Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines has a nozzle body, a valve needle displaceably supported by the nozzle body, and a nozzle holder connected with the nozzle body and containing a spring chamber having a base. In the spring chamber are first and second closing springs arranged one after the other and acting on the valve needle one after the other. A first thrust pin penetrates the second closing spring. The first closing spring, which is farther away from the nozzle body, is supported at the base of the spring chamber and acts on the valve needle via the first thrust pin. The second closing spring is closer to the nozzle body and supported on a housing side and acts on the valve needle via discs and an intermediate bush. A second thrust pin penetrates the first closing spring and is arranged coaxially to the first thrust pin. The second closing spring is supported at the base of the spring chamber via the second thrust pin. The thrust pins have ends which face each other and carry heads with fingers which engage through one another and on which the closing springs are supported.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines, comprising a nozzle body; a valve needle displaceably supported by said nozzle body; a nozzle holder connected with said nozzle body and containing a spring chamber having a base; two closing springs arranged one after the other and acting on said valve needle one after the other; a first thrust pin; said closed springs having a first closing spring which is farther away from said nozzle body, is supported at said base of said spring chamber and acts on said valve needle via said first thrust pin, said closing springs also including a second closing spring which is closer to said nozzle body and supported on a housing side and acting on said valve needle, said first thrust pin penetrating said second closing spring; a second thrust pin which penetrates the first closing spring and is arranged coaxially to said first thrust pin, said second closing spring being supported at said base of said spring chamber via said second thrust pin, said thrust pins having ends which face each other and carry heads with fingers which engage through one another and on which said closing springs are supported.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
196 words
A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines, comprising a nozzle body; a valve needle displaceably supported by said nozzle body; a nozzle holder connected with said nozzle body and containing a spring chamber having a base; two closing springs arranged one after the other and acting on said valve needle one after the other; a first thrust pin; said closed springs having a first closing spring which is farther away from said nozzle body, is supported at said base of said spring chamber and acts on said valve needle via said first thrust pin, said closing springs also including a second closing spring which is closer to said nozzle body and supported on a housing side and acting on said valve needle, said first thrust pin penetrating said second closing spring; a second thrust pin which penetrates the first closing spring and is arranged coaxially to said first thrust pin, said second closing spring being supported at said base of said spring chamber via said second thrust pin, said thrust pins having ends which face each other and carry heads with fingers which engage through one another and on which said closing springs are supported.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A fuel injection nozzle as defined in claim 1, wherein said closing springs are formed as helical closing springs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A fuel injection nozzle as defined in claim 1, wherein said heads of said thrust pins are identical.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A fuel injection nozzle as defined in claim 1, wherein said fingers of said heads of said thrust pins have a circular segment-shaped cross-section, said fingers of said first thrust pin complementing the fingers of said second thrust pin to form a cylinder ring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A fuel injection nozzle as defined in claim 1, and further comprising two discs each arranged so that each of said closing springs is supported on said fingers via a respective one of said discs.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A fuel injection nozzle as defined in claim 1, wherein said thrust pins have rod-shaped parts, said heads with said fingers of said thrust pins being formed as parts which are separate from said rod-shaped parts.
