Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fixing a fuel trap assembly. More particularly, the invention relates to a device for fixing a fuel filler assembly for a vehicle and advantageously for a motor vehicle.
  • the fuel traps are secured to a hinge assembly comprising a movable knuckle and a fixed knuckle, the latter being directly embedded in the bottom of the bowl secured to the body.
  • the main purpose of the bowl is to guide the fuel filler nozzle to the filler port.
  • this device does not allow an optimization of the centering symmetry between the hatch and the body, so that the clearance visible between the hatch and the bodywork is variable from one vehicle to the other. other, which affects the aesthetics of the vehicle. Centering these two parts relative to each other then requires an additional operation. This centering operation can be long and therefore expensive if one wishes to obtain an optimum end product. It is an object of the invention to provide a device for attaching a fuel filler assembly adjusted quickly and simply to achieve optimum centering of the fuel filler assembly vis-à-vis the bodywork.
  • a device for attaching a fuel filler assembly to a bodywork of a vehicle comprising a body side provided with a cavity at the bottom of which is located a fuel filling orifice, the hatch assembly being composed of a hatch panel, a movable knuckle and a fixed knuckle, the cavity comprising at least one docking edge adapted to receive the set of hatch on at least a portion of the periphery of the cavity.
  • the fixed knuckle comprises at least one substantially plane flange adapted to bear on at least a substantially flat portion of said docking edge of the body side.
  • edges including depressions and coinciding with each other.
  • the cavity comprises at least two docking edges on opposite sides of said cavity.
  • the fixed knuckle comprises at least one orifice, in alignment with at least one orifice of at least one docking edge, the orifices being able to receive a fastening element.
  • the previously drilled orifices then favor the adjustment of the parts, the fixed knuckle then being positioned centered with respect to the periphery of the cavity.
  • the fixed knuckle comprises at least four orifices, in alignment with at least four orifices of at least one docking edge, the orifices being able to receive a fastening element.
  • the multiplication of orifices thus allows on the one hand a better support of the fixed knuckle and on the other hand an optimum centering.
  • the fastening element is a rivet.
  • the person skilled in the art could advantageously use any securing means that he / she would consider suitable, such as, for example, a screw nut device.
  • At least one of the following parts, the fixed knuckle, the movable knuckle or the hatch panel, is metal. It is therefore easy to understand that the assembly can be made of metal.
  • the production of metal parts in particular reduces the cost of production and assembly of the entire fuel door.
  • At least one of parts is made of a plastic or composite material.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the assembly of the invention according to a particular embodiment. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, it is a fuel trap assembly 10 on a bodywork of a vehicle comprising a body side 20. The latter is provided with a cavity 23 provided with a fuel filling port 22.
  • the hatch assembly 10 is composed of a hatch panel 12, a movable knuckle 14 and a fixed knuckle 16.
  • the cavity 23 provided with the filling orifice 22 comprises on its periphery two docking edges 24 and 24 '. These are able to receive the hatch assembly 10 and more particularly the fixed knuckle 16 described below.
  • the fixed knuckle 16 comprises two flanges 16 'and 16 ", substantially planar, which bear on the corresponding substantially planar portions of the docking edges 24 and 24' of the body side 20.
  • the two docking edges 24 and 24 ' being located on opposite sides of said cavity 23 and more precisely near the lower and upper edges of the cavity in the example shown.
  • the fixed knuckle 16 comprises four orifices 18, 18', 18 "and 18 '” in alignment with four orifices 26, 26 ', 26 “and 26' 'distributed over the mating edges 24 and 24', the orifices 18, 26, 18 ', 26', 18", 26 ", 18 '” and 26 '”are secured in pairs by a rivet, one could also find other modes of joining such as by screwing.
  • the hatch panel 12, the movable knuckle 14 and the fixed knuckle 16 are made of a metallic material, but other construction materials such as for example plastic could be envisaged.
