Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fuel tank comprises a circular column-shaped fuel tank body, a handle, and a lock mechanism. The circular column-shaped fuel tank body is provided so as to be capable of being detachably attached to a fuel-powered device. The handle is formed on one end side in a length direction of the fuel tank body. The lock mechanism is capable of switching between a locked state in which the fuel tank body cannot be removed from the fuel-powered device, and a lock-released state in which the locked state has been released, due to the fuel tank body being rotated in a circumferential direction in a state of being installed to the fuel-powered device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A fuel tank comprising: a circular column-shaped fuel tank body provided so as to be capable of being detachably attached to a fuel-powered device; a handle formed on one end side in a length direction of the fuel tank body; and a lock mechanism that is capable of switching between a locked state in which the fuel tank body cannot be removed from the fuel-powered device, and a lock-released state in which the locked state has been released, due to the fuel tank body being rotated in a circumferential direction in a state of being installed to the fuel-powered device. 2 . The fuel tank of claim 1 , further comprising: a recess indented in the length direction on the one length direction end side of the fuel tank body, wherein the handle is provided inside the recess. 3 . The fuel tank of claim 2 , wherein the recess is formed in a cover member that is capable of being detachably attached to the fuel tank body. 4 . The fuel tank of claim 1 , wherein the handle is integrally provided at the fuel tank body. 5 . The fuel tank of claim 1 , wherein the handle is provided so as not to project out from an end face on the one end side of the fuel tank body. 6 . The fuel tank of claim 1 , wherein the handle is formed so as to extend in a long thin shape along a radial direction of the fuel tank body. 7 . The fuel tank of claim 1 , further comprising a remaining fuel level display section configured to display a remaining level of fuel in the fuel tank body. 8 . The fuel tank of claim 7 , wherein the remaining fuel level display section is provided at a position visible from outside the fuel-powered device in a state in which the fuel tank body has been installed to the fuel-powered device.
