Abstract

A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine includes an injector having a first orifice to which is tightly connected a pipe having a matching first orifice. Both orifices are surrounded with peripheral smooth surfaces that are complementary surfaces sealingly pressed against each other by a clamping plate.

Claims (6)

1. A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, the fuel injection system comprising:

an injector having a first orifice;

a clamping plate; and

a pipe tightly connected to said first orifice of said injector, said pipe having a matching first orifice such that said first orifice of said injector is surrounded by a first peripheral smooth surface and said matching first orifice of said pipe is surrounded by a second peripheral smooth surface sealingly pressed against said first peripheral smooth surface by said clamping plate, and wherein said pipe is cylindrical, with said matching first orifice extending radially through said pipe such that said second peripheral smooth surface of said pipe is an outer cylindrical surface of said pipe and said first peripheral smooth surface of said injector is a matching surface of a groove arranged on said injector;

wherein said pipe is engaged between a lower surface of said clamping plate and an upper surface of said injector, and a screw is inserted through said clamping plate and threaded into said injector so that said clamping plate and said injector are pulled toward each other and so that said second peripheral smooth surface of said pipe and said first peripheral smooth surface of said injector are sealingly pressed against each other; and

wherein said injector and a first extremity of said clamping plate each have complementary hooks, such that said injector and said first extremity of said clamping plate are engaged via said complementary hooks, said screw being tightened at a second extremity of said clamping plate opposed to said hook of said clamping plate so that said pipe engaged between said lower surface of said clamping plate and said upper surface of said injector is fixed by a radial compression force.
