IPR solenoid retaining nut

Abstract

A solenoid retaining nut that secures a solenoid on an injection pressure regulator. The solenoid retaining nut comprises of a nut that has a top part, a middle part, and a bottom part, the top part is a nut, the middle part is a spacer, and the bottom part is a washer, the solenoid retaining nut defines an inner thread that runs from the top part of the spacer to the top part of the nut, the inner thread is configured to screw on the threads of a shaft of an injection pressure regulator.

Claims

1. An injection pressure regulator assembly that comprises: an injection pressure regulator that has a threaded shaft; and a nut that has a top part, a middle part, and a bottom part, the top part is a nut, the middle part is an annular spacer, and the bottom part is a cylindrical planar washer, the cylindrical planar washer is directly adjacent and perpendicular to the annular spacer, the solenoid retaining nut defines an inner thread that runs from the top part of the annular spacer to the top part of the nut, the inner thread has six threads, the inner thread is configured to screw on a thread of a shaft of an injection pressure regulator, the inner thread measures 0.3150 of an inch in length, the nut is screwed on the threaded shaft after a solenoid is mounted on the threaded shaft.

DESCRIPTION

(10) As seen in FIGS. 1-4, the present invention is an IPR solenoid retaining nut that prevents vehicle engine stall.

(11) The IPR solenoid retaining nut 100 comprises a top part 10, a middle part 20, and a bottom part 30, the top part 10 is a nut, the middle part 20 is an annular spacer, and the bottom part 30 is a cylindrical planar washer, The cylindrical planar washer is directly adjacent and perpendicular to the annular spacer, the solenoid retaining nut 100 defines an inner thread 40 that runs from the top part of the annular spacer 20 to the top part 10 of the nut, the inner thread has six threads, the inner thread 40 measures 0.3150 of an inch in length, the inner thread is configured to screw on the threads of a shaft of an injection pressure regulator.

(12) In a preferred embodiment, the nut has a diameter of 1.187 inches, the solenoid retaining nut has a height of 0.894 inches, and the cylindrical planar washer has a diameter of 1.015 inches.

(13) In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 8, the invention is an IPR solenoid assembly 100 that comprises the IPR retaining nut of claim 1.

(14) The inner thread of the present invention captures more of the threads of the shaft of the IPR, thereby a greater torque can be applied to the solenoid that is mounted on the shaft of the IPR, this in turn lowers the chances of the solenoid from moving from an initial flush solution. In a preferred embodiment, a locking glue can be applied to the inner threads of the present invention prior to the mounting of the nut on the shaft of the IPR. It is proven that the present invention will allow for an increase of torque to be applied to the solenoid of double of what the tinnerman nut currently allows.

(15) An advantage of the present invention is that it prevents a solenoid mounted on an IPR from moving away from an initial flush position.

(16) Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a solenoid retaining nut that prevents engine stall.

(17) Yet another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a solenoid retaining nut that greatly lowers the chances of steering failure due to engine stall.

(18) Yet still another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a solenoid retaining nut that greatly lowers the chances of brake failure due to engine stall.

(19) A further advantage of the present invention is that it provides a solenoid retaining nut that prevents the injectors of a vehicle from malfunctioning.

(20) The embodiments of the IPR solenoid retaining nut described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, combinations, variations, and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve an equivalent result, all of which are intended to be embraced within the scope of the appended claims. Further, nothing in the above-provided discussions of the IPR solenoid securing nut should be construed as limiting the invention to an embodiment or a combination of embodiments. The scope of the invention is defined by the description, drawings, and claims.
