Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fuel inlet connection plate provided in an inlet box connected to an outer plate of a vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a fuel inlet of an automobile is opened at a bottom surface of an inlet box recessed from an outer plate of a vehicle body. The outer peripheral member made of synthetic resin material and the inner peripheral member made of nitrile rubber, etc., to which the mounting opening of the filler cap is connected, are molded separately from each other. After the outer peripheral member is fixed, the mounting opening of the filler cap is inserted and fixed in the inner peripheral member (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-42892).

[0003]

According to this, since the outer peripheral member and the inner peripheral member are separate members, not only the parts management becomes complicated but also the number of manufacturing steps cannot be reduced. Therefore, it has been difficult to satisfy the demand for reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0004] The present invention has been devised in order to solve such disadvantages of the prior art, and its main objects are as follows.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved fuel inlet connection plate so that the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced without impairing the function.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a fuel injection port connecting plate provided in an inlet box connected to an outer plate of a vehicle body is connected to an outer periphery made of a hard material fixed to the inlet box. It has a section member, and an inner peripheral member where the fuel inlet is formed of a soft material is connected, the outer peripheral member
Into the slit provided on the bottom of the inlet box.
An engaging claw is integrally formed at one end thereof, and
Click into the engaging hole provided on the bottom of the box.
This is achieved by the fact that the loop portion is formed integrally with the other end .

[0006]

According to such a configuration, the tool can be cut without a tool.
Easily attach the fuel inlet connection plate to the inlet box.
It is possible to constant, the manufacturing process yet is abbreviated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The construction of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a fuel inlet formed according to the present invention. The fuel inlet 1 is formed, for example, in a shape in which an appropriate portion of a vehicle body outer plate 2 such as a rear fender is depressed, and is provided at a bottom surface of an inlet box 4 provided with a lid 3 so as to be flush with the outer surface of the vehicle body. It is open.

The inlet box 4 is formed in a container shape by squeezing a sheet metal, and is continuously connected to the vehicle body outer plate 2. A filler pipe insertion hole 5 is formed on the bottom surface of the inlet box 4, and a fuel inlet connection plate 6 is fixed to this opening. As shown in FIG. 2, the connection plate 6 has an outer peripheral member 6a made of a hard nylon resin material fixed to the bottom surface of the inlet box 4 and a filler cap mounting port 7 as a fuel injection port. Inner member 6b made of a soft elastomer material to be used
And are integrally formed by two-color molding.

The outer peripheral member 6a has a wide claw 8 integrally formed on the lower edge thereof inserted into a slit 9 provided on the bottom surface of the inlet box 4, and a clip portion 10 integrally formed on the back surface on the upper end side. Into the engaging hole 11 provided on the bottom surface of the inlet box 4 ,
It is fixed to the inlet box 4 .

[0011] The filler cap mounting opening 7 is
The filler cap 13 is fitted to the opening at the outer end of the filler cap mounting port 7, and the filler pipe 14 connected to the fuel tank is connected to the inner end. I have.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention] As described above, according to the invention, the hard material is used.
Is provided on the bottom surface of the inlet box.
A claw that engages with the slit
Into the engagement hole provided on the bottom of the inlet box
Clip part is integrally formed on the back surface on the upper end side.
Fuel injection very easily without the need for tools
Mouth connection plate can be fixed to inlet box
As a result, the manufacturing process can be simplified. Therefore,
A great effect can be obtained in reducing the manufacturing cost.
