PRESSURIZED GAS TANK FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
A pressurized gas tank for a motor vehicle includes a cylindrical axially extending housing with two end pieces axially connected thereto connected together by one or more tie rods configured for axial transmission of tensile force. The tie rods include an axially continuous through-channel configured to be connected to a vehicle cooling system including a circulating liquid coolant to cool the pressurized gas at least during refueling of the pressurized gas tank.
Fuel door and vehicle including the same
Disclosed are a fuel door having a cap sealing structure which obviates a cap for urea solution or water injection and a vehicle including the same. The fuel door includes a protrusion configured to protrude from an inner side of the fuel door and comprising a hollow and at least one cutout part being in fluid communication with the hollow, a membrane member coupled to the protrusion so as to cover the hollow of the protrusion, and a sealing member installed on the protrusion along a circumference of the membrane member.
Fuel cap for vehicle having locking structure generating sound interval
A fuel cap for a vehicle has a locking structure configured to generate a sound interval, including a head portion having a handle formed at a first side and one or more striking portions installed at a second side, and a body portion integrally assembled with the head portion and having a plurality of sound generators installed at the body portion and disposed in a state of being struck by the one or more striking portions installed at the second side of the head portion according to a rotation of the head portion by a locking torque.
Fully-integrated, fluid flow-control module designed for installation within an ISO filler neck of a top-fill def tank
A fully-integrated flow-control module is designed to fit within a filler neck of a DEF tank that conforms to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 22241-4:2009(E). The flow-control module includes a breather cap that locks the flow-control module within the mouth of the ISO filler neck. A spring-biased valve piston, which is controlled by a bleed path within a bleed and float body, opens and closes to control fluid flow into the DEF tank. A fluid level float is mounted on a control rod. The control rod and a bleed valve poppet are rigidly secured to a connector beam. When fluid levels in the tank raise the float, the bleed valve poppet seals a bleed circuit escape port, thereby enabling the valve piston to close, increase fluid pressure at the nozzle, and cause the nozzle to shut off.
Stackable container assembly
A container including a container body and a fixture assembly configured for receiving an accessory container, the bottom surface of the container body being configured for connecting the container to a vehicle, the bottom surface including: a tongue attached to the bottom surface at a first end portion of the bottom surface, the tongue extending from the bottom surface, at least a portion of the tongue extending parallel to the bottom surface, the tongue being positioned on a first side of the container body, and an anchor attached to the bottom surface at a second end portion of the bottom surface opposite the first end portion, the anchor being positioned on a second side of the container body, the second side of the container body being oppositely disposed to the first side of the container body, the anchor including at least one anchor lock.
STACKABLE CONTAINER ASSEMBLY
A container including a container body and a fixture assembly configured for receiving an accessory container, the bottom surface of the container body being configured for connecting the container to a vehicle, the bottom surface including: a tongue attached to the bottom surface at a first end portion of the bottom surface, the tongue extending from the bottom surface, at least a portion of the tongue extending parallel to the bottom surface, the tongue being positioned on a first side of the container body, and an anchor attached to the bottom surface at a second end portion of the bottom surface opposite the first end portion, the anchor being positioned on a second side of the container body, the second side of the container body being oppositely disposed to the first side of the container body, the anchor including at least one anchor lock.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
A vehicle security system may be automatically activated when a vehicle (e.g., car or truck) is temporarily stopped. Specifically, if a car is stopped at a gas station or other type of temporary stop (e.g., where a car would not be fully closed and locked) the vehicle security system may engage (e.g., based on opening of a gas cap cover). The vehicle security system monitors for theft of contents from inside a vehicle in a temporary stopped state. The vehicle security system may lock different doors based on different conditions. In some cases, only some doors (and not all doors) will be locked. In a temporary stop condition, a vehicle may not be fully locked to engage a standard anti-theft security system. If a driver's attention is diverted during the temporary stopped condition a quick and quiet theft scenario (e.g., a reach and grab) may be attempted.
Fuel filler pipe
A tubular fuel filler pipe body is a blow molded body and is adapted to connect to a fuel tank at one end thereof. The fuel filler pipe body includes in an outer circumferential surface of another end side thereof an annular recessed groove. The fuel filler pipe body includes an opening of the other end thereof to which a nozzle guide is mounted. The nozzle guide includes on an one end side thereof an annular covering portion configured to cover annularly the outer circumferential surface of the other end side of the fuel filler pipe body. An annular rubber sealing member configured to seal between an inner circumferential surface of the annular recessed groove and an inner circumferential surface of the annular covering portion fits with the annular recessed groove.
FUEL TYPE IDENTIFYING GAS CAP
A fuel type identifying gas cap that is configured to being operably coupled to an opening of a gas can and provide identification of the fuel type and a fuel to oil ratio of the fuel disposed in the gas can. The present invention includes a body wherein the body includes a top portion. The top portion includes an inner dial member being configured to display the fuel to oil ratio of the fuel disposed in the gas can. An outer dial member is present and is configured to display the fuel type, specifically indicating the octane level. A center portion is present in the body that is releasably secured thereto. The center portion is configured to display the month and year of the fuel deposit into the gas can. Additionally, the center portion is releasably secured in order to facilitate an operable coupling with a spout.
STACKABLE CONTAINER ASSEMBLY
A stackable container assembly having a base container with a container body having a bottom surface being configured for connecting the base container to a vehicle; and an anchor connected to the container body and being configured for inserting into a vehicle anchor fixture, the anchor including an anchor base being connected to the bottom surface of the container body; and an anchor lock extending from the anchor base; and an accessory container including an accessory body having an accessory bottom surface for selectively connecting the accessory container to one of the top surface of the base container and the vehicle such that the accessory container is arranged in one of stacked on top of the base container, and directly connected to the vehicle, the accessory container using a same connection arrangement for connecting to the one of the base container and the vehicle.
