Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fuel injector includes (i) a body including a distal end portion forming an injection port, a diameter reduction portion, and a diameter expansion portion, and (ii) a seal member attached to at least the diameter reduction portion of both the diameter reduction portion and the diameter expansion portion. When the body is inserted into an attachment hole communicating with a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, the seal member seals between an inner peripheral surface of the attachment hole and an outer peripheral surface of the body. The seal member includes a first taper portion chamfered and provided at an outer periphery of a distal end portion of the seal member in a case where the distal end portion of the seal member is placed at a position relatively close to the injection port.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A fuel injector comprising: a body including a distal end portion forming an injection port through which fuel is injected, the body further including a diameter reduction portion and a diameter expansion portion expanding a diameter of the diameter expansion portion from the diameter reduction portion toward a base end portion of the diameter expansion portion opposite to the injection port; and a seal member substantially cylindrical-shaped and attached to at least an outer peripheral surface of the diameter reduction portion, wherein when the body is inserted into an attachment hole communicating with a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, the seal member seals between an inner peripheral surface of the attachment hole and an outer peripheral surface of the body, and the seal member includes a first taper portion chamfered and provided at an outer periphery of a distal end portion of the seal member in a case where the distal end portion of the seal member is placed at a position relatively close to the injection port. 2 . The fuel injector according to claim 1 , wherein the seal member further includes a second taper portion which has the same shape as the first taper portion and is provided at an outer periphery of a base end portion of the seal member in a case where the base end portion of the seal member is placed at a position relatively farther from the injection port than the distal end portion of the seal member. 3 . The fuel injector according to claim 1 , further comprising: a hole taper portion chamfered and provided around an end portion of the attachment hole into which the body is inserted, wherein a chamfering angle of the first taper portion is set to be equal to a chamfering angle of the hole taper portion.
