Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a support device for a filler lid of an automobile.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, support devices for automobile filler lids include an inner hinge type and an outer hinge type.

As an external hinge type, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 107 fixed hinge member 109 and rotating hinge member 1
11 are fixed to each other and rotate around a hinge bin 115. In addition, as such a publicly known example, there is, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-24121.

On the other hand, as for the inner hinge type, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the opening flange of the filament base 105 is superimposed and fixed to the opening car body side peripheral edge 103 covered by the filarid 101, and a hinge storage part is formed on the negative side. . A gooseneck hinge 117 is disposed in the hinge storage portion, and the fixed hinge member 119 of the hinge 117 is fixed to the peripheral edge 103 and the rotating hinge member 121 is fixed to the filler lid 101, and the structure rotates around the hinge bin 123. It has become.

Incidentally, such known examples include, for example, Utility Model Application Publication No. 57
There is a publication No.-17820.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, the outer hinge type has a filler lid of 10
When the filler lid 101 rotates a certain amount, the flange of the filler lid 101 interferes with the fixed hinge member 109, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 3, and the amount of rotation of the filler lid 101 is restricted. On the other hand, since the paint seal P for rust prevention can be applied over the entire circumference of the overlapping end of the filler base 105 which is affected by water intrusion, favorable results can be obtained for rust prevention, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

In addition, while the inner hinge type can ensure a large amount of rotation of the filler lid 101, it is not possible to paint seal the entire circumference, and moreover, it forms an overlapping edge R that is difficult to apply paint to, so the rust-preventing surface 1 ( There were problems, etc. - There were pros and cons.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a support device for a filler lid of an automobile that is preferable in terms of ensuring a large amount of rotation, which is an advantage of an inner hinge and an outer hinge, and also in terms of rust prevention.

[Means for Solving Problems 1] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, the peripheral edge of the opening covered by the filler lid of the vehicle body and the opening flange of the filler base are bonded together, and the overlapped end is fixed to the opening flange of the filler base. While applying a paint seal over the entire circumference, the filler lid is rotatably supported on the filler base via a booth net type hinge that protrudes outward from an opening formed in the side of the filler base by a hinge bin. , the protrusion of the hinge is covered with a case, and the case is fixed to the opening via a sealing material.

[Function] In this structure, by rotating around the hinge bin, a large amount of rotation can be obtained, and a paint seal can be applied over the entire circumference of the overlapping end of the opening flange, where paint is difficult to apply. 1 [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings of FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a fuel filler lid (hereinafter referred to as filler lid) of an automobile 3, and a peripheral edge 7a of the open lower part of the rear fender panel 5 covered by the filler lid 1.
The opening flange 9a of the filler base 9 is polymerized and fixed to the filler base 9. A paint seal P is applied all around the overlapping end of the peripheral edge 7a and the filler base 9, and the joint surface between the opening flange 9a of the filler base 9 and the rear fender panel 5 is sealed all around with a sealing material W. .

On the other hand, the filler lid 1 is rotatably supported by a hinge 11. The hinge 11 consists of a fixed hinge member 17 and a rotating hinge part 19, and is formed into a gooseneck type in which the hinge bin 13 protrudes outward from an opening 15 provided on one side of the filler base 9. and,
The rotating hinge member 19 is fixed to the inner surface of the filler lid 1, and the fixed hinge member 17 is fixed to the flow chart of the opening 15 with screws 21. This allows the filler lid 1 to rotate around the hinge bin 13. Further, in the flowchart of the opening 15, the case 25 is fixed with a screw 21 via a sealing gasket 23, and one screw 21 is connected to the fixed hinge member 17.
It is installed to also serve as a fixation.

Note that 27 is a fuel filler tube connected to a fuel tank (not shown), and 29 is a key cylinder for locking and unlocking the lid 1.

The support device for the filler lid configured in this manner is of an inner hinge type that rotates around the hinge bin 13 as a fulcrum, so the filler lid 1 can rotate greatly and the lower opening can be secured widely. In addition, the peripheral edge 7a to which paint is difficult to adhere
Since the paint seal P is applied over the entire circumference of the overlapping end of the open flange 9a of the filler base 9, no shavings occur.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the filler lid support device of the present invention, the amount of rotation of the filler lid can be increased, so that a wide opening can be secured. Furthermore, since the edges of the overlapping portion are covered with a paint seal, favorable results can be obtained in terms of rust prevention.
