Interference Connection Between A Fluid Line And A Fluid Injector

US Patent:
4765543, Aug 23, 1988
Filed:
Aug 3, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/081217
Inventors:
Tibor S. Jaksa - Pontiac IL
Richard F. Norton - Peoria IL
Kenneth W. Hall - Peoria IL
Stephen J. Butler - Chillicothe IL
Craig C. Chicoine - Bloomington IL
Wilford L. Bienz - Bloomington IL
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F02M 5948
US Classification:
2395332
Abstract:
Conventional joints between a fluid line and a body of a fluid injector are typically threaded or brazed. Such threaded joints are sometimes too bulky for certain engine compartments of limited space and such brazed joints are sometimes difficult to make with repeatable high quality. The present invention provides a relatively compact and inexpensive sealed joint for a fluid injector which includes a housing, a body, and a fluid line. The sealed joint is solely formed by an interference fit directly between an end portion of the fluid line and both the housing and an end portion of the body.
