A unit injector for staged injection of fuel in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The unit injector comprises a fuel pump and a spray nozzle combined in a single unit adapted to be mounted on the engine with the fuel pump adapted to be driven by a mechanism provided on the engine. The fuel pump of the unit injector includes a pair of cooperating plungers defining first and second fuel compression chambers for producing a plurality of discrete fuel injections during a single cycle of the internal combustion engine and with a single stroke of the driven plunger of the fuel pump.

Unit injector for staged injection

There are disclosed several embodiments of a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine in response to the pressure of the fuel. In each embodiment, a nozzle of the injector which extends into the combustion chamber is opened and closed by means of a valve member which is yieldably urged into tight engagement with a seat in the lower end of the nozzle and which is rotated in response to increasing and decreasing fuel pressure, respectively, to move the outlets in the valve member and nozzle into and out of register.

Fuel injector

An actuator having a collar with two annular grooves so that the actuator container be engaged to an aerosol container in two different positions; one, the lower, where the container is kept activated and another, the upper, where the container is kept deactivated. The actuator can easily be manually engaged or disengaged to the container, and likewise, easily be moved into the different positions.
