Abstract
The present invention relates to a distributor device (1) for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines for supplying gas and for electrical contacting of fuel injection valves (2). The distributor device has a gas supply line (70) for the joint gas supply to the fuel injection valves (2), comprising a supply orifice (71) and a number of connecting parts (7) for connecting the supply orifice (71) to gas inlet channels (13) of the fuel injection valves (2). Furthermore, a plurality of bushings (78) are provided along the gas supply line (70) and work together with plugs (47) provided on the fuel injection valves (2) to establish electric contact with the fuel injection valves (2). In the refinement according to this invention, a locking spring (88) is provided for each bushing (78) to lock the connection of the bushing (78) to the plug (47) of the respective fuel injection valve (2). Furthermore, operating devices (87) for releasing the locking springs (88) are provided on the side (102) of the gas supply line (70) facing away from the bushings (78), where each locking spring (88) runs across the longitudinal extent of the gas supply line (70) as far as the respective op…
