Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A filler pipe includes a nozzle guide that is mounted on an inlet part of the filler pipe and holds a nozzle end part of a fueling gun. The nozzle guide includes a nozzle guide mounting part, which is mounted on the inlet part of the filler pipe, a nozzle guide holding part, which is positioned in a distal end of the nozzle guide, and holds the nozzle end part of the fueling gun, and a nozzle guide connecting part that connects the nozzle guide mounting part and the nozzle guide holding part with each other. The nozzle guide holding part has a plurality of projecting parts that are able to abut on an outer surface of a nozzle of the fueling gun. The nozzle guide is mounted on the inlet part of the filler pipe, at the nozzle guide mounting part, by swaging or spot welding.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A filler pipe that feeds fuel into a fuel tank from an oil filler port of a vehicle body, the oil filler port being formed on an outer surface of the vehicle body, comprising a nozzle guide that is mounted on an inlet part of the filler pipe and is configured to hold a nozzle end part of a fueling gun, wherein the nozzle guide includes a nozzle guide mounting part, which is mounted on the inlet part of the filler pipe, a nozzle guide holding part, which is positioned in a distal end of the nozzle guide, is configured to hold the nozzle end part of the fueling gun, and sends fuel into the filler pipe, and a nozzle guide connecting part that connects the nozzle guide mounting part and the nozzle guide holding part with each other, the nozzle guide is provided such that the nozzle guide mounting part, the nozzle guide connecting part, and the nozzle guide holding part are integrally provided, the nozzle guide holding part has a plurality of projecting parts that are able to abut on an outer surface of a nozzle of the fueling gun, the nozzle guide is mounted on the inlet part of the filler pipe, at the nozzle guide mounting part, by swaging or spot welding, the nozzle guide has no hole in a part that faces an opening of a breather pipe that is mounted on the inlet part of the filler pipe, and the nozzle guide holding part includes a nozzle guide stopper configured as a curved distal end of the nozzle guide holding part, the nozzle guide stopper is curved in a direction of a central axis of the nozzle guide and holds a distal end of the nozzle end part of the fueling gun. 2. The filler pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of projecting parts of the nozzle guide are formed so that an interval between the projecting parts, which face each other, is between 22.6 and 23.6 mm. 3. The filler pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle guide connecting part has an air bleeding hole. 4. The filler pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle guide holding part has a fuel bleeding hole. 5. The filler pipe according to claim 1 , wherein a nozzle guide upper-side opening is formed in an upper surface of the nozzle guide holding part. 6. The filler pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle guide mounting part is mounted closely onto an inner surface of the inlet part of the filler pipe. 7. The filler pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle guide is made from metal.
