Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filler for tank, especially for a fuel tank for a boat.
  • the fuel tanks on the boats are equipped, on the one hand, with a conduit connected to a filler and on the other hand, a degassing pipe connected to a vent.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a fuel tank for a boat, it also relates to other types of tanks, fuel or not.
  • the device proposed by the invention is obtained by a simple and innovative design of the filler of a tank, comprising in known manner a tubular sleeve intended to be connected by one of its ends to the tank and a plug designed to seal sealing the other end, said filling, said sleeve, but which is notable in that the sleeve is provided with two orifices intended to be each connected to one end of a pipe whose other end is intended to be connected, for one of the pipes, to the upper part of the tank, and for the other pipe, to a vent, and in that the cap has an extension whose free end in the closed position of the cap goes beyond the orifices of the sleeve, said extension forming a passage between it and the inner wall of the sleeve, provided to allow the communication of the two holes of the sleeve while the This free end of the extension is provided with a sealing means which makes it possible to seal said passage thus formed.
  • the sleeve and the extension of the cap are cylindrical and the passage between said extension and the inner wall of the sleeve is obtained by a reduced diameter of said extension relative to the inside diameter of the sleeve.
  • the orifices of the sleeve are each provided with a connection means such as a tapping intended to receive a connection for the connection of the corresponding conduit.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the conventional prior art by showing a tank 1, for example of fuel for a boat, equipped at its upper part with a pipe 3 connected to a vent 4 and a filling pipe 2, itself even provided with a filling pad 5 '.
  • the filling n '5' comprises a sleeve 6 'fixed by one of its ends on the filling duct 2, for example by means of collars 7.
  • the sleeve 6' of the nable 5 ' is closable by its other end, said filling by a plug 8 '.
  • the sleeve 6 ' is fixed on a support such as the bridge 9 of the boat, the vent 4 opening for example in the hull of said boat.
  • the cap 8 For the filling of this conventional device, the cap 8 'is removed and it is understood that once the tank is full, the fuel goes up through the vent pipe 3 and escapes, or can escape through the vent 4 even before the filler gun stops when it is equipped with a back pressure system, which causes not only a loss of fuel, but also pollution at the outlet of the vent, usually directly in the water for our boat example.
  • Figures 2 to 6 show a nable according to the invention, Figures 2 and 3 illustrating an installation of the type of that of Figure 1.
  • the nable according to the invention also comprises a sleeve referenced here 6 ( Figures 2 to 5) attached to the filling duct 2 ( Figures 2 and 3) by one end 6a, for example as previously by collars 7, and which is closable at its filling end 6b by a plug 8 ( Figures 3, 5 and 6).
  • the cap 8 is for this purpose conventionally provided with a gripping means for being operated, such as the recessed impression shown in FIG. 6.
  • the sleeve 6 is provided with two orifices 10 and 11 on which here, for example, screws 12 and 13, the orifices 10 and 11 being provided for this purpose with threads.
  • the orifices 10 and 11 are arranged in this example below one another on a generatrix of the sleeve 6.
  • the plug 8 of sand is here provided with an extension 14 and as best shown in Figure 5, said extension 14 has on at least a part of its length an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeve 6 so as to create in the closed position (FIG. 5) a free space 15 between it and the inner wall of said sleeve 6.
  • extension 14 is provided at its end with a sealing means such as an O-ring 16, a seal 17 of the same type being arranged conventionally in the upper part of the plug 8 to ensure sealing at the level of the filling end 6b of the sleeve 6.
  • a sealing means such as an O-ring 16
  • seal 17 of the same type being arranged conventionally in the upper part of the plug 8 to ensure sealing at the level of the filling end 6b of the sleeve 6.
  • extension 14 The dimensions of the extension 14 are chosen so that the seal 16 is located in the closed position of the sand ( Figure 5) beyond the orifice 11 farthest from the filling end 6b of the sleeve 6.
  • the connectors 12 and 13 are each connected respectively to one end of the ducts 18 and 19.
  • the pipes 18 and 19 are connected by their other ends respectively, for the pipe 18, to the vent 4, and for the pipe 19, to the upper part of the tank 1, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the filling gun In the open filling position shown in FIG. 2, the filling gun is introduced into the sleeve 6 and when the reservoir is full, the fuel rises in the pipe 2 and the pipe 19.
  • the surplus fuel can thus return from the pipe 19 in the conduit 2, without any risk of overflow by the vent 4, unlike the prior art, the filling gun can typically stop by a conventional system of counter pressure.
  • the duct 2 In the closed position shown in FIG. 3, the duct 2 is perfectly sealed by the plug 8, while the degassing of the tank 1 takes place via the duct 19, the passage 15, the duct 18 and the vent 4.
  • the embodiment described relates more particularly to a boat fuel tank, it may of course be any other application such as fuel tanks for other types of vehicles or machines, but also for other types liquid tanks requiring degassing or aeration.
  • the passage 15 can be obtained otherwise than by a narrowing of the extension 14 and in particular, for example, by means of a single longitudinal groove combined with precise angular positioning of the plug in the closed position, or combined with circumferential grooves at the openings.
  • the orifices 10 and 11 of the sleeve 6 may be disposed at other locations on said sleeve than the locations shown in the drawings of the embodiment given here by way of example.
