lClLtUllUlllill. lllllEl/lllClE IESPIECHALM( EUR lFllJlllL .ltllillll 'WATER TANKS The present invention relates to a closure device, especially for fuel tanks, water tanks and the like in motor boats and the like.
ln motor boats the refill opening for a fuel tank or a fresh water tank usually opens from the deck level. Said opening is usually tighted by a threaded plug of suitable form which seals the opening to the penetration of rain water or sea water. ln order to avoid upwardly projecting objects from a smooth deck surface the threaded closure plug is usually lowered into the deck. therwise, such projecting objects would easily cause stumbling or other damages. Said closure plug is usually provided with a key socket. A key socket of that kind may have the form of a hexagonal recess or of' two or more bores into which a claw-shaped key can be inserted. Therefore, it is necessary to have access to a fitting key when the plug should be tightened or loosened.
The present invention relates to a device with a cover lid of the kind indicated above in which said drawback is eliminated and which also has other advantages in comparison with closure devices hitherto known.
The invention relates to a closure device for a refill opening especially for a fuel tank or a water tank in a boat or the like, comprising a threaded plug or twisting plug which is located in the refill opening and which has an upper surface that is plane and formed as or provided with a hinged grip device which in an upturned position serves as a grip for the loosening of the plug and removing it from the refill opening and for tightening the plug in said opening.
'lhe invention is mainly characterized by the fact that said grip is constituted by a sector-shaped disc which is lowered in a groove in the plug and pivoted around an axis which makes a right angle with the disc and which is located in such a manner near the point of the angle between the straight edges of said disc which constitute the radial edges of said sector shape, that in the lowered position of said disc, one of said straight edges is lying in level with the upper side of said plug and substantially fills the opening of the groove in which said disc is located, and in a raised position that edge of the disc which is opposite to said angle point, is turned upward and forms the upper edge of the grip which is formed by said disc.
ln the following the invention will be described more in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing in which lFlG. l is a top view of a closure device according to the invention.
FlG. Il is an axial section of the same device.
ln the drawing, l designates the upper end of a refill tube for a fuel tank, a water tank or the like, especially intended for a motorboat or the like. At the upper end thereof, the refill tube ll is provided with a collar 2 which is soldered or welded to the tube, said collar 2 having three countersunk bores or recesses F for fastening screws. The refill opening li is provided with a thread il at the inside of the tube in which a threaded plug d is fitted. The threaded plug 5 has a collar ti around its upper por tion which, when the plug is inserted in the tube, lies in the same plane as the upper surface of the collar 2. its shown in FlG. ll, the collar 2 of the refill opening is nearly plane but provided with a slightly conical upper edge portion so that it does not constitute any projecting object on the boat deck in which the closure device is located.
Around the threaded plug 5 and under its collar n an annular packing 'l' is located, and in operative position said packing is pressed against a flange h in the refill opening. Outside the flange fl there is a collar 9 which projects upwards outside the packing 7. Outside this cylindrical collar 9 there is an annular groove lli. This groove lltl is located under ft narrow slot tl which is provided between the collar u of the threaded plug 5 and the adjacent wall portion of the collar 2 of the refill opening l.
ln the threaded plug 5 there is also u rather broad groove l2. ln this groove l2 a grip in the form of a sector-shaped disc 113 is provided. rl`he disc can be rotated around an axis ld which is perpendicular to the disc and which is inserted from one side of the collar 2 of the refill opening as indicated in lFlG. ll. 'illle disc i3 can be rised from the position shown in full lines in lFlG. 2, in which one straight edge llS ofthe disc is lying in level with the upper surface of the threaded plug 5 to a position shown in dotted lines in FlG. 2,. in which the disc projects upwards and forms a grip by means of which the threaded plug d can be loosened and removed from and inserted into and tightened in the refill opening.
The disc i3 is relatively thin but has flanges 116 and ll'7 at its straight edges, said flanges being of substantially equal width as the groove l2.
The flange ll' has a weight which is so proportioned in relation to the weight ofthe flange liti, that the disc, from the position shown in dotted lines in FIG. 2, under the action of its own weight falls down back to the position shown in full lines in lFlG. 2, as soon as it is released by the hand. This is a great advantage because otherwise the disc may be left in the upright position and in that case it would constitute such a projecting object which could give rise to damages of the kind indicated in the foregoing.
rl`he disc lli can easily be brought to the position shown in dotted lines in FlG. 2, from the position shown in full lines in FlG. 2, by giving a light pressure by a finger to its portion 118, and thereafter lifting the disc.
lFrom the cylindrical groove lll) which collects water which flows down through the narrow groove llll when the plug is inserted, flow channels t9 lead out to the countersunk bores 3 for the fastening screws. lBy this arrangement it is avoided that water remains in the groove lll and runs down into the fuel tank or the fresh water tank as soon as the threaded plug is loosened.
A closure device according to the invention is very convenient to handle. Tlllere is no need to take care of a special key for opening of a threaded plug. The device according to the invention is always ready for use.
