FIG. 1 shows an example of a commonly used evaporative gas generation prevention system for automobiles, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 10081/1981. In this system, fuel in a float chamber 2 of a carburetor 1 and evaporative gas generated during parking from a fuel tank 3 are guided to a canister 6 via pipes 4 and 5, where they are adsorbed by an adsorbent 7. When the engine is operating, the negative pressure generated downstream of the throttle valve 8 is used to discharge and burn the fuel component held by the adsorbent via the pipe 9. This prevents evaporated gas from being released into the atmosphere. The float chamber 2 has an air vent pipe 10, which is closed by a solenoid valve 11 when the vehicle is parked and opened when the vehicle is in operation. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the canister 6, with filters 14 and 15 located inside the grids 12 and 13, holding the adsorbent 7. Grids 12 and 13 are rigid bodies such as metal plates or resin,
There are many holes for ventilation. Such conventional canisters have the following problems. That is, float chamber 2, fuel tank 3
The evaporated gas flows into the canister 6 through the pipes 4 and 5, but it is cooled in the middle of the pipe,
Even liquids flow in. This liquid fuel has strong dispersion properties, so for example, if it is rubber piping,
Remains of mold release agent (grease), check valve 1
The dissolved grease and the like in the canister 6 mainly flows through the inner wall surface of the canister 6. on the other hand,
The filter 14 is made of a fine-mesh material (10 to 80 mesh) made of non-woven fabric, urethane foam material, etc., in order to prevent the fine powder of the adsorbent from flowing out. Although gasoline passes through such a filter, grease is captured by the filter 14 and gradually accumulates therein. If this accumulated amount exceeds the limit, it will appear as clogging, and at this stage, the evaporated gas cannot pass through the filter 14 and therefore cannot reach the layer of adsorbent 7, so that the desired adsorption action cannot be performed. In addition, fuel is forced out of the main nozzle 17 in the float chamber even when the gas pressure increases slightly. This leads to problems such as. In this case, the cycle of adsorbing evaporative gas when parking and releasing the adsorbed gas and burning it in the engine when the engine is running is no longer performed, so the system function to prevent evaporative gas from dispersing into the atmosphere is disabled. It will be damaged.

The present invention focuses on the fact that the absolute amount of grease that dissolves in liquid fuel and flows into the canister is an amount (5 g or less) that does not accumulate on a single filter and leaves no residue. By installing an oil-catching member specifically designed to absorb grease toward the upstream side of the filter, grease does not adhere to the downstream filter. This is to prevent clogging.
8. As shown in the figure, the oil and fat trapping nonwoven fabric 18 is provided with ventilation holes to ensure sufficient ventilation even when grease is completely trapped. There is. In addition, the material is preferably a fine-mesh nonwoven fabric that is optimal for impregnating and continuously capturing grease-like oils and fats. The present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5,
The cross-sectional structure of the nonwoven fabric has a fine-mesh dense layer part 18A,
The structure is divided into finely divided coarse layer portions 18B, and the coarse layer portions are oriented toward the grease inflow side in order to increase the amount of grease captured. For this reason, even in the holes where the inflowing grease easily passes through the oil-capturing nonwoven fabric 18, the fibers constituting the coarse layer that protrude into the holes will cause the grease to enter the dense layer, which is the original grease-trapping area. Through experiments, it was found that the grease does not pass through the hole, increasing the amount of grease captured. In addition, even when the fibers protruding into the holes are completely filled with oil, they do not block the holes, so evaporative gas flows in and out through these ventilation holes, which is the original function of the canister. will not be harmed. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively prevent grease from being trapped in the filter 14 and causing clogging.

FIG. 6 shows the non-woven fabric 18 for oil and fat capture being
9 and 20, and is an effective method when the material of the oil-trapping nonwoven fabric 18 cannot maintain its shape by itself. The retaining materials 19 and 20 must be made of a very coarse material that does not impregnate and retain oil and fat. By way of example, a starting material of glass wool is suitable.
