Claims
- 1. In an electronic fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine for an automobile having electro-magnetic valves through which fuel is introduced into said engine under controlled pressure, a substantially straight fuel delivery pipe having an inlet end and an outlet end, said electro-magnetic valves being spaced along the longitudinal axis of said fuel delivery pipe, another fuel pipe fluidly connected to the inlet end of said fuel delivery pipe, and a fuel pump fluidly connected to said another fuel pipe, the improvement which comprises:
- a fuel damper upstream of all of said electro-magnetic valves;
- a joint member on the inlet end of said fuel delivery pipe, said joint member comprising two coaxial cylindrical extensions extending in opposite directions from said fuel delivery pipe and terminating in opposite ends;
- one end of said joint member being fluidly connected to said another fuel pipe;
- said fuel damper extending into said joint member from the other end thereof to adjacent the one end thereof and closing said other end, said fuel damper comprising a diaphragm extending transverse to and spaced from the other end of said joint member, a valve member secured to said diaphragm and facing said other end of said joint member, and a spring biasing said diaphragm and said valve member toward said other end of said joint member;
- means defining a first single longitudinally extending central passage through said damper, said passage extending from adjacent the one end of said joint member and terminating in an end immediately facing said valve member;
- means defining a second longitudinally extending passage for fuel in said damper and between said damper and said joint member, said second passage being transversely outwardly of said first passage and also having an end immediately facing said valve member and fluidly communicating said first passage with said fuel delivery pipe.
- 2. In an electronic fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine for an automobile having electro-magnetic valves through which fuel is introduced into said engine under controlled pressure, a substantially straight fuel delivery pipe having an inlet end and an outlet end, said electro-magnetic valves being spaced along the longitudinal axis of said fuel delivery pipe, another fuel pipe fluidly connected to the inlet end of said fuel delivery pipe, and a fuel pump fluidly connected to said another fuel pipe, the improvement which comprises:
- a fuel damper upstream of all of said electro-magnetic valves;
- a joint member on the inlet end of said fuel delivery pipe, said joint member comprising two coaxial cylindrical extensions extending in opposite directions from said fuel delivery pipe and terminating in opposite ends, one end of said joint member being fluidly connected to said another fuel pipe;
- said fuel damper having an extension extending into said joint member from the other end thereof and closing said other end, said fuel damper comprising a diaphragm extending transverse to and spaced from the other end of said joint member, a valve member secured to said diaphragm and facing said other end of said joint member, and means biasing said diaphragm and said valve member toward said other end of said joint member;
- means defining a first single longitudinally extending central passage for fuel through said extension of said damper, said passage terminating in an end immediately facing said valve member;
- means defining a second longitudinally extending passage for fuel in said damper and between said extension and said joint member, said second passage being transversely outwardly of said first passage and also having an end immediately facing said valve member and fluidly communicating said first passage with said fuel delivery pipe.
