Comme indique precedemment la presente invention stapplique en particulier aux reservoirs de carburant R a deux poches P1, P2, reliees a leur partie superieure, par un canal C, comme schematise sur les figures 2 et 3 annexees. Cependant, I'invention n'est pas limitee a ce mode de realisation particulier. Wile peut stappliquer a tous types de  As indicated above, the present invention applies in particular to fuel tanks R with two pockets P1, P2, connected to their upper part, by a channel C, as shown diagrammatically in Figures 2 and 3 attached. However, the invention is not limited to this particular embodiment. Wile can apply to all types of

On a ainsi schematise sur la figure 1, un bol de reserve 10 destine a etre associe a une pompe electrique integree au dispositif de puisage positionne dans le reservoir R. de sorte que ['entree de la pompe electrique aspire dans ce bol de reserve 10. Le bol de reserve 10 peut etre rempli par tous moyens connus appropries, par exemple a ['aide d'une pompe a jet alimentee par un etage de sortie de la pompe electrique ou encore par un trajet de retour de carburant non utilise par le moteur. Une tel le disposition est bien connue de l'homme de l'a rt et  There is thus shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, a reserve bowl 10 intended to be associated with an electric pump integrated into the drawing device positioned in the reservoir R. so that the inlet of the electric pump sucks in this reserve bowl 10 The reserve bowl 10 can be filled by any suitable known means, for example using a jet pump supplied by an output stage of the electric pump or by a return fuel path not used by the engine. Such an arrangement is well known to those skilled in the art and

ne sera pas decrite dans le detail par la suite.  will not be described in detail later.

On a represente sur la figure 4 une autre variante de realisation selon laquelle le dispositif de puisage comprend un simple conduit vertical 20 dont l'extremite inferieure est situee au voisinage du fond du reservoir et destinee a etre reliee, par son extremite superieure, a un  Another alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 4 according to which the drawing-off device comprises a simple vertical duct 20 the lower end of which is located in the vicinity of the bottom of the tank and intended to be connected, by its upper end, to a

dispositif d 'aspiration situe a l 'exterieu r du reservoir de ca rbu rant.  suction device located outside the fuel tank.

Bien entendu la presente invention peut egalement stappliquer a tout autre dispositif d'aspiration de carburant, en particulier mais non limitativement aux dispositifs de puisage de carburant comprenant une  Of course, the present invention can also apply to any other fuel suction device, in particular but not limited to fuel drawing devices comprising a

de vehicule automobile.motor vehicle.

Comme on l'a schematise sur les figures annexees, plus precisement encore, les elements de puisage 0, 20 vent le plus souvent indexes sur le fond du reservoir de carburant R. c'est-a-dire sollicites vers le fond du reservoir de carburant, par un ressort 32 lie a ltembase 30 pour permettre un puisage au plus teas du reservoir. Les dispositifs de puisage vent en outre generalement equipes  As shown schematically in the appended figures, even more precisely, the drawing elements 0, 20 are most often indexed on the bottom of the fuel tank R. That is to say, biased towards the bottom of the fuel tank. fuel, by a spring 32 linked to the base 30 to allow drawing as soon as possible from the tank. The drawing devices are also generally equipped

d'un dispositif de jaugeage.a gauging device.

On a schematise sur les figures annexees un dispositif de jaugeage 40 comprenant un botier 42 destine a etre fixe sur ['element du dispositif de puisage, indexe sur le fond. Le bo^rtier 42 loge un element electriquement isolant 44 qui porte au moins une piste eiectriquement resistive associee a un curseur deplace par un equipage mobile 46 lie par l'intermediaire d'un bras 48 a un flotteur 50 apte a  There is shown diagrammatically in the appended figures a gauging device 40 comprising a housing 42 intended to be fixed on the element of the drawing device, indexed on the bottom. The housing 42 houses an electrically insulating element 44 which carries at least one electrically resistive track associated with a cursor moved by a movable equipment 46 linked by the intermediary of an arm 48 to a float 50 capable of

Toutes ces dispositions eta nt connues en soi de l'homme de ['art,  All these provisions are known per se to those skilled in the art,

elles ne seront pas decrites plus en detail par la suite.  they will not be described in more detail later.

Comme indique precedemment, dans le cadre de la presente invention, le dispositif de puisage, c'est-a-dire le bol de reserve 10 selon la figure 1, le tuyau d'aspiration 20 selon la figure 4, est equipe d'une pipette 60 centree sur un axe 61, apte a cooperer avec un tuyau de liaison 70 muni d'un embout encliquetable 72 propre a definir une liaison etanche entre le tuyau 70 et la pipette 60 tout en autorisant une libre rotation relative entre le tuyeu 70 et la pipette 60, autour de l'axe 61 de cette derriere, pour permettre une libre orientation du tuyau 70  As indicated above, in the context of the present invention, the drawing device, that is to say the reserve bowl 10 according to FIG. 1, the suction pipe 20 according to FIG. 4, is equipped with a pipette 60 centered on an axis 61, capable of cooperating with a connecting pipe 70 provided with a snap-on tip 72 suitable for defining a sealed connection between the pipe 70 and the pipette 60 while allowing free relative rotation between the pipe 70 and the pipette 60, around the axis 61 of this behind, to allow free orientation of the pipe 70

par rapport au dispositif de puisage.  with respect to the drawing device.

On notera que de preference l'axe 73 de l'embout encliquetable 72 n'est pas parallele a l'axe 71 du tuyau 70. L'axe 73 de l'embout encliquetable 72 est ainsi avantageusement orthogonal a l'axe 71 du tuyau 70. En variante cependant l'axe 73 de l'embout 72 peut etre incline par l'axe 71 du tuyau 70 d'un angle compris entre 0 et 180 et  It will be noted that preferably the axis 73 of the snap-on end piece 72 is not parallel to the axis 71 of the pipe 70. The axis 73 of the snap-on end piece 72 is thus advantageously orthogonal to the axis 71 of the pipe 70. As a variant, however, the axis 73 of the end piece 72 can be inclined by the axis 71 of the pipe 70 at an angle between 0 and 180 and

different de 90 .different from 90.

Selon le mode de realisation represente sur la figure 1, la pipette est orientee verticalement sur le bol de reserve 10. Dans ce cas le  According to the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the pipette is oriented vertically on the reserve bowl 10. In this case the

tuyau de liaison 70 est susceptible de rotation autour d'un axe vertical.  connecting pipe 70 is capable of rotation about a vertical axis.

En revanche, selon le mode de realisation represente sur la figure 4, la pipette 60 fait saillie horizontalement sur la base du tuyau d'aspiration 20. Dans ce cas, le tuyau de liaison 70 est susceptible de rotation autour d'un axe horizontal. Bien entendu la pipette 60 peut prendre toute autre orientation  However, according to the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the pipette 60 projects horizontally on the base of the suction pipe 20. In this case, the connecting pipe 70 is capable of rotation about a horizontal axis. Of course the pipette 60 can take any other orientation

par rapport 3 la verticale et par rapport 3 l'horizontale.  relative to the vertical and relative to the horizontal.

L'embout encliquetable 72 peut lui-meme faire ltobjet de  The snap-on end piece 72 can itself be the object of

nombreux modes de realisation. Il comprend de preference un corps 76  many embodiments. It preferably includes a body 76

de dimensions superieures 3 la pipette 60, propre 3 chevaucher celle-ci, comme on le volt sur la figure 6. L'etancheite entre le corps 76 de l'embout encliquetable 72 et la pipette 60 peut etre assuree par tout  of larger dimensions 3 the pipette 60, clean 3 overlap it, as shown in FIG. 6. The seal between the body 76 of the snap-in tip 72 and the pipette 60 can be ensured by any

moyen approprie, par exemple un joint torique 78.  suitable means, for example an O-ring 78.

L'encliquetage et le maintien de la liaison entre le tuyau 70 et la pipette 60 peuvent etre assures par tout moyen approprie, par exemple 3 ['aide d'au moins une languette elastique 3 denture 74 solidaire de l'un de l'embout encliquetable 72 ou de la pipette 60 et propre 3 cooperer  Latching and maintaining the connection between the pipe 70 and the pipette 60 can be ensured by any suitable means, for example 3 ['using at least one elastic tongue 3 teeth 74 secured to one of the tip snap-in 72 or pipette 60 and clean 3 cooperate

avec une saillie 62 prevue sur l'autre de ces elements.  with a projection 62 provided on the other of these elements.

Selon la figure 4 on ainsi represente deux languettes d'encliquetage 74 solidaires de ltembout 72, propres 3 cooperer avec une saillie 62 solidaire de la pipette 60. Une disposition similaire est  According to FIG. 4, two latching tabs 74 thus secured to ltembout 72, proper 3, are thus shown to cooperate with a projection 62 secured to pipette 60. A similar arrangement is

illustree sur la figure 6.illustrated in figure 6.

Bien entendu la disposition inverse peut etre prevue. En d'autres termes, comme illustre sur la figure 7, on peut prevoir que la pipette 60 comprend un corps 66 propre a entourer et chevaucher, avec etancheite, l'embout 72 solidaire du tuyau de liaison 70, dans ce cas les languettes d'encliquetage 74 etant de preference prevues sur la pipette tandis que l'embout 72 solidaire du tuyau de liaison 70 comprend la  Of course the reverse arrangement can be expected. In other words, as illustrated in FIG. 7, it can be foreseen that the pipette 60 comprises a body 66 suitable for surrounding and overlapping, with sealing, the end piece 72 secured to the connecting pipe 70, in this case the tongues d 'snap 74 being preferably provided on the pipette while the nozzle 72 integral with the connecting pipe 70 comprises the

saillie complementaire 62.additional projection 62.

Le dispositif de puisage conforme 3 la presente invention permet en particulier, apres avoir assemble le tuyau 70 sur ledit appareil, d'aligner provisoirement le tuyau de liaison 70 sensiblement parallelement au bras 48 du dispositif de jaugeage, avant la mise en place dans le reservoir R. et ainsi d'introduire aisement ['ensemble appareil de puisage/tuyau de liaison 70 dans le reservoir comme illustre  The drawing device according to 3 the present invention allows in particular, after having assembled the pipe 70 on said device, to temporarily align the connecting pipe 70 substantially parallel to the arm 48 of the gauging device, before the establishment in the tank R. and thus to easily introduce the drawing-off device / connection pipe 70 into the tank as illustrated

sur les figures 2 et 3.in Figures 2 and 3.

Le tuyau 70 peut ensuite etre place dans sa position de service, par rotation autour de l'axe de la pipette 60. La structure conforme a la presente invention permet egalement de franchir aisement les eventuels obstacles situes dans le reservoir R  The pipe 70 can then be placed in its service position, by rotation about the axis of the pipette 60. The structure according to the present invention also makes it possible to easily overcome any obstacles located in the reservoir R

ou dans son environnement, lors de sa mise en place dans le reservoir.  or in its environment, when it is placed in the tank.

Comme on le volt sur la figure 3, le tuyau 70 engage par un orifice situe au droit d'une premiere poche P1 permet ainsi d'acceder  As shown in FIG. 3, the pipe 70 engaged by an orifice located at the right of a first pocket P1 thus allows access

aisement a la deuxieme poche P2.easily to the second pocket P2.

Le cas echeant, comme illustre sur la figure 5, le tuyau 70 peut egalement etre relic en-quite, par sa seconde extremite, a un dispositif  If necessary, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the pipe 70 can also be connected entirely, by its second end, to a device

de puisage auxiliaire 80 engage dans la deuxieme poche du reservoir.  auxiliary draw 80 engaged in the second pocket of the tank.

Le toyeu 70 peut d'ailleurs etre equipe a sa seconde extremite, d'un embout 72 apte a cooperer avec une pipette 60 liee 3 ce dispositif de puisage auxiliaire 80 pour definir la encore une liaison etanche avec  The toyeu 70 can moreover be equipped at its second end, with a nozzle 72 capable of cooperating with a pipette 60 linked to this auxiliary drawing device 80 to further define a tight connection with

liberte de rotation autour de l'axe de la pipette.  freedom of rotation around the pipette axis.

Bien entendu la presente invention n'est pas limitee aux modes de realisations particuliers qui viennent d'etre decrits mais s'etend a  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments which have just been described, but extends to

toute variante conforme a son esprit.  any variant according to its spirit.

Dans le cadre de la presente invention, on peut ainsi prevoir plusieurs tuyaux 70 associes 3 des pipettes respectives susceptibles de prendre, apres implantation dans le reservoir, des orientations differentes. Dans ce contexte, la presente invention permet egalement de realiser ltensemble des pipettes prevues sur le dispositif de puisage, paralleles entre elles. Ce dispositif permet de realiser aisement le  In the context of the present invention, it is thus possible to provide several pipes 70 associated with 3 respective pipettes capable of taking, after implantation in the reservoir, different orientations. In this context, the present invention also makes it possible to produce all of the pipettes provided on the drawing device, parallel to one another. This device makes it easy to carry out the

dispositif par moulage.device by molding.

La presente invention offre egalement l'avantage de permettre plusieurs orientations possibles des tuyaux, selon le type de vehicule concerne, a ['aide d'un seul et meme composant pour realiser la liaison hydraulique. De preference dans le cadre de la presents invention, la pipette et 1'embout complementaire 72, vent realises par moulage en  The present invention also offers the advantage of allowing several possible orientations of the pipes, depending on the type of vehicle concerned, using a single component to make the hydraulic connection.
