BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card rack that also serves as an oil filler port stopper holder for preventing misplacement of an oil filler port plug and an oil filler card after oiling work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a gas station or the like, it is common to remove the plug of the oil filler port of the vehicle body and insert the oil filler nozzle into the oil filler port to perform oil lubrication. Since it is difficult to do the work when the operator holds the oil filler port plug in his / her hand because there is no such place, the oil filler port plug is often placed on the upper side of the oil meter during the oil lubrication work.

Recently, it has become common to use a card for payment of fees and the like, but such an oiling card is often placed on the upper side of the oil meter during the oiling operation.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, at present, with regard to the oil filler plug and the oil filler card, sometimes the user forgets to tighten the oil filler plug after the oiling operation and sometimes leaves the oil filler card. Examining the cause of the problem, not only because the lubrication port has a double structure with the lubrication port plug inside the body lid, but mainly, the position above the lubrication instrument is higher than the operator's eyes. However, I am not careful and I am leaving it.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has an object to provide a card rack that can also be used as an oil filler cap stopper and that can set both the oil filler cap and the oiling card that are easily left behind in positions that are easy to see, such as an oil meter. To do.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, in a card rack which is also used as an oil filler cap for a gas station according to the present invention, a tongue piece having a spring property is provided on the front side of the card rack body so that the card can be inserted and held. The card rack body is fixed to the dish to allow the vehicle oil filling port plug to be temporarily placed, while the card rack body or dish is fixed to the side surface of the gasoline lubrication instrument, the lubrication nozzle or the lubrication hose. The summary is that it is configured as described above.

The card rack body may be made of a synthetic resin material or the like, or may be made of a metal material. The tongue of the card rack may be separately formed from a material having a spring property and fixed to the card rack body. However, considering the manufacturing process, the card rack body is a metal plate having a spring property and It is preferable that they are integrally formed by stamping.

The dish may be made of a synthetic resin material or the like,
It may also be made of a metal material. The dish preferably has a circular shape, but may have other shapes. The dish body and the card rack body may be formed by forming a downward tongue piece and a protruding piece on the card rack body to fix the dish body, or may be fixed by welding, and further, a fixing bracket such as bolts and nuts. You may fix it by the etc. In the case of welding, the whole of the dish and the card rack may be made of a weldable material, or a part thereof, for example, only a fixed portion may be made of a weldable material.

When the card rack that also serves as the oil filler cap is attached to the side of the gasoline lubrication instrument, the lubrication nozzle or the lubrication hose, either the card rack body or the dish is attached to the side of the gasoline lubrication instrument, the lubrication nozzle or the lubrication hose. What is necessary is just to select it according to the shapes of the card rack body and the dish body. When it is fixed to the side surface of the gasoline lubrication meter, it is advisable to adhere it with a double-sided adhesive tape, but it goes without saying that it may be adhered with another method, for example, with an adhesive and then with bolts, nuts or other fixing metal fittings. Also, when fixing to the oiling nozzle or the oiling hose, it can be fixed with U bolts or other fixing fittings.

Further, in the case of a large vehicle, the oil filler plug is relatively large, and it is easy to drop it by simply placing it on the dish. However, since the oil filler plug of such a large vehicle is often made of metal, It is preferable that a magnet plate is attached to either the card rack body or the dish so that the oil filler cap can be magnetically attracted and fixed. Of course, it is not necessary to be provided when there is a risk of a data error of the lubrication card due to the magnetic force.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the oil filler cap of the vehicle can be temporarily placed in the vicinity of the main body of the card rack, and it can be set in an easy-to-see position near the oil meter. It can be placed in a position that is easy to see.
