Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a fuel lid hinge shaft fitting and fixing device in which the hinge shaft is fitted and fixed from the side to the inner surface of the fuel lid body in a non-rotatable manner.

(Prior art) A fuel lid is equipped with a hinge shaft on its inner surface, and the hinge shaft does not need to rotate.As shown in FIG. If there is, it will not be possible to fit the main body a from the width direction D (see Fig. 2). protrude,
After the hinge shaft e is fitted into the fitting groove c, an inverted U-shaped cap f is placed over it and the cap f is welded to the main body a. The fuel lid is a sector-shaped member that confines the fuel supply port attached to the car body, and is installed in the position shown in Figure 7 with the hinge axis vertical and can be opened and closed freely. When the height is higher than the reinforcing edge b on the inner surface of the fuel lid main body a, there is a disadvantage that the radius of rotation of the lid a, which is performed using the hinge axis e as a fulcrum, must be increased.

(Problem to be solved by the present invention) Although the hinge shaft is not rotated, it can be easily fitted into the inner surface of the fuel lid to prevent it from moving in the axial direction, and it can also be prevented from slipping out and moving upward in Figure 2. Must be. This invention is shown in Figure 1.
As shown in Fig. 2, a linear hinge shaft 1 with a bent part 2 that makes rotation impossible is used, and is suitable for fitting and fixing into the inner surface of the fuel lid main body 11 from the width direction W (Fig. 2). The problem lies in pursuing the structure and solving it.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and consists of a hinge shaft having a straight portion 2 and a bent portion 3 that makes the straight portion 2 unrotatable. 1, and a fuel lid body 1 following the shape of the hinge shaft 1.
A fitting opening 13 is formed on the inner surface of the hinge shaft 1 with one side open, and a fitting opening 13 is formed on the side of the opening 13 with respect to the straight part 2 of the hinge shaft 1, and above or below with respect to the bent part 3 of the hinge shaft 1. An insertion piece 12 having a key-shaped cross section and consisting of fitting grooves 14 provided in each of the holes protrudes integrally from the inner surface of the main body 1, and the hinge shaft 1 is non-rotatably fitted into each fitting groove 14 from the opening 13. Regarding the fuel lid hinge shaft fitting and fixing device, this configuration has solved the problems mentioned above at once.

Embodiments FIGS. 2 to 6 of the accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of the present invention.

The synthetic resin fuel lid 11 is formed into a horizontally long rectangular shape, and a hinge shaft 1 consisting of a straight portion 2 and a bent portion 3 is provided on one side of the inner surface in the longitudinal direction W, as shown in FIG. In addition to providing an opening 13 following the shape of Insertion pieces 12 each having a key-shaped cross section and each having a fitting groove 14 are provided to integrally protrude from the inner surface of the main body 1. The insertion pieces 12 are not arranged in a continuous manner, but are provided in a large number.

Of course, the insertion piece 12a into which the connecting portion between the straight portion 2 and the bent portion 3 is fitted may be formed into an L-shape as shown in FIG. 4 and enlarged in FIG. 5. The fitting groove 14 of the insertion piece 12 into which the straight portion 2 is fitted may be modified to have an inclined shape as shown in the sectional view of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, a rotatable movable hinge (not shown) is fitted into the fixed straight portion 2 of the hinge shaft 1 exposed between the insertion pieces 12, as is known in the art.

(Function) The present invention has a straight section 2 as shown in Fig. 1, etc.
and a hinge shaft 1 having a bent portion 3 that makes the linear portion 2 non-rotatable, a fitting opening 13 formed in the inner surface of the fuel lid body 11 with one side open, following the shape of the hinge shaft 1, and the hinge shaft. 1, the hinge shaft 1 is placed on the side of the opening 13.
For the bent portion 3, an insertion piece 12 having a key-shaped cross section is provided with a fitting groove 14 provided above or below, respectively.
integrally protrudes from the inner surface of the main body 1, and the hinge shaft 1 is non-rotatably fitted into each fitting groove 14 from the opening 13, forming a fuel lid hinge shaft fitting and fixing device. By fitting, the straight portion 2 becomes unrotatable.

(Effects) In the present invention, the hinge shaft 1 consisting of the straight part 2 and the bent part 3 is fitted into the fitting groove 14 from the fitting opening 13 of the key-shaped insertion piece 12 protruding from the inner surface of the fuel lid main body 11, and is supported non-rotatably. Even if the fuel lid main body 11 has a reinforcing edge as shown in FIG. It is fitted close to the inner surface and has the effect of making permanent holding and fixing strong and simple.
