A fuel swirler positioned upstream of an injection orifice is disposed at the tip of a nozzle body in a fuel injector, in which the fixed core and the nozzle body are coupled to each other via a non-magnetic cylindrical seal ring press-fitted and welded to the outer circumference of one end on the nozzle body side of the fixed core and the inner circumference of one end of the nozzle body. The inner circumference of the fuel swirler and the inner circumference of the seal ring function serve as a guide for slidably guiding a stroke movement of the needle. The fuel swirler is held between the receiving surface of the nozzle body and the orifice plate, thus defining an annular fuel passage between the outer circumference of the fuel swirler and the inner circumference of the nozzle body, so that fuel flows into a passage groove formed at the lower end surface of the fuel swirler via the annular fuel passage. A mass movable in an axial direction independently of the needle is interposed between the return spring and the needle, and a plate spring is interposed between the mass and the needle.

To manufacture a cylindrical member, such as the nozzle body of a fuel injector, in which a fluid passage is formed at high productivity and to improve the reliability. A cylindrical member, such as the nozzle body of a fuel injector, in which a fluid passage is formed is manufactured by drawing martenstic stainless steel. In addition, during the drawing process of martenstic stainless steel, an intermediate product is annealed and lug is removed after another drawing process, and then is subjected to drawing again to obtain a product.

An electronic fuel injector capable of supplying fuel in a stable manner is provided by employing a swirler, which is manufactured at a lower cost and has durability, and by ensuring superior wear resistance of the swirler and a valve member provided on a movable part, which is put into frictional contact with the swirler. The electronic fuel injector comprises a movable part, a valve member, a valve seat, a swirler, a stopper, a stator core, a casing, a spring, and an electromagnetic coil. A valve member is provided at a fore end of the movable part. The swirler serves not only to swirl fuel, but also to guide movement of the valve member provided at the fore end of the movable part. The swirler is formed of a powder sintered compact of martensitic stainless steel having corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

A high-frequency communication apparatus has a case containing a transmitter-receiver including circuit elements. A functional structure capable of confining radiation energy radiated by unnecessary radio wave source to prevent the radiation energy from interfering with the operations of the transmitter-receiver is formed on at least one of the walls of the case by forming a plurality of projections in regular arrangement by press working. The circuit elements of the transmitter-receiver are packed in the case to suppress the undesired electromagnetic coupling of internal and external electromagnetic waves with the circuit elements of the transmitter-receiver.

An electromagnetic fuel injection valve comprises a valve body, a valve seat which cooperates with the valve body, a fuel injection port disposed downstream of the valve seat, and a dividing device which serves to divide injection fuel injected from the fuel injection port. The dividing device is formed integrally with a member in which the fuel injection port is formed and includes parallel walls substantially parallel to each other with the fuel injection port interposed therebetween and arcuate walls connected to the parallel walls having a diameter larger than that of the fuel injection port. The walls extend from said member in a direction of an axis of the valve. The dividing device has an outer diameter substantially equal to the largest diameter of the valve seat.

An inner cylindrical component is disposed on a bottom portion of an outer cylindrical component with a clearance which is formed between an outer diameter portion of the inner component and an inner diameter portion of the outer component. A guiding pin for positioning is inserted concentrically through the inner component and a tip end portion of the guiding pin engages with the bottom portion of the outer component. An outer peripheral portion of the positioned inner component is locally and vertically pressure-pressed. A portion of the inner component is extended in an outer diameter direction according to the pressure-pressing plastic deformation. The extended member of the inner component is joined together with the inner diameter portion of the outer component. The extended member of the inner component and the outer component are mutually combined together. After the pressing operation the guiding pin is withdrawn.

A fuel injector device has a fuel swirling element disposed upstream of a valve seat and capable of imparting a swirling force to a fuel supplied thereto, a fuel injection nozzle orifice disposed downstream of the valve seat, and a fuel distributing adapter disposed downstream of the fuel injection nozzle orifice and capable of distributing the flow of the fuel injected by the fuel injection nozzle orifice in two directions. The adapter has an axial fuel passage having a fuel inlet of a diameter greater than that of the injection orifice and an outlet end of a substantially '8'-shape having a minimum diameter smaller than that of the inlet end. The adapter can be formed by preparing a blank having an axial fuel passage and then conducting a plastic work by a punch press on an end face of the blank so as to restrict the outlet end of the fuel passage.
