Patent ID: 6848630

Claim:
An injector for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, comprising, an injector body ( 3 ), which is movable in a housing ( 2 ) and whose vertical stroke motion relative to the housing ( 2 ) is effected via an upper control chamber ( 6 ) that can be pressure-relieved by means of an actuator ( 10 ), and the closure or opening of a nozzle inlet line ( 21 ) to an injection nozzle ( 5 ) is effected via the vertical stroke motion of the injector body, and, a first slide ( 23 ) and a further slide ( 25 ) embodied on the injector body ( 3 ) for the stroke and/or pressure control of the injector, wherein a partial stroke path ( 27 ) for closing the first slide ( 23 ) is shorter than the stroke path required for opening the further slide ( 25 ), for pressure relief of a lower control chamber ( 15 ) in the injector body ( 3 ).
