Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetically actuatable valve is proposed, which serves in particular to inject into the intake tube a mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally-supplied ignition. The valve includes a flat armature which is firmly connected with a ball arranged to cooperate with a fixed valve seat. The flat armature is pivotally supported on its end remote from the valve seat on a spring tongue preferably embodied out of a remnant air disc. A tubular inflow stub is disposed concentrically to the valve axis, communicating on one end with a fuel distributor line and on the other end protruding as deeply as possible into the valve. A tubular outlet stub leading away from the valve seat is concentrically guided in the inlet stub, and arranged to have its end remote from the valve seat discharge into a fuel return flow line. As a result, a cooling of the valve and the return of heated fuel which contains vapor bubbles to its supply source is assured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve means for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, said valve means is connected with a fuel distributor line and a fuel return line separate therefrom and has a tubular outer inlet stub disposed concentrically with the valve means axis, arranged to communicate with said fuel distributor line and protruding into said valve means, a concentrically disposed tubular outlet stub extending upwardly from a zone in proximity to a valve including a valve seat and defining a flow cross section between said inlet stub and said outlet stub, said outlet stub has an end remote from said valve seat arranged to feed fuel into said fuel return flow line, a magnetic coil, said magnetic coil including an armature, at least said outer inlet stub protrudes through said magnetic coil, and said outlet stub includes a portion arranged to terminate near said armature of said magnetic coil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve means for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, said valve means is connected with a fuel distributor line and a fuel return line separate therefrom and has a tubular outer inlet stub disposed concentrically with the valve means axis, arranged to communicate with said fuel distributor line and protruding into said valve means, a concentrically disposed tubular outlet stub extending upwardly from a zone in proximity to a valve including a valve seat and defining a flow cross section between said inlet stub and said outlet stub, said outlet stub has an end remote from said valve seat arranged to feed fuel into said fuel return flow line, a magnetic coil, said magnetic coil including an armature, at least said outer inlet stub protrudes through said magnetic coil, and said outlet stub includes a portion arranged to terminate near said armature of said magnetic coil.
