Abstract
Coupling structure () for coupling a fuel injector to a fuel rail () includes a fuel injector receiving cup () having an outer wall () and an interior space (). The cup includes slot structure () through the outer wall. Clip structure () has a base () and a wall () extending transversely from the base. The base is received in the slot structure and extends into the interior space so that a portion of the base engages the fuel injector to limit movement thereof both axially and radially with respect to the receiving cup, with the wall being disposed adjacent to a portion of the outer wall of the receiving cup. A retainer () engages the wall of the clip structure to secure the clip structure to the receiving cup.
