Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an fuel-feeding funnel used in supplying a tank with fuel.
  • a backhoe as an example of conventional running work vehicles includes a fuel tank mounted in a hood housing an engine, a radiator, etc.
  • the fuel tank has an fuel-feeding inlet, when formed in a side surface of the hood, by providing a recess in the hood so as not to project from an outer surface of the hood to allow an opening end of the fuel-feeding inlet to be positioned within the recess.
  • a funnel for feeding liquid from an inlet having a small diameter.
  • a funnel has an upper conic funnel body and a lower guide tube connected to the bottom of the funnel body (see Japanese Unexamined Utility Mode Application Publication No. 63-197898 or GB 280, 504).
  • the funnel While the fuel-feeding inlet, when provided in the side surface of the hood, is inclined to open obliquely upward, the funnel is formed to allow the center line of a fuel-input opening of the funnel body to coincide with the axis of the guide tube.
  • the guide tube is simply inserted into the fuel-feeding inlet.
  • the opening direction of the fuel-feeding inlet is aligned with the opening direction of the fuel-input opening of the funnel body, which disadvantageously makes it difficult for the operator to feed fuel from the fuel-input opening of the funnel if the inclined angle of the fuel-feeding inlet is small (45 degrees or less, for example).
  • the funnel is formed to allow the fuel-input opening to be directed upward with respect to the opening direction of the fuel-feeding inlet with the guide tube of the funnel being inserted into the upwardly inclined fuel-feeding inlet.
  • the operator might be forced to lift a heavy portable fuel container to feed fuel to the funnel, which requires a great deal of labor, and thus might place the fuel container on the fuel-input opening of the funnel.
  • one aspect of the present invention provides an fuel-feeding funnel taking into consideration facilitation of fuel supply when fuel is fed from a portable fuel container to an inclined fuel-feeding inlet that is open obliquely upward.
  • a characteristic feature of the fuel-feeding funnel according to the present invention including a fuel-input opening and applicable to an inclined fuel-feeding inlet opened obliquely upward lies in that the oil-feeding funnel is configured to be retained against rotation by a mounting portion for receiving a tank cap for lidding the fuel-feeding inlet and attached to the fuel-feeding inlet, and that the fuel-input opening is configured to be directed upward relative to the opening direction of the fuel-feeding inlet with the funnel being attached to the fuel-feeding inlet.
  • the fuel-feeding funnels is retained against rotation by a mounting portion for receiving a tank cap for lidding the fuel-feeding inlet and attached to the fuel-feeding inlet.
  • a mounting portion for receiving a tank cap for lidding the fuel-feeding inlet and attached to the fuel-feeding inlet.
  • the funnel comprises a straight tubular guide tube made of rigid material to be attached to the fuel-feeding inlet, and a funnel body having the fuel-input opening and made of elastic material; the funnel body has a tube inserting groove formed therein, into which an upper side portion of the guide tube in the axial direction thereof is inserted, thereby to connect the funnel body to the guide tube; and an inserting margin of the guide tube relative to the tube inserting groove is greater at an upper side of a radial direction than at a lower side of the radial direction.
  • the inserting margin of the guide tube relative to the tube inserting groove is greater at the upper side of the radial direction than at the lower side of the radial direction.
  • the funnel is attached to the fuel-feeding inlet when a lower end portion of the guide tube is inserted into the fuel-feeding inlet and rotated in a circumferential direction by a predetermined angle, thereby to retain the guide tube against rotation and allow the fuel-input opening to be directed upward relative to the opening direction of the fuel-feeding inlet.
  • the funnel is attached to the fuel-feeding inlet when a lower end portion of the guide tube is inserted into the fuel-feeding inlet and rotated in a circumferential direction by a predetermined angle, thereby to retain the guide tube against rotation and allow the fuel-input opening to be directed upward relative to the opening direction of the fuel-feeding inlet, the fuel-feeding funnel can be easily attached.
  • numeral 1 denotes a backhoe 1 including a lower propelling vehicle body 2 and an upper swivel body 3.
  • the propelling vehicle body 2 is a crawler-type propelling device acting as a roller-type propelling device, for example, having a front-side idler 5, a rear-side sprocket 6, roller wheels 7 provided between the front-side idler 5 and the rear-side sprocket 6, and an endless crawler belt 8 wound around those elements.
  • the swivel body 3 includes a swivel deck 10 supported to be pivotable about a vertical swiveling axis through a swivel bearing 9, a cabin 11 mounted on the swivel deck 10, an engine mounted rearwardly of the swivel deck 10, a hood 12 for covering a radiator and the like, and an excavating work implement 13 mounted forwardly of the swivel deck.
