Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flap valve mechanism in an open-close device for fuel tank includes an open-close member, a shaft support mechanism, a spring and a gasket. The shaft support mechanism includes bearing members and a rotation restricting mechanism. The rotation restricting mechanism includes restricting elements and restricted elements to be engaged with the restricting elements. At a first position, the restricting elements are engaged with the restricted elements, so that the open-close member is moved in a direction of warping the gasket. At a second position, the restricting elements are disengaged from the restricted elements, so that the open-close member is rotated about shaft members.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An open-close device for fuel tank configured to open and close a fuel passage for supplying a fuel discharged from a refueling nozzle to a fuel tank, the open-close device comprising: a tubular body having a tube main body configured to form the fuel passage; a valve support member having: a valve support main body in a cylindrical shape to be inserted into the tube main body; and a filler port configured to define part of the fuel passage; and a…
