自動車用燃料タンクにガソリン等の燃料や水素を給油又は充填する場合には、車体に設けられた給油口又は充填口を塞ぐ給油口蓋、充填口蓋を開き、燃料キャップを外して給油口から燃料を給油する、又は、充填ポートに充填プラグを差し込んで水素を充填する。又、電気自動車やPHV(プラグインハイブリッド車)に電気を充電する場合には、充電蓋を開き、急速充電ポート又は普通充電ポートのキャップを外し、充電コネクタを充電ポートに差し込んで充電する。 When refueling or filling fuel such as gasoline or hydrogen into the fuel tank for automobiles, open the fuel filler port or filling port lid that closes the fuel filler port or filling port provided on the vehicle body, remove the fuel cap, and pour the fuel from the fuel filler port. Refuel or fill with hydrogen by inserting a fill plug into the fill port. When charging an electric vehicle or PHV (plug-in hybrid vehicle) with electricity, the charging lid is opened, the cap of the quick charging port or normal charging port is removed, and the charging connector is inserted into the charging port for charging.

この種の蓋の取付け構造として、特許文献1に開示された技術を図1から図5に基づいて説明する。蓋10(給油口蓋)の裏面12には、アーム部材20が取付けられている。アーム部材20は、円弧状に湾曲した板状であり、その先端部分には、ボックス30(給油口ボックス)に取付けられる部分であるボックス取付部24を有している。 As a lid mounting structure of this type, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. An arm member 20 is attached to the rear surface 12 of the lid 10 (fuel cap). The arm member 20 has a plate-like shape curved in an arc shape, and has a box attachment portion 24 at its tip portion, which is a portion attached to the box 30 (filler port box).

アーム部材20のボックス取付部24は、図4に示すように、ボックス30のアーム部材係合部350(図3)に係合するアーム部材20のボックス係合ピン250が形成されている。ボックス係合ピン250は、ボックス取付部24の先端の両側面に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the box mounting portion 24 of the arm member 20 is formed with a box engaging pin 250 of the arm member 20 that engages with the arm member engaging portion 350 (FIG. 3) of the box 30. As shown in FIG. The box engaging pins 250 are formed on both side surfaces of the tip of the box attachment portion 24 .

一方、ボックス30は、図1と図2に示すように、底部の中心に車体2の給油口1と連通する給油ガンを挿入する給油孔36(開口部)を有するボックス本体部31とアーム部材20を収納するアーム部材収納部37を有し、ボックス30は、シール部材33を介して車体2のボックス保持部3に取付けられている。アーム部材収納部37は、車体2のボックス保持部3が形成されている部分よりも車体2の内側(図1における左側)に入り込んで形成されている。 On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the box 30 has a box main body 31 having a refueling hole 36 (opening) in the center of the bottom for inserting a refueling gun communicating with the refueling port 1 of the vehicle body 2, and an arm member. The box 30 is attached to the box holding portion 3 of the vehicle body 2 via the sealing member 33 . The arm member storage portion 37 is formed so as to enter the inside of the vehicle body 2 (left side in FIG. 1) from the portion of the vehicle body 2 where the box holding portion 3 is formed.

図3に示すように、アーム部材収納部37には、アーム部材係合部350までアーム部材20のボックス係合ピン250を案内するアーム部材ガイド部34が形成されており、アーム部材ガイド部34の先端部分には、アーム部材20のボックス係合ピン250を係合するアーム部材係合部350が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 3 , arm member guide portion 34 for guiding box engagement pin 250 of arm member 20 to arm member engagement portion 350 is formed in arm member storage portion 37 . An arm member engaging portion 350 for engaging the box engaging pin 250 of the arm member 20 is formed at the tip portion of the arm member 20 .

アーム部材ガイド部34を形成したため、アーム部材20をボックス30に取付けるときに、アーム部材ガイド部34の中にアーム部材20のボックス係合ピン250を挿入して、摺動することにより、ボックス30のアーム部材収納部37の奥が見にくくても、容易にアーム部材20をボックス30に組み付けることができる。 Since the arm member guide portion 34 is formed, when the arm member 20 is attached to the box 30, the box 30 can be attached by inserting the box engaging pin 250 of the arm member 20 into the arm member guide portion 34 and sliding. The arm member 20 can be easily assembled to the box 30 even if the depth of the arm member storage portion 37 is difficult to see.

ボックス30は、底部の中心に車体2の給油口1と連通する給油ガンを挿入する給油孔36(開口部)を有するボックス本体部31とアーム部材20を収納するアーム部材収納部37を有し、ボックス30は、シール部材33を介して車体2のボックス保持部3に取付けられている。アーム部材収納部37は、車体2のボックス保持部3が形成されている部分よりも車体2の内側(図1における左側)に入り込んで形成されている。アーム部材収納部37の詳細は後述する。 The box 30 has a box main body 31 having an oil supply hole 36 (opening) for inserting a fuel supply gun that communicates with the oil supply port 1 of the vehicle body 2 at the center of the bottom, and an arm member storage part 37 that stores the arm member 20 . , the box 30 is attached to the box holding portion 3 of the vehicle body 2 via a sealing member 33 . The arm member storage portion 37 is formed so as to enter the inside of the vehicle body 2 (left side in FIG. 1) from the portion of the vehicle body 2 where the box holding portion 3 is formed. Details of the arm member housing portion 37 will be described later.

ボックス30のアーム部材収納部37と反対側には、ロックピン32が形成され、蓋10が閉じられたときに、ロックピン32がアーム部材20の蓋ロック部22に係合して、蓋10をロックすることができる。蓋10を開くときは、ボックス30のロックピン32が後退して、アーム部材20の蓋ロック部22から外れる。 A lock pin 32 is formed on the opposite side of the box 30 from the arm member housing portion 37, and when the lid 10 is closed, the lock pin 32 engages with the lid lock portion 22 of the arm member 20, thereby can be locked. When opening the lid 10 , the lock pin 32 of the box 30 is retracted and disengaged from the lid lock portion 22 of the arm member 20 .

ボックス本体部31の上端の周囲には、シール部材33が取付けられて、ボックス本体部31が、車体2のボックス保持部3に取付けられたときに、ボックス保持部3とボックス本体部31の上端の間をシールする。 A sealing member 33 is attached around the upper end of the box main body 31 so that when the box main body 31 is attached to the box holding part 3 of the vehicle body 2, the upper ends of the box holding part 3 and the box main body 31 are sealed. seal between

図3と図5に示すように、アーム部材収納部37の一方の側面37aには、アーム部材20のボックス取付部24に形成された円柱形状の凸部25をボックス本体部31から案内するアーム部材ガイド部34が突出して形成され、アーム部材ガイド部34の先端部分には、アーム部材20のボックス取付部24に形成された円柱形状の凸部25と係合する凸部受け部35が形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, on one side surface 37a of the arm member housing portion 37, an arm for guiding the cylindrical projection 25 formed on the box mounting portion 24 of the arm member 20 from the box main body portion 31. A member guide portion 34 is formed to protrude, and at the tip of the arm member guide portion 34, a convex portion receiving portion 35 that engages with a cylindrical convex portion 25 formed on the box mounting portion 24 of the arm member 20 is formed. It is

ボックス取付部24の凸部25が通過するアーム部材ガイド部34の幅は、凸部25の直径より少し大きく形成され、凸部25が通過しやすくなっている。又、アーム部材ガイド部34と凸部受け部35の連結部には、凸部25の直径よりわずかに小さい幅となるような両側が窪んだ狭幅部34aが形成されている。凸部25を狭幅部34aに押し込み、狭幅部34aが少し撓んで凸部25を通過させることにより凸部受け部35に凸部25を嵌め込むと共に凸部25が凸部受け部35から外れることを防止できる。なお、アーム部材ガイド部34の凸部受け部35の幅は、凸部25の直径とほぼ同じに形成され、凸部受け部35内における凸部25のズレを抑えている。 The width of the arm member guide portion 34 through which the convex portion 25 of the box mounting portion 24 passes is slightly larger than the diameter of the convex portion 25 so that the convex portion 25 can easily pass through. A connecting portion between the arm member guide portion 34 and the convex portion receiving portion 35 is formed with a narrow width portion 34 a having a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the convex portion 25 and recessed on both sides. The convex portion 25 is pushed into the narrow portion 34a, and the narrow portion 34a is slightly bent to allow the convex portion 25 to pass through. You can prevent it from coming off. The width of the projection receiving portion 35 of the arm member guide portion 34 is formed to be substantially the same as the diameter of the projection 25, thereby suppressing displacement of the projection 25 within the projection receiving portion 35. FIG.

又、ボックス30のアーム部材ガイド部34と凸部受け部35の連結部の狭幅部34aが形成されている場所の外面から内部方向(狭幅部34aと直交する方向)には、ボックス本体部31側に傾斜面を有する突起部34bが形成されている。 In addition, from the outer surface of the place where the narrow width portion 34a of the connecting portion between the arm member guide portion 34 and the convex portion receiving portion 35 of the box 30 is formed, the box main body A projecting portion 34b having an inclined surface is formed on the portion 31 side.

図4に示すように、アーム部材20のボックス取付部24の一方の側面24aには、円柱形状に突出して凸部25が形成されている。又、その先端部分は斜面状に切りかかれた凸部斜面25aが形成されている。凸部斜面25aにより凸部25がアーム部材ガイド部34の突起部34bを乗り越えやすくなるので、アーム部材20をボックス30の凸部受け部35に取付けやすい。なお、凸部斜面25aは形成しなくてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 4, one side surface 24a of the box mounting portion 24 of the arm member 20 is formed with a convex portion 25 protruding in a cylindrical shape. Further, a convex slope 25a is formed at the tip portion thereof by cutting in the shape of a slope. Since the protrusion slope 25 a makes it easier for the protrusion 25 to climb over the protrusion 34 b of the arm member guide section 34 , the arm member 20 can be easily attached to the protrusion receiving section 35 of the box 30 . Note that the convex slope 25a may not be formed.

一方、図6に示すように、ボックス取付部24の他方の側面24bには、反対側の側面に形成されている凸部25と同軸に円柱形状の凹部26が形成されている。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the other side surface 24b of the box mounting portion 24 is formed with a cylindrical concave portion 26 coaxially with the convex portion 25 formed on the opposite side surface.

図7と図9に示すように、アーム部材収納部37の他方の側面37bには、ボックス取付部24の凹部26に合致する位置に、断面が円形の筒状に突出した凹部受け部38が形成されている。又、凹部受け部38の先端部分には、後述するキャップ40の第1係合凸部43と係合する先端溝部38aが1カ所形成されている。なお、先端溝部38aは1カ所には限定されない。 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, on the other side surface 37b of the arm member housing portion 37, a concave portion receiving portion 38 protruding in a tubular shape having a circular cross section is provided at a position corresponding to the concave portion 26 of the box mounting portion 24. formed. A tip groove portion 38a that engages with a first engagement projection 43 of the cap 40, which will be described later, is formed at the tip portion of the recess receiving portion 38 at one location. Note that the tip groove portion 38a is not limited to one location.

図9に示すように、凹部受け部38の内側面は、ボックス取付部24側に形成された小径部38bと、小径部38bより直径が大きな大径部38dと、小径部38bと大径部38dを連結する傾斜部38cが同軸に形成され、大径部38dには、周状に内側溝部38eが形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the inner surface of the recess receiving portion 38 includes a small-diameter portion 38b formed on the box mounting portion 24 side, a large-diameter portion 38d having a larger diameter than the small-diameter portion 38b, a small-diameter portion 38b and a large-diameter portion. A slanted portion 38c connecting the 38d is formed coaxially, and an inner groove portion 38e is formed in a circumferential shape in the large diameter portion 38d.

図7、図8と図9に示すように、アーム部材収納部37の凹部受け部38を貫通し、ボックス取付部24の凹部26内に挿入され、係合して嵌め込まれるキャップ40は、凹部受け部38を貫通する胴部41と、凹部受け部38の先端溝部38aに係合する第1係合凸部43が形成された鍔部42を有している。キャップ40の鍔部42の直径は、胴部41の直径より大きい。 As shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, a cap 40 that passes through the recess receiving portion 38 of the arm member housing portion 37 and is inserted into and engaged with the recess 26 of the box mounting portion 24 is fitted into the recess. It has a body portion 41 passing through the receiving portion 38 and a flange portion 42 formed with a first engaging projection 43 that engages with the tip groove portion 38a of the recessed receiving portion 38 . The diameter of the collar portion 42 of the cap 40 is larger than the diameter of the body portion 41 .

胴部41は、凹部受け部38の小径部38bを貫通し、ボックス取付部24の凹部26に挿入されてボックス取付部24と係合する第1胴部41aと、凹部受け部38の大径部38dを貫通する第2胴部41bと、凹部受け部38の傾斜部38cを貫通する第3胴部41cが同軸に形成されている。 The body portion 41 includes a first body portion 41a which passes through the small diameter portion 38b of the recess receiving portion 38, is inserted into the recess 26 of the box mounting portion 24 and engages with the box mounting portion 24, and the large diameter portion of the recess receiving portion 38. A second trunk portion 41b penetrating through the portion 38d and a third trunk portion 41c penetrating through the inclined portion 38c of the recess receiving portion 38 are coaxially formed.

図9に示すように、第1胴部41a、第2胴部41b、第3胴部41cと鍔部42は、鍔部42側に開口を有する空洞部46が形成されており、この空洞部46により、内側方向の若干の変形を許容し、キャップ40を凹部受け部38に嵌め込み易くしている。又、同時に、キャップ40の軽量化を図ることができる。なお、キャップ40の空洞部46を形成せず、中実としてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 9, the first trunk portion 41a, the second trunk portion 41b, the third trunk portion 41c, and the collar portion 42 are formed with a hollow portion 46 having an opening on the collar portion 42 side. 46 allows for slight deformation in the inward direction, making it easier to fit the cap 40 into the recess receiving portion 38 . At the same time, the weight of the cap 40 can be reduced. Note that the hollow portion 46 of the cap 40 may not be formed and may be solid.

ここで、図9の四角内の拡大図に示したように、凹部受け部38の小径部38bと傾斜部38cとの角度αは、キャップ40の第1胴部41aと第3胴部41cとの角度βより大きい。これにより、キャップ40の長さと凹部受け部38の突出長さを短く形成することができ、キャップ40と凹部受け部38を軽量化することができる。 Here, as shown in the enlarged view of the square in FIG. 9, the angle .alpha. is greater than the angle β of As a result, the length of the cap 40 and the projection length of the recess receiving portion 38 can be shortened, and the weight of the cap 40 and the recess receiving portion 38 can be reduced.

又、第2胴部41bには、凹部受け部38の内側溝部38eに係合する第2係合凸部44が形成されている。なお、特許請求の範囲の請求項4に記載された「係合凸部」は、本実施形態では「第2係合凸部44」が該当する。第2係合凸部44は、キャップ40が凹部受け部38に嵌め込まれた時に凹部受け部38の内側溝部38eに合致する位置に形成されている。 A second engagement protrusion 44 that engages with the inner groove portion 38e of the recess receiving portion 38 is formed on the second trunk portion 41b. In addition, the "engagement convex part" described in claim 4 of the scope of claims corresponds to the "second engagement convex part 44" in this embodiment. The second engagement projection 44 is formed at a position that matches the inner groove 38e of the recess receiving portion 38 when the cap 40 is fitted into the recess receiving portion 38. As shown in FIG.

更に、第3胴部41cには、図8と図9に示すように、先端部分が先細り形状に突出するシール部45が周状に形成されている。シール部45の形状は、外側面45aが凸状の円弧形状を有し、下方に向かい第1胴部41aに近づく形状となっている。一方、内側面45bは、第1胴部41aと略平行に形成されている。これによって、シール部45の先端がアーム部材収納部37の凹部受け部38の傾斜部38cに接触し、更にキャップ40が押し込まれたときに、傾斜部38cの傾斜に沿って、第1胴部41a側に撓むように変形して傾斜部38cに弾接して、シール部45と傾斜部38cとの間を確実にシールする。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the third body portion 41c is formed with a circumferential seal portion 45 having a tapered tip portion. The shape of the seal portion 45 is such that the outer side surface 45a has a convex circular arc shape and is downwardly approached to the first body portion 41a. On the other hand, the inner side surface 45b is formed substantially parallel to the first body portion 41a. As a result, the tip of the seal portion 45 comes into contact with the inclined portion 38c of the recess receiving portion 38 of the arm member housing portion 37, and when the cap 40 is further pushed in, the first body portion is moved along the inclination of the inclined portion 38c. It deforms so as to bend toward 41a and elastically contacts the inclined portion 38c, thereby reliably sealing between the seal portion 45 and the inclined portion 38c.

なお、シール部45のヒレ形状は、シール部45の先端がアーム部材収納部37の凹部受け部38の傾斜部38cに接触し、更にキャップ40が押し込まれたときに、傾斜部38cの傾斜に沿って、第1胴部41a側に撓むことが可能であれば、外側面45aが凸状の円弧形状を有し、下方に向かい第1胴部41aに近づく形状には限定されない。例えば、図8において、(1)外側面45a、内側面45bが共に直線的に下方に向かい第1胴部41aに近づく形状、(2)外側面45aが下方に垂直に延び、内側面45bが第1胴部41aから離れる方向に延びる形状なども可能である。 The fin shape of the seal portion 45 is such that when the tip of the seal portion 45 contacts the inclined portion 38c of the recess receiving portion 38 of the arm member housing portion 37 and the cap 40 is further pushed in, the inclined portion 38c is inclined. As long as it is possible to bend toward the first trunk portion 41a, the shape of the outer side surface 45a is not limited to a shape that has a convex circular arc shape and approaches the first trunk portion 41a downward. For example, in FIG. 8, (1) the outer side surface 45a and the inner side surface 45b both extend linearly downward and approach the first body portion 41a, and (2) the outer side surface 45a extends vertically downward and the inner side surface 45b extends downward. A shape that extends away from the first trunk portion 41a is also possible.

本実施形態では、アーム部材20はナイロンを使用し、キャップ40はPP(ポリプロピレン)を使用した。ボックス取付部24の凹部26(ナイロン)には、キャップ40の第1胴部41a(ポリプロピレン)が挿入され、ボックス取付部24が回動するが、両部材が異なる材料で構成されているので、係合するキャップ40の第1胴部41aとボックス取付部24の凹部26の双方が摩耗し、経時的にがたつきが発生することを防止することができる。なお、アーム部材20とキャップ40の材料は、異なっていれば良く、上記のナイロンとPPには限定されない。 In this embodiment, the arm member 20 uses nylon, and the cap 40 uses PP (polypropylene). The first trunk portion 41a (polypropylene) of the cap 40 is inserted into the concave portion 26 (nylon) of the box mounting portion 24, and the box mounting portion 24 rotates. It is possible to prevent both the first barrel portion 41a of the cap 40 and the concave portion 26 of the box attachment portion 24, which are engaged with each other, from wearing out and rattling over time. The materials of the arm member 20 and the cap 40 are not limited to nylon and PP as long as they are different.

次に、ボックス30のアーム部材収納部37へのアーム部材20の取付けについて以下に説明する。まず、アーム部材20のボックス取付部24側をボックス30のボックス本体部31側からアーム部材収納部37に挿入する。同時に、ボックス取付部24の凸部25をアーム部材収納部37のボックス取付部24のアーム部材ガイド部34に挿入する。 Next, attachment of the arm member 20 to the arm member storage portion 37 of the box 30 will be described below. First, the box attachment portion 24 side of the arm member 20 is inserted into the arm member storage portion 37 from the box body portion 31 side of the box 30 . At the same time, the convex portion 25 of the box mounting portion 24 is inserted into the arm member guide portion 34 of the box mounting portion 24 of the arm member storage portion 37 .

アーム部材ガイド部34に沿ってボックス取付部24の凸部25を摺動させると、凸部25は、凸部25の直径よりわずかに小さい幅となるような両側が窪んだ狭幅部34aと内部方向(狭幅部34aと直交する方向)に突出する突起部34bに当接する。そして、凸部25を更に押し込みと狭幅部34aが少し撓むとともに、凸部25が突起部34bを乗り越えて通過し、その奥にある凸部受け部35に入る。この時、凸部25が形成されたボックス取付部24の反対の側面24bには凹部26が同軸に形成されており、対向するアーム部材収納部37の側面37bには凹部受け部38が形成されている。 When the convex portion 25 of the box mounting portion 24 is slid along the arm member guide portion 34, the convex portion 25 has a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the convex portion 25 and has a narrow width portion 34a recessed on both sides. It abuts on the projecting portion 34b projecting inward (direction perpendicular to the narrow portion 34a). Then, the convex portion 25 is pushed further and the narrow width portion 34a is slightly bent, and the convex portion 25 passes over the projection portion 34b and enters the convex portion receiving portion 35 behind it. At this time, a concave portion 26 is coaxially formed on the opposite side surface 24b of the box mounting portion 24 on which the convex portion 25 is formed, and a concave receiving portion 38 is formed on the opposing side surface 37b of the arm member housing portion 37. ing.

次に、凹部受け部38に、キャップ40の胴部41を第1胴部41a側から挿入する。第1胴部41aは、凹部受け部38の大径部38d、傾斜部38cと小径部38bを通過し、アーム部材20のボックス取付部24の凹部26に挿入される。このボックス取付部24の凹部26への挿入の前後(これは前又は後のどちらでも良い)に、キャップ40の第2胴部41bに形成された第2係合凸部44が凹部受け部38の先端部に当接する。 Next, the trunk portion 41 of the cap 40 is inserted into the recess receiving portion 38 from the first trunk portion 41a side. The first trunk portion 41 a passes through the large diameter portion 38 d , the inclined portion 38 c and the small diameter portion 38 b of the recess receiving portion 38 and is inserted into the recess 26 of the box mounting portion 24 of the arm member 20 . Before and after the box mounting portion 24 is inserted into the recess 26 (this may be either before or after), the second engaging protrusion 44 formed on the second body portion 41b of the cap 40 engages with the recess receiving portion 38. abuts on the tip of the

キャップ40を更に押し込むと、第2係合凸部44は撓み、大径部38d内を摺動する。そして、キャップ40の鍔部42に形成された第1係合凸部43が、凹部受け部38の先端部分に当接して摺動が停止する。 When the cap 40 is pushed further, the second engaging protrusion 44 bends and slides within the large diameter portion 38d. Then, the first engaging projection 43 formed on the collar portion 42 of the cap 40 comes into contact with the tip portion of the recess receiving portion 38 and stops sliding.

鍔部42を回転させ、鍔部42に形成された第1係合凸部43を凹部受け部38の先端部分に形成された先端溝部38aの位置に合わせると、第1係合凸部43は、大径部38d内を更に摺動することが可能になる。そして、第2係合凸部44が凹部受け部38の大径部38dに形成された内側溝部38eに入り込むことによりキャップ40が固定される。なお、予めキャップ40の鍔部42の第1係合凸部43を凹部受け部38の先端溝部38aの位置に合わせてキャップ40を押し込めば、上記の鍔部42の回転は不要である。 When the collar portion 42 is rotated to align the first engaging projection 43 formed on the collar portion 42 with the position of the tip groove portion 38a formed on the tip portion of the recess receiving portion 38, the first engaging projection portion 43 is , further slides in the large diameter portion 38d. Then, the cap 40 is fixed by the second engaging projection 44 entering the inner groove 38e formed in the large diameter portion 38d of the recess receiving portion 38. As shown in FIG. If the cap 40 is pushed in with the first engaging projection 43 of the flange 42 of the cap 40 aligned with the groove 38a of the recess receiving portion 38 in advance, the rotation of the flange 42 is unnecessary.

又、上記の第2係合凸部44が第2胴部41b内を更に摺動するときには、キャップ40の第3胴部41cに形成されたシール部45が凹部受け部38の傾斜部38cに当接、湾曲して撓んで、傾斜部38cに弾接する。 Further, when the second engaging projection 44 slides further inside the second barrel portion 41b, the seal portion 45 formed on the third barrel portion 41c of the cap 40 contacts the inclined portion 38c of the recess receiving portion 38. It abuts, bends and bends, and elastically contacts the inclined portion 38c.

この結果、キャップ40をボックス取付部24の凹部26内に挿入した時に、ボックス取付部24の一方の側面24aに形成された円柱形状に突出した凸部25をアーム部材収納部37の凸部受け部35の裏面側(アーム部材収納部37の他の側面37b側)に押し、凸部25と凸部受け部35が接近又は当接する。そして、凸部25と凸部受け部35との間のクリアランスが小さくなる又は無くなるので、ボックス取付部24がアーム部材収納部37の凸部受け部35内でがたつくことなく回動可能になる。 As a result, when the cap 40 is inserted into the concave portion 26 of the box mounting portion 24, the projection 25 formed on one side surface 24a of the box mounting portion 24 and projecting in a columnar shape receives the projection of the arm member housing portion 37. The rear surface side of the portion 35 (the other side surface 37b side of the arm member housing portion 37) is pushed, and the convex portion 25 and the convex portion receiving portion 35 approach or come into contact with each other. Since the clearance between the convex portion 25 and the convex portion receiving portion 35 is reduced or eliminated, the box attachment portion 24 can be rotated within the convex portion receiving portion 35 of the arm member housing portion 37 without rattling.

又、凹部受け部38の先端溝部38aとキャップ40の第1係合凸部43が係合することにより、キャップ40が凹部受け部38に固定されるので、蓋10の開閉に伴うアーム部材20の回動によりキャップ40が凹部受け部38内で回動することを防止することができる。 In addition, since the cap 40 is fixed to the recess receiving portion 38 by engaging the tip groove portion 38a of the recess receiving portion 38 with the first engaging projection 43 of the cap 40, the arm member 20 can move when the lid 10 is opened and closed. It is possible to prevent the cap 40 from rotating within the recess receiving portion 38 due to the rotation of .

又、胴部41の第2胴部41bの側面に形成された第2係合凸部44と凹部受け部38の内側溝部38eが係合するので、蓋10の開閉や走行時の振動等によって、キャップ40がアーム部材収納部37の凹部受け部38から抜けるのを防止することができる。 In addition, since the second engaging protrusion 44 formed on the side surface of the second body portion 41b of the body portion 41 and the inner groove portion 38e of the recess receiving portion 38 are engaged with each other, the opening and closing of the lid 10 and the vibration during running may cause the movement of the body. , the cap 40 can be prevented from slipping out of the recess receiving portion 38 of the arm member housing portion 37 .

更に、キャップ40の第3胴部41cに形成されたシール部45が凹部受け部38の傾斜部38cに弾接するので、キャップ40の鍔部42と凹部受け部38との間から水がボックス取付部24側に侵入した場合も、ボックス取付部24の凹部26とキャップ40の第1胴部41aとの間に水が浸入することを防止することができる。 Furthermore, since the seal portion 45 formed on the third body portion 41c of the cap 40 is in elastic contact with the inclined portion 38c of the recessed portion receiving portion 38, water is prevented from entering between the collar portion 42 of the cap 40 and the recessed portion receiving portion 38. Even when water enters the portion 24 side, it is possible to prevent water from entering between the concave portion 26 of the box mounting portion 24 and the first body portion 41 a of the cap 40 .

本発明の実施にあたっては、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の目的を逸脱しない限りにおいて、種々の変更が可能である。 The implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the object of the present invention.

例えば、上記の実施形態では、キャップ40の第3胴部41cに形成したシール部45は、断面において先細り形状に形成したが、半円形状に形状してもよい。この場合は、半円形状のシール部45の凹部受け部38の傾斜部38cとの当接面が少し潰れることにより、傾斜部38cとの間をシールする。 For example, in the above embodiment, the seal portion 45 formed on the third body portion 41c of the cap 40 is tapered in cross section, but may be semicircular. In this case, the contact surface of the semi-circular seal portion 45 with the inclined portion 38c of the recess receiving portion 38 is slightly crushed, thereby sealing between the inclined portion 38c.

例えば、アーム部材収納部37の凹部受け部38とキャップ40については、アーム部材収納部37の凹部受け部38に先端溝部38aを設けず、キャップ40の鍔部42の下部に第1係合凸部43を形成せず、単にキャップ40を凹部受け部38に挿入することにより、キャップ40の胴部41をボックス取付部24の凹部26に嵌め込んでも良い。 For example, with respect to the recess receiving portion 38 of the arm member housing portion 37 and the cap 40, the recess receiving portion 38 of the arm member housing portion 37 is not provided with the tip groove portion 38a, and the first engagement projection is formed on the lower portion of the collar portion 42 of the cap 40. The body portion 41 of the cap 40 may be fitted into the recess 26 of the box mounting portion 24 by simply inserting the cap 40 into the recess receiving portion 38 without forming the portion 43 .

例えば、上記の実施形態では、アーム部材収納部37の片側の側面(37b)にボックス取付部24の凹部26に合致する凹部受け部38を形成し、ボックス取付部24の片側の側面(24b)に凹部26を形成したが、アーム部材収納部37の両側の側面に凹部受け部38を形成し、ボックス取付部24の両側に凹部26を形成し、両側からキャップ40によってアーム部材収納部37にボックス取付部24を固定するようにしてもよい。 For example, in the above-described embodiment, the concave receiving portion 38 that matches the concave portion 26 of the box mounting portion 24 is formed on one side surface (37b) of the arm member housing portion 37, and one side surface (24b) of the box mounting portion 24 is formed. In addition, recess receiving portions 38 are formed on both side surfaces of the arm member housing portion 37, recesses 26 are formed on both sides of the box mounting portion 24, and the arm member housing portion 37 is covered with caps 40 from both sides. The box mounting portion 24 may be fixed.

例えば、上記の実施形態では、キャップ40の第2胴部41bの第2係合凸部44は、凹部受け部38の内側溝部38eと同様に周状に形成したが、内側溝部38eに合致すれば部分的、例えば、線状やドット状に形成してもよい。これによって、第2係合凸部44が凹部受け部38の大径部38d内で撓み易くなり、通過し易くなるからである。 For example, in the above-described embodiment, the second engaging projection 44 of the second barrel 41b of the cap 40 is formed in a circumferential shape similar to the inner groove 38e of the recess receiving portion 38. Alternatively, it may be formed partially, for example, in a line shape or a dot shape. This is because the second engaging projection 44 can easily bend within the large-diameter portion 38d of the recess receiving portion 38 and easily pass through.
