Patent Classification: ["123", "456000"]

Abstract:
Various teachings of the present disclosure may be embodied in a fuel rail assembly for a combustion engine comprising: an elongated tubular fuel rail; a fuel delivery pipe unit hydraulically coupled to the fuel rail; an injector cup for receiving a fuel injector, a pipe coupled to the cup and to the rail, and at least one fixation unit for fixing the pipe unit to the engine. The fixation unit comprises a connecting element fixed to a predetermined pipe unit portion by a first filler material joint. The connecting element, absent the first filler material joint, is axially and rotatably movable relative to the pipe and the injector cup. The fixation unit includes a bracket element with a through hole for a bolt to the engine. The bracket element is fixed to a predetermined connecting element portion by a second filler material joint. The bracket element, absent the second filler material joint, is laterally movable with respect to the connecting element for adjusting its radial distance from the pipe and the injector cup.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of assembling a fuel rail assembly for a combustion engine, the fuel rail assembly comprising a fuel delivery pipe unit with an injector cup for receiving a fuel inlet portion of a fuel injector, a pipe hydraulically coupled to the injector cup, and a fixation unit for fixing the fuel delivery pipe unit to the combustion engine, the method comprising:\n hydraulically coupling the pipe to an elongated tubular fuel rail; and fixedly connecting the pipe to the injector cup; positioning a connecting element next to a predetermined pipe unit portion so that it is axially and rotatably displaceable relative to the pipe and the injector cup with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pipe; positioning a bracket element next to a predetermined connecting element portion so that it is laterally displaceable with respect to the connecting element; moving the bracket element for adjusting its radial distance from the pipe and the injector cup; fixedly connecting the connecting element to the predetermined pipe unit portion by a first filler material joint; and fixedly connecting the bracket element to the predetermined connecting element portion by a second filler material joint.
