Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A canister in one aspect of the present invention comprises an adsorber having a honeycomb shape that adsorbs evaporated fuel and a housing chamber that houses the adsorber. The canister comprises an outer passage, provided in the housing chamber, that passes over an outer surface of the adsorber and a flow passage that passes through the adsorber and the outer passage as a flow passage for the evaporated fuel to pass through the housing chamber.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A canister comprising: an adsorber having a honeycomb shape that adsorbs evaporated fuel; and a housing chamber that houses the adsorber, wherein the canister comprises: an outer passage, provided in the housing chamber, that passes over an outer surface of the adsorber; and a flow passage that sequentially passes through the outer passage and the adsorber as a flow passage for the evaporated fuel to pass through the housing chamber. 2 . The canister according to claim 1 , wherein the outer passage comprises a narrowing portion in which a flow passage area is gradually reduced from upstream toward downstream of a flow of the evaporated fuel. 3 . The canister according to claim 1 , further comprising: a first chamber that houses an adsorbent; a second chamber that houses an adsorbent; and a third chamber as the housing chamber, wherein the canister comprises a flow passage that passes through housing spaces where the adsorbents are housed in the first chamber and the second chamber, and through the adsorber and the outer passage in the third chamber. 4 . The canister according to claim 3 , wherein the adsorbents are activated carbon. 5 . The canister according to claim 1 , wherein the adsorber comprises a carbon material.
