Multipart insulating element, in particular for a fuel injection device

A multi-part insulating element for a fuel injection apparatus for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber, the fuel injection apparatus comprising:

• at least one fuel injection valve and one receiving bore for the fuel injection valve;
• and
• an insulating element introduced between a valve housing of the fuel injection valve and a wall of the receiving bore, the insulating element including an inner insulating ring that is circumferentially surrounded by an outer ring and an inner ring, the outer ring being directed toward the fuel injection valve and the inner ring being directed toward the wall of the receiving bore,
• wherein abutment of the outer ring and the fuel injection valve occurs with the insulating element, the inner ring, and the wall of the receiving bore in an installed state,
• wherein the outer ring is disposed on a top surface of the insulating ring,
• wherein the insulating ring is an annular braided, knitted, or woven wire element,
• wherein the inner ring includes a first side,
• wherein the outer ring includes a second side that faces the first side,
• wherein the annular braided, knitted, or woven wire element directly contacts the first side of the inner ring and directly contacts the second side of the outer ring,
• wherein an entire length of the first side directly contacts only a material of the annular braided, knitted, or woven wire element, and
• wherein an entire length of the second side directly contacts only the material of the annular braided, knitted, or woven wire element.
