Abstract
The invention relates to a connector (3) for connecting a flow pipe leading to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle to a feed pump. Said connector comprises an elbowed connecting sleeve (7) which can be rotationally fixed in various angular positions in a receiver (6). Said connecting sleeve (7) is positively fixed in the receiver (6) by a catch means (9). In this way, the forces acting on the flow pipe are kept at a distance from a seal pertaining to the connecting sleeve (7).
Claims10
A connection for a supply line, leading to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, on a feed pump which feeds fuel from a fuel reservoir, having a receptacle which is connected to the feed pump and having a connector which can be connected in a positively locking fashion to the receptacle and has a bend, characterized in that the connector (7, 22) can be locked fixed in terms of rotation in different angular positions in the receptacle (6).
The connection as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a housing lid (2), comprising the receptacle (6), of the feed pump has a latching hook (19) for securing the connector (22).
The connection as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a latching means (9) is detachably connected to the receptacle (6) and to the connector (7).
The connection as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a pin (8, 20), penetrating the receptacle (6), of the connector (7, 22) has a latching recess (16, 21), and in that the latching hook (19) or the latching means (9) penetrates the latching recess (16, 21).
The connection as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the receptacle (6) has a latching recess (15a, 15b) in its region which surrounds the pin (8), and in that the latching means (9) penetrates the receptacle (6) in the region of the latching recess (15a, 15b) and penetrates the latching recess (16) of the pin (8).
The connection as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the latching means (9) is shaped in the form of a clip.
The connection as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the receptacle (6) has two latching recesses (15a, 15b) which are arranged opposite one another.
The connection as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the latching means (9) is fabricated from plastic using an injection molding method.
