Hold-down device for a fuel injection device

A hold-down device for a fuel injection device, the fuel injection device including at least one fuel injector, a receptacle bore for the fuel injector and a connecting fitting of a fuel distributor line, wherein it is possible to clamp the hold-down device between a shoulder of the fuel injector and an end surface of the connecting fitting, the hold-down device comprising:

• a base element in the shape of a partial ring, from which an axially flexible hold-down clip extends, the clip having at least two webs, two oblique segments, and two contact segments, and the base element being designed as a partial ring standing upright, whose wall thickness corresponds to the thickness of the sheet metal used, wherein the base element makes a transition into the two webs of the hold-down clip in such a way that the sheet metal wide sides of the webs extending out from the plane of the base element are opposite from one another and the ends of the webs facing away from the base element are bent in such a way that the oblique segments extend out from the bent end areas of the webs in such a way that the cut edges are now opposite from one another in the sheet metal.
