Abstract

A holder is used for fastening a fuel distributor to an internal combustion engine. The holder has a base element which is connected to the fuel distributor. A slotted sleeve is provided, which is connected to the base element, and the base element is braced on the internal combustion engine via the slotted sleeve. Furthermore, a system having the fuel distributor and a plurality of holders of this type is provided.

First claim

1 .- 10 . (canceled)

11 . A holder for fastening a component to an internal combustion engine, comprising:
a base element that is able to be connected to the component; and
a slotted sleeve that is at least indirectly connected to the base element, wherein the base element is braced on the internal combustion engine at least via the slotted sleeve.

12 . The holder as recited in claim 11 , wherein the component includes a fuel rail.

13 . The holder as recited in claim 11 , wherein the slotted sleeve is connected to the base element via multiple connection spots.

14 . The holder as recited in claim 11 , wherein the slotted sleeve is connected to the base element via multiple welding points.

15 . The holder as recited in claim 11 , wherein:
the base element includes at least one holder part, and the slotted sleeve is connected to the holder part of the base element.

16 . The holder as recited in claim 15 , wherein:
the base element includes a further holder part and a sleeve, the holder part is connected via the sleeve to the further holder part, and a through hole extends through the further holder part, the sleeve, the holder part, and the slotted sleeve along a fastening axis.

17 . The holder as recited in claim 16 , further comprising:
a fastening element capable of being guided through the through opening along the fastening axis in order to connect the base element indirectly to the internal combustion engine, wherein the slotted sleeve has an uninterrupted annular contact face by which the slotted sleeve rests against a top surface of the internal combustion engine when the base element is indirectly connected to the internal combustion engine.

18 . The holder as recited in claim 11 , wherein the slotted sleeve has at least one slot that extends parallel to a fastening axis of the slotted sleeve, from a contact face of the slotted sleeve to a connection surface of the slotted sleeve facing away from the contact face.

19 . The holder as recited in claim 11 , wherein:
the base element is developed in such a way that an orientation of a longitudinal axis of the component is predefined when connecting the base element to the component, and a slot of the slotted sleeve one of faces the longitudinal axis and faces away from the longitudinal axis.

20 . A system, comprising:
a component; and a plurality of holders that fasten the component to an internal combustion engine, wherein at least one of the holders includes:
a base element that is able to be connected to the component, and
a slotted sleeve that is at least indirectly connected to the base element, wherein the base element is braced on the internal combustion engine at least via the slotted sleeve.

21 . The system as recited in claim 20 , wherein:
the component has a tubular body, and a slot of the slotted sleeve one of faces a longitudinal axis of the tubular body and faces away from the longitudinal axis of the tubular body.
