket bore of the injection head. This pocket bore is rearwardly of the needle seat and one or more jet bores adapted to be covered by the pin communicate therewith and are adapted to be closed when the pin is in the bore. With increased output requirements and consequently fuel pressure the bores covered by the pin are released. A channel network may be incorporated to interconnect the fuel supply channel and the jet bores.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A fuel injection jet for combustion engines having an injection head and a spring biased jet needle which lifts from a conical needle valve seat provided by the injection head due to fuel pressure acting against the spring bias, and wherein jet bores are provided in the injection head in at least two planes and are released in sequence upon reciprocation of the jet needle with increased fuel pressure, the improvement of at least one jet bore emanating from the conical needle seat, the jet needle being provided with a cylindrical pin which is guided in a pocket bore of the injection head from which at least one further jet bore emanates and which is covered by the pin when the jet needle is closed on the valve seat, and fuel supply channel means for communicating with the further jet bore when the jet needle is lifted a predetermined amount.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A fuel injection jet for combustion engines having an injection head and a spring biased jet needle which lifts from a conical needle valve seat provided by the injection head due to fuel pressure acting against the spring bias, and wherein jet bores are provided in the injection head in at least two planes and are released in sequence upon reciprocation of the jet needle with increased fuel pressure, the improvement of at least one jet bore emanating from the conical needle seat, the jet needle being provided with a cylindrical pin which is guided in a pocket bore of the injection head from which at least one further jet bore emanates and which is covered by the pin when the jet needle is closed on the valve seat, and fuel supply channel means for communicating with the further jet bore when the jet needle is lifted a predetermined amount.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A fuel injection jet in accordance with claim 1, wherein the jet bore emanating from the needle seat has a valve opening area which corresponds to a fuel requirement at idle running up to no more than 10 percent of full capacity.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
161 words
A fuel injection for combustion engines having an injection head and a spring biased jet needle which lifts from a conical needle valve seat provided by the injection head due to fuel pressure acting against the spring bias, and wherein jet bores are provided in the injection head in at least two planes and are released in sequence upon reciprocation of the jet needle with increased fuel pressure, the improvement of at least one jet bore emanating from the conical needle seat, the jet needle is provided with a cylindrical pin which is guided in a pocket bore of the injection head from which at least one further jet bore emanates and which is covered by the pin when the jet needle is closed on the valve seat, the jet needle being provided with a fuel supply channel which discharges into the pocket bore and the needle seat is connected with the fuel supply channel by means of a second channel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
161 words
A fuel injection for combustion engines having an injection head and a spring biased jet needle which lifts from a conical needle valve seat provided by the injection head due to fuel pressure acting against the spring bias, and wherein jet bores are provided in the injection head in at least two planes and are released in sequence upon reciprocation of the jet needle with increased fuel pressure, the improvement of at least one jet bore emanating from the conical needle seat, the jet needle is provided with a cylindrical pin which is guided in a pocket bore of the injection head from which at least one further jet bore emanates and which is covered by the pin when the jet needle is closed on the valve seat, the jet needle being provided with a fuel supply channel which discharges into the pocket bore and the needle seat is connected with the fuel supply channel by means of a second channel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
156 words
A fuel injection jet for combustion engines having an injection head and a spring biased jet needle which lifts from a conical needle valve seat provided by the injection head due to fuel pressure acting against the spring bias, and wherein jet bores are provided in the injection head in at least two planes and are released in sequence upon reciprocation of the jet needle with increased fuel pressure, the improvement of at least one jet bore emanating from the conical needle seat, the jet needle is provided with a cylindrical pin which is guided in a pocket bore of the injection head from which at least one further jet bore emanates and which is covered by the pin when the jet needle is closed on the valve seat, the jet nozzle being surrounded by a fuel supply channel and the pocket bore is connected with the fuel supply channel by means of a second channel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
156 words
A fuel injection jet for combustion engines having an injection head and a spring biased jet needle which lifts from a conical needle valve seat provided by the injection head due to fuel pressure acting against the spring bias, and wherein jet bores are provided in the injection head in at least two planes and are released in sequence upon reciprocation of the jet needle with increased fuel pressure, the improvement of at least one jet bore emanating from the conical needle seat, the jet needle is provided with a cylindrical pin which is guided in a pocket bore of the injection head from which at least one further jet bore emanates and which is covered by the pin when the jet needle is closed on the valve seat, the jet nozzle being surrounded by a fuel supply channel and the pocket bore is connected with the fuel supply channel by means of a second channel.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
