Abstract

Moped and motor cycle tank lid with an integrated level indicator via a viewing window with a green marking ball operated by a plastic hose with a float. The green marking ball in the viewing window indicates, when it is no longer visible, a 50% drop in the level of the contents of a tank. The indication takes place via floats which, in the plastic hose which is in turn attached to the underside of the tank lid and extends into the tank, record each level by the buoyancy and as a result either press the marking ball into the viewing window or do not.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen, Moped und Motorradtankdeckel mit intigrierter Füllstandsanzeige über Sichtfenster mit grüner Markierungskugel, durch Plastikschlauch mit Schwimmer, insbesondere zur optischen Vermittlung von Füllständen, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a, moped and motorcycle tank cap with integrated level indicator via viewing window with green marker ball, through plastic tube with float, especially for the optical conveyance of fill levels, according to the preamble of claim 1.

An den Einfüllstutzen von Moped und Motorradtanks, müssen dazu passende Tankdeckel diese verschließen, um den Inhalt gegen mögliche Verluste durch, z. B. verdampfen des Benzin­ gemischs zu sichern.At the filler neck of the moped and motorcycle tanks Matching fuel filler caps to close the contents against possible losses due to e.g. B. evaporate the gasoline secure mixed.

Es ist bekannt, das es zur Erfüllung dieser Erfordernisse Tankdeckel verschiedener Arten gibt, z. B.: abschließbare Tankdeckel, Tankdeckel mit Entlüftung.It is known that it can meet these needs There are different types of fuel caps, e.g. E.g .: lockable Fuel filler cap, fuel filler cap with ventilation.

Um festzustellen, wieviel Benzin der Tank noch enthält, muß der Tankdeckel abgeschraubt werden, um nachsehen zu können.To determine how much gasoline is left in the tank, the fuel cap must be unscrewed to see can.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb folgende Aufgabe zugrunde, ohne das der Tankdeckel abgeschraubt werden muß, festzustellen können wieviel Inhalt der Tank noch enthält.The invention is therefore based on the following object, without having to unscrew the fuel cap how much content the tank still contains.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsmäßigen Einrichtung, durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. This task is carried out in a generic institution, solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.  

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß der Tankinhalt registriert und durch eine Anzeige bzw. eine grüne Markierungskugel im Sichtfenster des Tankdeckels angezeigt wird:
Sobald die grüne Anzeige im Sichtfenster verschwindet, ist die erste Hälfte einer Tankfüllung aufgebraucht.
The advantages achieved by the invention consist in particular in that the tank content is registered and indicated by an indicator or a green marker ball in the viewing window of the tank cap:
As soon as the green display disappears in the window, the first half of a tank is used up.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, daß man nicht vom ausgehen des Motors wegen Treibstoffmangel, durch die Reserveschaltung des Mopeds überrascht werden kann, was in heutigen Verkehrsverhältnissen unter Umständen problematisch sein kann. Bei Verschwinden der Anzeige, sind ca. eine viertel Tank­ füllung bis zur Reserveschaltung des Mopeds, und dies alles kann man über das Sichtfenster im Tankdeckel fest­ stellen ohne diesen abschrauben zu müssen.Another advantage is that you do not start from the Motors due to lack of fuel, by the reserve circuit of the moped can be surprised at what is in today Traffic conditions can be problematic under certain circumstances. When the display disappears, there are about a quarter of the tank filling up to reserve the moped, and all of that can be fixed in the tank cap through the window without unscrewing it.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung weitergehend erläutert, es zeigtIn the drawing, the invention is further explains, it shows

Abb. 1, die Seitenansicht vom Tankdeckel mit intigrierter Füllstandsanzeige, Plastikschlauch mit grüner Markierungskugel und Schwimmern, M1:1 Fig. 1, the side view of the tank cap with integrated level indicator, plastic tube with green marker ball and floats, M1: 1

Abb. 2, die Frontansicht vom Tankdeckel, deutlich zu sehen das runde Sichtfenster, M1:1. Fig. 2, the front view of the fuel cap, clearly showing the round window, M1: 1.

Der Tankdeckel in Abb. 1, besteht aus dem Plastikschlauch 1 der flexibel, sich aber nicht knicken läßt und sich gut den Unebenheiten in Mopedtanks einpaßt, ohne dabei seinen Innendurchmesser zu verringern, so daß die Schwimmer 2 die zylindrisch und mit Luft gefüllt sind im Plastik­ schlauch frei beweglich sich je nach Füllstand im Tank, die grüne Markierungskugel 3 nach oben, also Richtung Sichtfenster 4 wo diese sichtbar wird, oder nach unten leiten wobei sie dann aus dem Sichtfenster 4 verschwindet. The fuel filler cap in Fig. 1 consists of the plastic hose 1 which is flexible, but cannot be kinked and fits well into the bumps in moped tanks without reducing its inside diameter, so that the floats 2 are cylindrical and filled with air in the plastic Depending on the level in the tank, the hose moves freely, the green marking ball 3 upwards, i.e. towards the viewing window 4 where it is visible, or downwards, in which case it disappears from the viewing window 4 .

Bei einem nur bis zu 50% gefüllten Tank reicht der Auftrieb den Schwimmern 2 nicht mehr aus die grüne Markierungskugel 3 in das Sichtfenster 4 zu drücken, und sie verschwindet, das sagt aus daß die erste Hälfte, also 50% einer Tankfüllung verbraucht ist.In the case of a tank which is only filled up to 50%, the float is no longer sufficient for the floats 2 to press the green marking ball 3 into the viewing window 4 , and it disappears, which means that the first half, ie 50% of a tank filling, has been used up.

Der Drahtstift 5 verhindert, daß die Schwimmer beim herausnehmen des Tankdeckels z. B. zum Tanken herausfallen, läßt aber immer noch eine genügend große Öffnung so daß für die Schwimmer genügend Auftrieb durch den, in den Schlauch einströmende Treibstoff gewährleistet wird.The wire pin 5 prevents the float when removing the fuel cap z. B. fall out for refueling, but still leaves a sufficiently large opening so that sufficient buoyancy is ensured for the swimmers by the fuel flowing into the hose.

Der Tankdeckel in Abb. 2, zeigt die Frontansicht, und das Sichtfenster 4.The fuel cap in Fig. 2 shows the front view and the viewing window 4 .
