For one, it's the name of a type of trailer hitch. Click on the links to your right for more information.

In automotive terms, it also refers to the tip of a fuel injector on the engine.. The pintle opens and closes the injector at a high rate of speed in sync with the intake stroke of the piston while the hole the pintle seats in, controls the rate of fuel flow into the cylinder.
