Fuel injection nozzle for an air-compressing internal combustion engine

A fuel injection nozzle arrangement for an air-compressing internal combustion engine, the arrangement comprising a nozzle needle means having an opening and closing stroke for controlling an injection of fuel, a valve seat means cooperable with the nozzle needle means, and a compression spring means for normally urging the nozzle needle means into engagement with the valve seat means, the nozzle needle means being adapted to be lifted off the valve seat means by a fuel pressure so as to enable a fuel injection, means are provided for rotating the nozzle needle means about a longitudinal axis thereof in a stepwise manner in one direction of rotation by a predetermined rotational angle during each closing stroke of the nozzle needle means,

• the nozzle needle means is constructed as a throttle-pin, and the valve seat means is constructed as a conical valve seat,
• the rotating means are arranged between the compression spring means and the nozzle needle means, characterized in that the rotating means includes a sleeve means seated on the nozzle needle means, a spring disk means for forming an abutment for one end of the compression spring means is rotatably mounted on the sleeve means, the sleeve means includes mutually opposed guide means for respectively defining oppositely oriented guide paths, a pivot means extends through the sleeve means so as to project from respective sides thereof and is displaceable along said guide means, and in that a clamping cone means cooperates with the respective ends of the pivot pin means in such a manner that the ends of the pivot pin means rests on the clamping cone means when the nozzle needle means is in a closed position.
