Description

The utility model relates to the refueling section of the vehicle’s fuel tank and can be used as a shutter for the withdrawn neck of the fuel tank to protect against fuel drain and unauthorized entry.

The prior art there are many designs of anti-drain siphons that are installed directly in the neck of the fuel tank of a car (FR 2855463 (A1) - 2004-12-03, B60K 15/04; (IPC1-7): B60K 15/02) - Anti-siphonage device for vehicle eg truck, fuel tank, has sleeve with adapter that includes lower part having two tabs for tightening adapter on opening of fuel tank and one strip for locking adapter on opening) fl], (FR2463694 (A3) - 1981-02-27, B60K 15 / 04; (IPC1-7): B60K 15/02, Car fuel tank anti theft device - has perforated pipe closed at base inserted into filler pipe to prevent introduction of siphon hoses) [2], (GB 2078641, B61K 15/04 , GB 2078641 (A) - 1982-01-13, Preventing stealing of liquid from a tank) [3], (SU 1209517 A, IPC B65D 47/00 - 02/07/86, Vehicle fuel tank shutter.) [4] ,

(SU 1191317 A - 11.15.85, IPC B61K 15/04, Fuel filler neck of a vehicle’s fuel tank.) [5].

A known cap is the fuel filler neck of a vehicle’s fuel tank (SU 1773745 - 07.11.92, IPC B60K 15/05) [6], in which, with the aim of making it difficult for unauthorized and casual persons to access the fuel and eliminate its pollution with abrasive dust particles, it is equipped with a digital combination lock with a safety casing concentrically located around the perimeter of the cap, covering the neck of the fuel tank, and a dust filter that is installed in the cap above the inlet valve opening.

The known design of the cover cannot protect against unauthorized entry of a fuel tank with a throat.

The use of a combination lock reduces the reliability of the use of the lid, as in cold weather the lock may not work and block access to the gas station for the driver.

There are also covers with a lock, the lock of which is designed so that it can only be opened with the ignition key. This design is typical for many cars of French and American production, especially the Citroen brand. The lock is designed so that it is impossible to remove the key from it while it is open. Therefore, in order not to give a chance to a probable hijacker, the gas tank cover together with the keys must be carried with you to the ticket office and you have to come to terms with the inconvenience.

All the anti-vandal structures mentioned above cannot be used as a shutter for the removed neck of the fuel tank in GAZ cars and others like it to protect against fuel draining and unauthorized entry.

The closest to the construction of the claimed utility model is a special lock with a protective metal folding casing, which allows you to block the neck of the fuel tank so that attackers could not use the fuel. The diameter of the neck of the fuel tank is 94-104 mm - all European trucks Mercedes, Volvo, Man, DAF, Iveco, Renault. The simple device is made of high-strength steel, has several standard sizes, can be easily installed on a wide variety of fuel tanks and will help protect vehicles from fuel theft or unwanted entry. (RAFT-022 Protective sliding lock-casing of the fuel tank, online store Auto Tuning Group LTD, http://www.autotuninggroup.ru/) [7], adopted as a prototype.

The casing of the new anti-vandal device has the shape of a cylinder,

the height of which corresponds to 1/3 of the height of the neck together with the gas tank cap, rests on a ring-shaped rigid base and contains two compatible parts equipped with horizontal eyes for placing a padlock. The ring-shaped base of the lower part of the body anti-vandal device is installed directly on the neck of the gas tank, to the required length, then a padlock is placed in the eyes, which is closed with a key.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is protection against fuel drain and unauthorized entry into the withdrawn neck of the fuel tank of a vehicle.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the anti-vandal device for a fuel tank of a car comprises a metal cylindrical body mounted on the neck of the tank, on the outer surface of which one of the two eyes is rigidly fixed to place a padlock.

According to a utility model, a cylindrical body has a length of 1/3 of the length of the neck of the gas tank with a cover, the upper base of the body is equipped with a gasket to press it against the gas tank cover, a bracket is welded on one side of the body to accommodate the horizontal part of the folding U-shaped curved locking reinforcement in it, on the other end to which the second eye is rigidly fixed horizontally, which is locked when locking with the first eye on a cylindrical body in which holes are made for fasteners, for fixing sation on the surface of the withdrawn neck of the gas tank, while one of the holes is always made hidden behind the eye. In the particular case of execution:

- a rubber seal is used as a gasket;

- the cylindrical casing is made of stainless steel with a thickness of 2-8 mm;

- the diameter of the hole of the eyes is 0.8-25 mm;

- three holes are made in the cylindrical casing for fixing it on the surface of the withdrawn neck of the gas tank, while one of the holes is always made hidden behind the eye;

- the height of the vertical part of the eye fixed to the end of the locking reinforcement is 10-50 mm.

The prior art does not know devices for protection against draining the fuel tank with a throat, as, for example, a car "Gazelle".

The essence of the claimed utility model is illustrated by the figures of the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of the inventive anti-vandal device for a fuel tank of a car, cross section.

FIG. 2 is a plan view.

FIG. 3 is a photograph of an anti-vandal device for a fuel tank of a vehicle in the operating position of the locking fittings.

FIG. 4 is a photograph of the claimed utility model with an open locking fixture.

FIG. 5 is a photograph of the claimed utility model, with open locking fixtures, top view.

FIG. 6 is a photograph of a fuel tank of a Gazelle car with a throat pulled out.

The anti-vandal device for a vehicle’s fuel tank contains (Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) a metal cylindrical body 1 on which a horizontal eye is rigidly fixed, the upper base of which is provided with a gasket 2 for pressing against the gas tank cover, in the upper part of which is welded bracket 3 for placement of a folding U-shaped curved locking reinforcement 4 in it, at the other end of which is attached its own horizontal eye 5, which is locked when locking with a horizontal eye 6 on a cylinder eskoy case 1, inside which are made holes 7, 8, 9 under

fasteners turned outward by thread to fix it on the surface of the withdrawn neck of the gas tank. The hole 7 is made in the upper part of the housing 1, and the holes 8, 9 in the lower part of the housing 1, one opposite the other. The hole 7, as well as the fastener that fixes the anti-vandal device to the neck of the gas tank through the hole 7, is always located behind the horizontal eye 5, mounted on the folding U-shaped curved locking fittings 4, in order to prevent the attacker from removing the anti-vandal device from the neck of the gas tank, when removing fasteners from holes 8 and 9, or not using fasteners in holes 8 and 9 at all. In a specific embodiment, a rubber seal is used as the gasket 2, the cylindrical body 1 is made of stainless steel 2-8 mm thick, the diameter of the holes of the eyes 5, 6 is 0.8-25 mm, the height of the vertical part of the eye 5, fixed to the end of the latch reinforcement 4 is 10-50 mm. The cylindrical body 1 is put on the withdrawn neck of the fuel tank, screw fasteners from the outside through holes 7, 8, 9 to press the legs of the bolts to the surface of the throat, then a rubber seal is installed on the top of the cylindrical body, and the gas tank cover is installed on top of it (on the drawing the cover is not shown), then the locking fittings are moved to the position in which the eye 5 will be tightly aligned with the eye 6, in which the padlock is placed (not shown in the drawing).

The inventive anti-vandal device made by the author of this utility model has been successfully used to protect against unauthorized draining of fuel on the gas tank of the Gazelle car, and there is a need for such a device for all car owners with a throat. The device is not expensive, consists of standard simple elements, the reliability of the fuel tank protection is due to

the thickness of the steel handle of the padlock, the sawing of which will take a lot of time from the intruder and will attract the attention of, for example, security.
