Abstract

A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines has a nozzle body, a valve needle displaceably supported by the nozzle body, and a nozzle holder connected with the nozzle body and containing a spring chamber having a base. In the spring chamber are first and second closing springs arranged one after the other and acting on the valve needle one after the other. A first thrust pin penetrates the second closing spring. The first closing spring, which is farther away from the nozzle body, is supported at the base of the spring chamber and acts on the valve needle via the first thrust pin. The second closing spring is closer to the nozzle body and supported on a housing side and acts on the valve needle via discs and an intermediate bush. A second thrust pin penetrates the first closing spring and is arranged coaxially to the first thrust pin. The second closing spring is supported at the base of the spring chamber via the second thrust pin. The thrust pins have ends which face each other and carry heads with fingers which engage through one another and on which the closing springs are supported.
