Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a refueling device installed at a gasoline refueling station for automobiles and the like.

[Conventional technology]

There are multiple types of gasoline handled at these filling stations, such as ``regular,'' ``high octane,'' and ``light oil,'' and each type is refueled using a separate gasoline refueling machine.

By the way, it is dangerous if you mistakenly refuel with different types of gasoline. Therefore, in order to prevent incorrect refueling, the oil type is displayed on the front of the refueling machine's case and on the panel above the case, but also on the refueling nozzle, which is always held in hand and always looked at when refueling. The type of oil may be displayed, and conventional methods for displaying the oil type on the oil supply nozzle include writing directly on the oil supply nozzle with paint, or placing a sticker with the name of the oil type on it.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with this method, people often do not pay attention to the oil type display even if it is on the fuel nozzle at hand, if they are used to it during daily operations or their attention is distracted by other things. As a result, the oil type may not be confirmed, leading to incorrect refueling.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the disadvantages of the conventional example, to call the operator's attention, to be able to reliably inform the operator of the oil type, to prevent erroneous lubrication, and to be highly decorative. The purpose is to provide a refueling device.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fuel nozzle with an oil type display plate whose display changes depending on the viewing direction.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, since the oil type display section provided on the refueling nozzle changes depending on the viewing direction, the operator's attention is directed to the oil type display section, and the operator can see the type of gasoline handled by the refueling machine. It will definitely be conveyed.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a side view of a refueling nozzle which is a main part of the refueling device of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a front view of the refueling device. A fuel amount indicator 2 is provided on the front panel of the la, and an oil type indicator 3 of the gasoline handled by the fueling machine is displayed, for example, "Regul".
arJ r H1octanJ, etc., and a similar oil type display 3 is also provided on the front of the top case 1b. A refueling hose 5 having a refueling nozzle 4 at its tip corresponding to each type of oil is attached to both sides of the case 1a.

In the present invention, an oil type display plate 6 is further attached to the side surface of the main body portion 4a of the oil supply nozzle 4, as shown in FIG. This oil type display plate 6 is made of a transparent cut resin 6a whose surface is formed into a finely uneven surface so that the relationship between negative and positive characters and figures displayed changes depending on the viewing angle. Character 6b indicating species
The color is different depending on the angle of the uneven surface, etc., or multiple types are printed.

Next, to explain the effect, when starting refueling,
When the refueling nozzle 4 hanging on the nozzle hook 7 of the refueling machine case 1a is removed, the refueling nozzle 4 is moved from the nozzle hook 7 to the operator's hand. As a result, the angle of the operator's eyes with respect to the oil type display plate 6 changes, and for example, when the refueling nozzle 4 is on the nozzle hook 7, the letters 6b of ``RegularJ'' are visible in the negative state as shown in FIG. However, when the refueling nozzle 4 is held in the hand, it appears to change to a positive state as shown in FIG.

While holding the oil supply nozzle 4 in this way, press the oil type display section 6.
Since the display state of the display plate 6 changes, the operator's attention is directed to the display plate 6.

The manner in which the oil type display plate 6 changes is as described above.
In addition to changing b to negative/positive status, you can also change the display position of the characters, erase the oil type characters and change to a preset uniform color for each oil type, or change the number of the fueling machine or the name of the gasoline filling station. The display may be changed.

In addition, in the case of the oil supply nozzle 4, the oil type display plate 6 may be installed in any place other than the part that is hidden by hands or the tank, such as the grip part or the insertion part of the tip into the tank, as shown in Fig. 6. The display plate 6 can also be formed into a circular shape.

Further, in addition to the refueling nozzle 4, it may be provided on the nozzle hook 7 or the refueling machine case 1a above it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the refueling device of the present invention, since the oil type display changes at the refueling nozzle at hand, which is always visible when refueling, the operator's attention is called to the operator's attention, and the oil type of the gasoline handled by the refueling device changes. Since this is always confirmed, it is possible to prevent incorrect refueling, and it is also possible to enhance the decorativeness of the refueling nozzle portion.
