Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an apparatus for fixing a reservoir body assembly of a fuel pump module into a fuel tank. The apparatus includes: a fixed retainer fixed into the fuel tank to be integrated with the fuel tank; and a moving coupled retainer coupled with the fixed retainer in a state in which a reservoir body assembly pumping fuel in the fuel tank is disposed at an assembling location with the fixed retainer to mount the reservoir body assembly so as to fix the reservoir body assembly.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for fixing a component of a fuel pump module into a fuel tank, comprising: a fixed retainer fixed into a fuel tank to be integrated with the fuel tank; and a moving coupled retainer coupled with the fixed retainer and a reservoir body assembly in a state in which the reservoir body assembly pumping fuel in the fuel tank is disposed at an assembling location with the fixed retainer to mount the reservoir body assembly so as to fix the reservoir body assembly, wherein the moving coupled retainer is separated in a state in which the moving coupled retainer is coupled with the fixed retainer and the reservoir body assembly, a hanging protrusion formed in the moving coupled retainer is hanged to a groove formed in the fixed retainer to prevent the moving coupled retainer from separating, and a protrusion formed in the moving coupled retainer is inserted into a groove formed in an inner direction of the reservoir body assembly to prevent the moving coupled retainer from moving left and right, and upward. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a lever is formed in the moving coupled retainer and an effect of preventing a separation of the moving coupled retainer or separating the moving coupled retainer by the hanging protrusion is generated by moving the lever. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when the reservoir body assembly is disposed at the assembling location with the fixed retainer to mount the reservoir body assembly, the fixed retainer is provided with a protrusion type coupling guide inserted into the groove which is formed in the inner direction of the reservoir body assembly.
