Patent attributes
An injector assembly is disclosed for mounting within a mounting member, which includes a first mounting aperture that defines an axis, and a second mounting aperture that defines an axis and an inner surface. The axis of the first mounting aperture extends transverse to the axis of the second mounting aperture. The injector assembly includes an inlet connector that can be disposed within the first mounting aperture. The injector assembly further includes an injection valve member that can be disposed within the second mounting aperture. The injection valve member includes a fuel inlet that defines an axis. The injection valve member is in fluid communication with the inlet connector via the fuel inlet. Furthermore, the injector assembly includes an abutment member operable to supply a supporting force from the second mounting aperture to the injection valve member. The axis of the fuel inlet approximately intersects the abutment member.
