<p>A device and a method for coupling a fluid rail (100) to injectors by a connector (300), the connector (300) having telescopic tube members (301, 302) extending between a first end and a second end, a sealing member (307) disposed between a first tubular member (301) and the fluid rail (100), a sealing member (308) disposed between a second tubular member (302) and the injector (200). The tubes are urged apart by either hydraulic pressure or by a resilient member (303) to form a tight seal between the hemispherical distal ends of the connector to the respective fluid rail outlet and injector inlet. This invention also permits the coupling of a fluid rail (100) to at least one fuel injector (200) by providing a fluid rail (100), a flexible coupler (313) on the injector inlet, mounting the nested or telescopic connector (300) into both the flexible coupler (313) and the injector inlet, inserting the fluid rail (100) onto the connector (300) and then urging the telescopic connector apart to form a tight seal against the inlet and the outlet.</p> |
