TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fuel filler cap holder for an automobile used in a fueling station for supplying fuel oil.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As fuel tank cap holders for automobiles used at gas stations, there are two types of fuel tank cap holders: one provided on a weighing machine as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-144449, and one provided on a fueling nozzle as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 364739. There are things. Although the one provided on the weighing machine is effective in itself, the removed cap is placed on the filler cap provided on the weighing machine, and then refueled. In such a case, a cap is taken from a fuel tank and a cap is put on a filler port of an automobile, so that two reciprocations are made between a refueling position and a weighing machine every time refueling is performed. And what is provided in the refueling nozzle can work at the refueling position, so the workability is good, but since the permanent magnet is used, the synthetic resin cap is now widespread and practical. In addition, since the cap is placed on the refueling nozzle, the refueling port is difficult to see and the operability is deteriorated.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a fuel filler cap holder for an automobile which can be installed at a fueling position, has good workability, and does not hinder a fueling operation.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, the present invention is claimed in claim 1, recess is formed, mounted foldably to the bottom cap rest plate the surface of the substrate by a hinge which is small hole opened in the recess, also, the substrate Is a slit formed by a substrate and an L-shaped part protruding from the substrate. The L-shaped part is provided with a card holder formed smaller than the depression of the cap mounting plate, and a permanent magnet is mounted on the back of the substrate. The gist of the invention is that the surface of the permanent magnet is covered with a scratch-proof sheet .
[0005]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the cap mounting plate is foldably attached to the substrate, and the permanent magnet is attached to the substrate. Due to the permanent magnet attached to this board, the filler cap holder is attached near the filler port of the car and has good workability. It is not attached to the filler nozzle, so it does not hinder the filler operation. . Further, since the cap mounting plate is foldably attached to the substrate, it can be folded and stored in a pocket when not in use.
[0006]
By forming a depression in the cap mounting plate and opening a small hole at the bottom of the depression, the cap does not drop and the oil drops dripping from the cap do not accumulate.
[0007]
Further, by providing a card holder on the substrate, it is possible to hold a refueling card kept by a customer at the time of refueling.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a refueling nozzle N attached to a tip of a hose H of a measuring machine (not shown) is inserted into a refueling port M of an automobile to perform refueling. An automobile filler cap holder 1 of the present invention is attached to the body B of the automobile in the vicinity of the filler port, and holds the cap K of the filler port M and the refueling card C of the customer.
[0009]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fuel filler cap holder 1 of the vehicle includes a substrate 2 and a cap mounting plate 3. The cap mounting plate 3 is foldably attached to the surface of the substrate 2 by a hinge 4. I have.
[0010]
The cap mounting plate 3 can be opened up to a state in which the cap mounting plate 3 is perpendicular to the substrate 2, and a recess 5 is formed inside so that the cap K does not drop. Further, a small hole 6 is formed in the bottom of the recess 5 so that the oil drop hanging from the cap K does not accumulate.
[0011]
The board 2 is provided with a card holder 7 for holding a customer's refueling card C. The card holder 7 is a slit formed by the substrate 2 and an L-shaped portion 8 protruding from the substrate 2, and the L-shaped portion 8 is smaller than the recess 5 of the cap mounting plate 3 as shown in FIG. It is formed so that it can be folded small and stored in a pocket when not in use. A permanent magnet 9 such as a rubber magnet is attached to the back surface of the substrate 2, and the surface of the permanent magnet 9 is covered with a scratch-proof sheet 10 so as not to damage the body B of the automobile.
[0012]
When not in use, the fuel filler cap holder 1 of the automobile configured as described above is folded and placed in a pocket or the like as shown in FIG. Then, when the vehicle to be refueled arrives, the filler cap holder 1 is attached to the body B near the filler port M of the vehicle by the permanent magnet 9, the cap mounting plate 3 is opened, and the cap K of the filler port M is mounted. Then, the refueling card C received from the customer is sandwiched between the card holders 7 to refuel.
[0013]
As described above, since the filler cap holder 1 is attached near the filler port M, it does not hinder the filler operation, and the cap K is handled at the filler position, so that the workability is good. When refueling is over, put cap K on refueling port M, return card C to the customer, remove refueling port cap holder 1 from the car, fold it up and put it in a pocket etc. Absent.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the vehicle filler cap holder of the present invention has the cap mounting plate foldably attached to the substrate and the permanent magnet attached to the substrate, so that the filler filler cap holder is attached to the vehicle body by the permanent magnet. The cap can be placed at the refueling position, so that the workability is good and the cap is attached to the body of the automobile, so that it does not hinder the refueling operation. Further, since the cap mounting plate is foldably attached to the substrate, it can be folded and stored in a pocket when not in use.
