Abstract

The tube has a tubular sleeve (6) including two orifices coupled to one of ends of conduits (18, 19) whose other ends are connected to an upper part of a fuel tank (1) and a vent (4). The sleeve presents an extension (14) whose free end, in a closing position of a closure (8), extends beyond the orifices and forms a free space (15) between the extension and an internal wall of the sleeve for communicating the orifices. The free end of the extension includes an O-ring to isolate the free space in a sealed manner.

Description

L'invention concerne un nable de remplissage pour réservoir, notamment pour un réservoir de carburant destiné à un bateau.The invention relates to a filler for tank, especially for a fuel tank for a boat.

Généralement, les réservoirs de carburant sur les bateaux sont équipés, d'une part, d'un conduit relié à un nable de remplissage et, d'autre part, d'une conduite de dégazage reliée à un évent.Generally, 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.

Au cours du remplissage, dès que le réservoir est plein, le carburant remonte par la conduite d'évent d'un diamètre plus petit que le conduit de remplissage et le carburant en surplus s'échappe par ledit évent, causant une perte et une pollution.During filling, as soon as the tank is full, the fuel rises through the vent pipe of a diameter smaller than the filling pipe and surplus fuel escapes through the vent, causing loss and pollution. .

C'est pourquoi l'inventeur a déjà imaginé un dispositif, notamment décrit dans le document WO-02/33360 A2 , qui comporte un récipient disposé entre le réservoir et l'évent et qui permet de signaler le remplissage complet du réservoir afin d'éviter tout débordement.This is why the inventor has already imagined a device, in particular described in the document WO-02/33360 A2 , which comprises a container disposed between the tank and the vent and which makes it possible to signal the complete filling of the tank to prevent overflow.

Bien que ce dispositif donne entière satisfaction, l'inventeur propose un nouveau dispositif destiné à éviter l'évacuation du surplus de carburant par l'évent.Although this device is entirely satisfactory, the inventor proposes a new device for preventing the evacuation of excess fuel through the vent.

Si l'invention concerne plus particulièrement un nable pour réservoir de carburant d'un bateau, elle concerne aussi d'autres types de réservoirs, de carburant ou non.If the invention relates more particularly to a fuel tank for a boat, it also relates to other types of tanks, fuel or not.

Le dispositif proposé par l'invention est obtenu par une conception simple et innovante du nable de remplissage d'un réservoir, comportant de manière connue un manchon tubulaire destiné à être relié par une de ses extrémités au réservoir et un bouchon prévu pour obturer de manière étanche l'autre extrémité, dite de remplissage, dudit manchon, mais qui est notamment remarquable en ce que le manchon est pourvu de deux orifices destinés à être reliés chacun à l'une des extrémités d'une conduite dont l'autre extrémité est destinée à être reliée, pour l'une des conduites, à la partie supérieure du réservoir, et pour l'autre conduite, à un évent, et en ce que le bouchon présente un prolongement dont l'extrémité libre en position de fermeture du bouchon va au-delà des orifices du manchon, ledit prolongement formant un passage entre lui et la paroi interne du manchon, prévu pour permettre la mise en communication des deux orifices du manchon tandis que ladite extrémité libre du prolongement est pourvue d'un moyen d'étanchéité qui permet d'isoler de manière étanche ledit passage ainsi formé.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.

Avantageusement, le manchon et le prolongement du bouchon sont cylindriques et le passage entre ledit prolongement et la paroi interne du manchon est obtenu par un diamètre réduit dudit prolongement par rapport au diamètre intérieur du manchon.Advantageously, 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.

De préférence, les orifices du manchon sont pourvus chacun d'un moyen de raccordement tel un taraudage destiné à recevoir un raccord pour la connexion de la conduite correspondante.Preferably, 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.

L'invention sera bien comprise et d'autres particularités apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre et qui se réfère aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 illustre schématiquement l'art antérieur,
  • la figure 2 montre un nable selon l'invention, mis en place et en position ouverte de remplissage et donc sans bouchon,
  • la figure 3 montre la même installation que celle de la figure 2 en position fermée, le nable étant donc ici obturé par son bouchon,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe du nable de la figure 2 en position ouverte,
  • la figure 5 est une vue en coupe du nable de la figure 3 en position fermée,
  • la figure 6 est une vue de dessus du bouchon du nable de la figure 5.
The invention will be well understood and other features will appear on reading the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 schematically illustrates the prior art,
  • the figure 2 shows a nable according to the invention, put in place and in open filling position and therefore without plug,
  • the figure 3 shows the same installation as that of the figure 2 in the closed position, the nable being here closed off by its plug,
  • the figure 4 is a sectional view of the sand of the figure 2 in open position,
  • the figure 5 is a sectional view of the sand of the figure 3 in closed position,
  • the figure 6 is a top view of the plug of the sand of the figure 5 .

La figure 1 illustre schématiquement l'art antérieur classique en représentant un réservoir 1, par exemple de carburant pour un bateau, équipé à sa partie supérieure d'une conduite 3 reliée à un évent 4 et d'un conduit de remplissage 2, lui-même pourvu d'un nable de remplissage 5'.The figure 1 illustrates schematically 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 provided with 'a filling pad 5'.

Le nable de remplissage 5' comporte un manchon 6' fixé par une de ses extrémités sur le conduit de remplissage 2, par exemple au moyen de colliers 7. Le manchon 6' du nable 5' est obturable par son autre extrémité, dite de remplissage, par un bouchon 8'.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 '.

Le manchon 6' est fixé sur un support tel le pont 9 du bateau, l'évent 4 débouchant par exemple dans la coque dudit bateau.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.

On comprend aisément qu'en position d'obturation telle que représentée sur la figure 1, la conduite 3 et l'évent 4 permettent un dégazage du réservoir 1.It is easy to understand that in the closed position as shown in FIG. figure 1 , the pipe 3 and the vent 4 allow degassing of the tank 1.

Pour le remplissage de ce dispositif classique, on enlève le bouchon 8' et on comprend qu'une fois le réservoir plein, le carburant remonte par la conduite 3 d'évent et s'échappe, ou peut s'échapper par l'évent 4 avant même que le pistolet de remplissage ne s'arrête lorsque celui-ci est muni d'un système d'arrêt par contre-pression, ce qui entraîne non seulement une perte de carburant, mais aussi une pollution à la sortie de l'évent, généralement directement dans l'eau pour notre exemple de bateau.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.

Les figures 2 à 6 montrent un nable selon l'invention, les figures 2 et 3 illustrant une installation du type de celle de la figure 1.The Figures 2 to 6 show a nable according to the invention, the Figures 2 and 3 illustrating an installation of the type of figure 1 .

C'est pourquoi dans les figures 2 et 3 on retrouve les mêmes éléments connus et portant les mêmes références, à savoir un réservoir 1 muni d'un conduit de remplissage 2 relié ici au pont 9 d'un bateau par un nable de remplissage qui est toutefois ici conforme à l'invention, relié comme il sera expliqué ci-après à un évent 4.This is why in Figures 2 and 3 we find the same known elements and bearing the same references, namely a tank 1 provided with a filling duct 2 connected here to the deck 9 of a boat by a filler which is here however in accordance with the invention, connected as will be explained below to a vent 4.

Le nable selon l'invention, référencé 5 pour le distinguer du nable 5' de l'art antérieur, comporte aussi un manchon référencé ici 6 (figures 2 à 5) fixé au conduit de remplissage 2 (figures 2 et 3) par une extrémité 6a, par exemple comme précédemment par des colliers 7, et qui est obturable à son extrémité de remplissage 6b par un bouchon 8 (figures 3, 5 et 6). Le bouchon 8 est à cet effet pourvu classiquement d'un moyen de prise pour être manoeuvré, telle l'empreinte en creux représentée sur la figure 6.The nable according to the invention, referenced 5 to distinguish it from the 5 'nable of the prior art, also comprises a sleeve referenced here 6 ( Figures 2 to 5 ) attached to the filling duct 2 ( Figures 2 and 3 ) by an 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 to be operated, such as the indentation represented on the figure 6 .

Par contre, contrairement à l'art antérieur et comme le montrent bien les figures 4 et 5, le manchon 6 est pourvu de deux orifices 10 et 11 sur lesquels en outre ici on a fixé, par exemple par vissage, des raccords respectivement 12 et 13, les orifices 10 et 11 étant pourvus à cet effet de taraudages.On the other hand, contrary to the prior art and as the Figures 4 and 5 , the sleeve 6 is provided with two orifices 10 and 11 on which here, for example, by screwing, connectors 12 and 13 are respectively fixed, the orifices 10 and 11 being provided for this purpose with threads.

Les orifices 10 et 11 sont disposés dans cet exemple en dessous l'un de l'autre sur une génératrice du manchon 6.The orifices 10 and 11 are arranged in this example below one another on a generatrix of the sleeve 6.

Le bouchon 8 de nable est ici pourvu d'un prolongement 14 et comme le montre mieux la figure 5, ledit prolongement 14 présente sur au moins une partie de sa longueur un diamètre extérieur qui est inférieur au diamètre intérieur du manchon 6 de manière à créer en position d'obturation (figure 5) un espace libre 15 entre lui et la paroi interne dudit manchon 6.The plug 8 of sand is here provided with an extension 14 and as best shown by the figure 5 said extension 14 has on at least part of its length an outside diameter which is smaller than the inside diameter of the sleeve 6 so as to create in the closed position ( figure 5 ) a free space 15 between it and the inner wall of said sleeve 6.

En outre, le prolongement 14 est pourvu à son extrémité d'un moyen d'étanchéité tel un joint torique 16, un joint 17 du même genre étant aménagé classiquement dans la partie haute du bouchon 8 afin d'assurer une obturation étanche au niveau de l'extrémité de remplissage 6b du manchon 6.In addition, the 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.

Les dimensions du prolongement 14 sont choisies pour que le joint 16 soit situé en position de fermeture du nable (figure 5) au-delà de l'orifice 11 le plus éloigné de l'extrémité de remplissage 6b du manchon 6.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.

De la sorte, on comprend qu'en position de fermeture le passage 15 qui est isolé de manière étanche permet de mettre en communication les orifices 10 et 11 et par le fait les raccords 12 et 13.In this way, it will be understood that in the closed position the passage 15 which is sealingly isolated makes it possible to put in communication the orifices 10 and 11 and thus the connectors 12 and 13.

Comme le montrent bien les figures 2 et 3, les raccords 12 et 13 sont reliés chacun respectivement à l'une des extrémités des conduites 18 et 19.As the Figures 2 and 3 , the connectors 12 and 13 are each connected respectively to one end of the pipes 18 and 19.

Les conduites 18 et 19 sont reliées par leurs autres extrémités respectivement, pour la conduite 18, à l'évent 4, et pour la conduite 19, à la partie supérieure du réservoir 1, comme le montrent bien les figures 2 et 3.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 by the Figures 2 and 3 .

Le fonctionnement est désormais simple à comprendre.Operation is now easy to understand.

En position ouverte de remplissage représentée à la figure 2, le pistolet de remplissage est introduit dans le manchon 6 et lorsque le réservoir est plein, le carburant remonte dans le conduit 2 et la conduite 19.In the open filling position shown in FIG. figure 2 , the filling gun is introduced into the sleeve 6 and when the tank is full, the fuel rises in the conduit 2 and the pipe 19.

Le carburant en surplus peut ainsi retourner de la conduite 19 dans le conduit 2, sans aucun risque de débordement par l'évent 4, contrairement à l'art antérieur, le pistolet de remplissage pouvant classiquement s'arrêter par un système classique de contre-pression.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.

Dans la position de fermeture représentée à la figure 3, le conduit 2 est parfaitement obturé de manière étanche par le bouchon 8, tandis que le dégazage du réservoir 1 s'effectue par la conduite 19, le passage 15, la conduite 18 et l'évent 4.In the closed position represented at figure 3 , the duct 2 is perfectly sealed by the plug 8, while the degassing of the tank 1 is effected by the pipe 19, the passage 15, the duct 18 and the vent 4.

En quelque sorte une conduite d'évent est réalisée comme il vient d'être expliqué, par les éléments selon l'invention 19, 15 et 18.In a way, a vent pipe is made as just explained by the elements according to the invention 19, 15 and 18.

Si le mode de réalisation décrit concerne plus particulièrement un réservoir de carburant pour bateau, il peut bien sûr s'agir de tout autre application telle que des réservoirs de carburant pour d'autres types de véhicules ou engins, mais aussi pour d'autres types de réservoirs de liquides nécessitant un dégazage ou une aération.If 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.

Par ailleurs, des modifications peuvent être apportées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications.Furthermore, modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims.

C'est ainsi par exemple que le passage 15 peut être obtenu autrement que par un rétrécissement du prolongement 14 et notamment, par exemple, au moyen d'une simple rainure longitudinale combinée avec un positionnement angulaire précis du bouchon en position de fermeture, ou combinée avec des rainures circonférentielles au niveau des orifices.For example, the passage 15 can be obtained otherwise than by a narrowing of the extension 14 and in particular, for example, by means of a simple longitudinal groove combined with precise angular positioning of the plug in the closed position, or combined with circumferential grooves at the openings.

De même, les orifices 10 et 11 du manchon 6, peuvent être disposés à d'autres endroits sur ledit manchon que les endroits représentés sur les dessins du mode de réalisation donné ici à titre d'exemple.Similarly, 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.
