Abstract
The cup into which the injector inlet is inserted has a radial key on its lip which requires that the retention clip have a proper circumferential orientation for registration with the key in order to permit the full assembly of the injector to the cup to be achieved when the injector, with the clip attached thereto, is inserted into the cup. The key is formed during the cup fabrication process out of metal that would otherwise be a part of the offal stock that is trimmed from the perimeter of the blank after the blank has been drawn to form the cup.
