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.

The present invention relates to an integrated anti-siphon fuel filler neck assembly that includes wedge shaped apertures and a side wall that includes side wall apertures connected to the wedge shaped apertures, wherein the wedge shaped apertures and the side wall apertures are sized to prevent a siphon hose from passing there through.

A plastic tank for a motor vehicle. The plastic tank includes a container wall composed of plastic, an opening arranged in the container wall, a removable cover member operable to close and open the opening, and a stiffening ring member, composed of an injection-moulded plastic, embedded into an edge of the container wall that surrounds the opening, the stiffening ring member being operable to directly or indirectly support the cover member when the opening is closed.

A closure device for a fluid container, in particular a hydraulic tank, has a base (4), which can be attached to the container opening and has a cover part (2), which encloses a ventilation and/or a filter device (36). The cover part (2) is held on the base (4) so as to be freely rotatable in a functional unlocking position. In a functional locking position, the closure device permits the container opening to be unlocked by a safety device (48, 50, 58) while connecting the cover part (2) to the base (4). The safety device (48, 50, 58) can be actuated by a magnetic device generating a magnetic field (62). The magnetic device establishes the functional locking position of the cover (2) and the base (4) by magnetic force.

A valve member provides for the flow of vapors from a fuel tank of an internal combustion engine to escape the fuel tank. The valve member may include a valve and a boss or spacer. The valve is configured to selectively control the flow of vapor from the fuel tank. The boss or spacer is positioned in a predetermined relationship to the valve, and the boss or spacer prevents a deformation of the valve from disrupting the selectively controlled flow of vapor from the fuel tank.

An in-tank fuel pump assembly and mounting system is disclosed which may be configured for mounting inside a fuel tank. The assembly includes a pump housing, pump mounted to the housing, and pressure relief valve. The housing may comprise upper and lower pump housing units coupled together. The upper housing unit is configured for mounting to a tank opening, which in one implementation may be the fuel fill opening. The lower housing unit extends into the tank to approximately the bottom of the tank. A fuel fill fluid pathway is created through the housing for adding fuel to the tank while the pump assembly remains in situ. The upper housing unit may include a removable fuel cap. The pump housing may include an integral vapor trap.

A closure cap for an operating medium tank is provided with a closure device projecting into a fill socket of the operating medium tank. The closure device has a first cap element, a second cap element, and a sealing ring arranged between the first and second cap elements. A lifting assembly axially moves by an axial travel the first and second cap elements relative to each other for opening and closing the fill socket. The lifting assembly has a pressure member acting axially on one of the first and second cap elements. A grip member is provided that is rotatable about a hub and actuates the lifting assembly. A cover disk covering at least partially the fill socket relative to an exterior is connected fixedly to the pressure member of the lifting assembly. The cover disk rotates, together with the pressure member, about the hub.

A tank cap structure of an embodiment includes a cap body, a grip portion, a valve device, and a ratchet mechanism. The valve device includes a valve case which has a cylindrical shape about a screw axis and accommodates a float, and a valve body which has a tapered shape thinner than the valve case and extends toward an opening. The cap body includes a cylindrical receiving portion which has a cylindrical shape about the screw axis. A seal-receiving portion receiving a seal member held between the cap body and an oil filler port portion is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical receiving portion. A valve-receiving portion receiving the valve device inserted into an inner circumference of the cylindrical receiving portion is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical receiving portion.

Provided is a refueling port which can be manufactured at low cost. A refueling port includes: a refueling port main body made of resin; an inlet fitting formed in a tubular shape, arranged at an inlet opening of the refueling port main body, and having a groove on the outer peripheral surface; and a resin cover formed in a tubular shape, arranged on the outer peripheral side of the inlet fitting, having internal protrusions that engage with the groove of the inlet fitting in a tubular axial direction of the inlet fitting, and fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the inlet opening of the refueling port main body.

A fuel tank includes a tank main body and a fuel filler neck. A breather hole is provided in an inner surface of the fuel filler neck. A connecting pipe opens to the inside of the fuel filler neck though the breather hole and extends from the fuel filler neck in the radial direction. The inside of the fuel filler neck includes a first vapor-liquid separation chamber therein that is partitioned from the tank main body and connected to the breather hole. Liquid fuel entering the breather channel is reduced.
