Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a feed hose to be longer and yet allow it to be moved in a simple manner, with ease of handling, to a position where it is needed so that the operational area of an oil feeder can be extended without allowing the longer feed hose to hang with a slack around the housing and to hamper the operation or movement of vehicles. CONSTITUTION:A retractor 8 is placed and allowed to be freely moved sideways in a case 4 provided in the upper part of a housing 1a of an oil feeder 1. Correspondingly to its lateral movement a slit-shaped hole 12 which is long sideways is provided in the case 4. A rope 9 which can be freely payed out is drawn from the retractor 8 through the slit-shaped hole 12 and its forward end is fixed to a feed hose 13 at an intermediate point which is drawn from the housing 1a of the oil feeder 1.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refueling device, particularly a refueling hose storage structure, installed in a refueling station for refueling a vehicle with fuel such as gasoline.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Such a refueling device fixed on the ground is
As is well known, a housing is erected on an island provided on the ground, and an oil supply pipe communicating with an underground oil storage tank is set up in the housing, and an oil supply pump connected to an oil supply motor and a fuel meter connected to an oil supply motor are connected to the oil supply pipe. A mechanism is provided, a refueling hose leading out of the housing is connected to the tip of the refueling pipe, a refueling nozzle is provided at the tip of this refueling hose, and this refueling nozzle is hooked on a nozzle hook formed on the side surface of the housing, etc. There is.

When refueling, remove the refueling nozzle from the nozzle hook and insert it into the refueling port of the vehicle.
The oil pump is driven to pump oil from the underground oil storage tank to the oil supply pipe and discharge it from the oil supply nozzle via the oil supply hose.

[0004]

Since the refueling hose is led out directly from the housing, if the refueling hose is lengthened, the refueling hose droops down around the housing when not in use, and the drooping droops greatly around the housing. It is dangerous to get in the way. In addition, since the refueling hose is dragged on the ground even when refueling, workability is poor and dangerous. For this reason, the length of the refueling hose cannot be increased, the reach of the refueling hose is narrow, and the refueling area is limited.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art, to extend the length of the refueling hose and to expand the refueling area, and at the same time, even if the refueling hose becomes longer, it slackens around the housing. An object of the present invention is to provide an oil supply device that does not hang down in a state, does not interfere with work or traveling of an automobile when not in use, and is easy to handle when in use.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention accommodates a retractor laterally movably in a case provided above a housing, and has a laterally elongated drawing hole corresponding to the lateral movement direction. The gist of the present invention is that the cord is provided in the case, the cord that can be pulled out from the retractor is pulled out through the pull-out hole, and the tip of the line is fixed in the middle of the fuel supply hose that is led out from the housing.

[0007]

According to the present invention, since the middle of the refueling hose is locked above the housing when the cord is wound around the retractor, even if the refueling hose becomes long, it does not slacken around the housing when not in use. It does not hang in the state
It does not get in the way.

Further, when the refueling hose is pulled in the direction of the automobile to be refueled during use, the rope is pulled out from this through the laterally elongated pull-out hole while the retractor moves accordingly. Further, since the refueling hose is locked in the middle of this line, the refueling hose is easy to handle without being dragged on the ground even if the refueling hose becomes long and the total weight of the hose is not added to the hand of the worker.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view showing an embodiment of an oil supply apparatus of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a ground-fixing type oil supply apparatus, in which a housing 1a of the oil supply apparatus 1 communicates with an underground oil storage tank. A display for displaying the oil supply data such as the amount of oil supply is provided on the front surface of the housing 1a by starting up the oil supply pipe, providing an oil supply pump connected to the oil supply motor in the middle of the oil supply pipe, and a flow meter connected with a flow rate pulse transmitter. 3 is provided.

The stanchions 2 are erected from the left and right side surfaces of the housing 1a, and the stanchions 2 and 2 are located above the housing 1a.
The case 4 is installed between them. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a guide rail 5 is laid in the front part of the case 4, a slide plate 6 is engaged with the guide rail 5, and a turntable 7 is mounted on the slide plate 6. The retractor 8 is rotatably provided via the above. In the figure, 10 is a bar provided in parallel with the guide rail 5,
The slide plate 6 is prevented from rotating. Also, in the figure
Reference numeral 11 denotes a support provided at both ends of the guide rail 5.

The retractor 8 has a built-in winding and withdrawing mechanism such as a well-known spring, and accommodates a cord 9 such as a wire so as to be freely drawn.

As described above, the cord 9 is attached to the front surface of the case 4.
Is formed in a laterally elongated shape along the lengthwise direction of the case 4, and the tip of the cord 9 pulled out from this is fixed in the middle of the oil supply hose 13 leading out from the front surface of the housing 1a of the oil supply device 1. Fix at 16. Then, the oil supply nozzle 14 attached to the tip of the oil supply hose 13 is hooked on the nozzle hook 15 formed on the front surface of the housing 1a.

In this state, the oil supply hose 13 led out from the housing 1a is hung from the outlet and bent downward into a U-shape, and then is pulled up upward to be engaged with the cord 9 while being locked upward. The part is bent into an inverted U-shape, then hung down again, and bent downward into a U-shape to start up.
Will be hooked on the nozzle hook 15,
The length of 13 can be made long, and the reach of the oil supply nozzle 14 at the tip of the oil supply hose 13 is expanded.

When the refueling device 1 is not used, the refueling hose 13 hangs down along the front surface of the housing 1a in the above-described state while curving vertically. Therefore, there is no slack on the ground and no protrusion from the island.

When the refueling device 1 is used, the refueling nozzle 14 is removed from the nozzle hook 15 and pulled in the direction of the refueling port of the automobile, the tensile force is transmitted to the refueling hose 13, and the retractor 8 is guided along the guide rail 5. The rope 9 is pulled out from here while moving. As a result, the portion of the fuel supply hose 13 that is fixed to the cord 9 by the fixing bracket 16 descends in the pulling direction, and the fuel supply hose 13 relatively extends in the direction of the automobile.

In this case, the retractor 8 is the slide plate 6
Since it is rotatably attached to the upper part via the turntable 7,
The rope 9 from the retractor 8 in the pulling direction of the fueling hose 13
The withdrawal port of the cord 9 faces, and the cord 9 is pulled out smoothly.

Therefore, even if the vehicle stops at a position away from the fueling device 1, the fueling nozzle 14 reaches the fueling port of the vehicle,
As a result, the refueling area expands. Further, at this time, since the cord 9 is pulled out from the moving retractor 8, the pull-out length of the cord 9 is longer than that in the case where the retractor 8 is fixed as shown by the chain line in FIG. It needs less. As a result, the pull-out can be performed with a slight pulling force to facilitate the operation, and the settling of the mainspring and the like can be reduced, and the life of the retractor 8 can be extended.

Further, since the refueling hose 13 is pulled out while being locked to the rope 9, the weight of the worker holding the refueling hose 13 and the refueling nozzle 14 is reduced and the operation is easy. . Then, even if the retractor 8 is moved to the end of the guide rail 5, it abuts on the support tool 11,
The cord 9 does not hit the extraction hole 12 and is damaged.

When refueling is completed, the line 9 is wound around the retractor 8 by pulling the refueling hose 13 a little further, and the refueling hose 13 is pulled up to the case 4 side at the fixing metal fitting 16 and the housing 1a. Suspended along the front of the.

[0020]

As described above, the oil supply device of the present invention is
The length of the refueling hose can be increased to expand the refueling area.At the same time, even if the refueling hose is long, it does not sag around the housing and does not hang down, which hinders work or traveling of the vehicle when not in use. Of course, during use, the refueling hose extends in the refueling direction in a state in which the line is pulled out from the moving retractor and is easy to handle.
