Patent ID: 7063075

Claim:
A mounting device for attaching a fuel injector both to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and to a fuel distribution line, the mounting device comprising: two spring tongues which are insertable into a holding groove in one of the fuel injector and the fuel distribution line, a distance between tips of the spring tongues being smaller than a largest diameter of an opening surface enclosed by the tips, wherein the spring tongues are radially elastic with respect to an axis of the fuel injector; and at least two spring elements, elastically displaced in a direction of the axis with respect to the spring tongues by one of tensile and compressive forces, the elements formed and configured to be axially non-positively, detachably connectable to one of the fuel injector and the fuel distribution line via a catch connection, wherein on a side facing the holding groove, the spring tongues, at least in a partial section, are axially bent so that clearance-free, axially elastic jamming occurs when the spring tongues are inserted into the holding groove.
