Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for a tank such as a fuel tank or a lubricant tank. More particularly, it relates to a closure device for the tank of a portable handheld tool.
  • the engine driven handheld tools are provided with a tank such as a fuel tank or a lubricant tank with a refill opening.
  • Typical closure device for the threaded fill opening of the tank may include a threaded cap which is engageable with the corresponding threads in the refill opening. The threaded cap closes off the refill opening tightly with respect to the ambient by tightening the cap in the refill opening.
  • Most of the conventional closure devices provide an unfavorable grip to an operator. Also, a portion of the cap that protrudes outwardly when the cap is in the closed position is used for gripping by the operator. Moreover, caps with an openable gripping portion are also used in the handheld tools. The openable gripping portion may be opened to provide a better grip to the operator while releasing or tightening of the cap. These caps may be better than the conventional caps, however, they suffer from the problem of unintended opening of the openable gripping portion. The unintended opening of the openable gripping portion may result in breaking of the cap or unintended releasing of the cap.
  • a closure device for a tank such as, but not limited to, a fuel tank or a lubricant tank of the handheld tool. Moreover, there exists a need for the closure device which provides a better grip to an operator while releasing or tightening of a cap.
  • an objective is to provide a means for closing the refill opening of a tank such as a fuel tank or a lubricant tank of a handheld power tool.
  • the closing means may be opened to provide a convenient grip to an operator.
  • the objective is achieved by a closure device for closing a refill opening of a tank in a handheld power tool described in claim 1 .
  • the closure device comprises a body portion and a pivotal member.
  • the body portion may be arranged for engagement with the refill opening.
  • the body portion also defines a longitudinal axis.
  • the pivotal member may be pivotal about a pivotal axis and pivotally connected to the body portion for movement between a retracted position and a protruding position.
  • the pivotal member includes a grip portion that in the protruding position extends outwardly of the body portion to form a grip. This helps an operator in loosening and tightening of the closure device.
  • the closure device is characterized in that the pivotal member is lockable in the protruding position by means of a holding member, wherein a first part of the holding member is secured to the pivotal member and a second part of the holding member is secured to the body portion.
  • the closure device is further characterized in that it further comprises a biasing member arranged for urging the pivotal member towards the retracted position.
  • the closure device With such a closure device the tightening and loosening of the closure device is facilitated by the protruding grip portion. It is easy to use for the operator even if he or she for instance is wearing gloves, since the grip portion may be locked in the protruding position when the tank is being opened or closed. At the same time, when the pivotal member is released from the lockable protruding position, the biasing member urges the pivotal member towards the retracted position. Thereby, the closure device may provide a smooth outer surface automatically when the pivotal member is not in the protruding position.
  • the body may be provided with threads for engagement with corresponding threads on the refill opening.
  • the body portion and the refill opening may also, in another embodiment, be provided with other engagement means than threads, such as means for a bayonet coupling, snapping means or the like.
  • the holding member comprises a first fastening member attached to the pivotal member and a second fastening member attached to the body portion.
  • the first and the second fastening members are adapted to engage each other when the pivotal member is in the protruding position.
  • the fastening members may be arranged for engaging each other when the operator moves the pivotal member to the protruding position. In that way, an amount of torque may be needed to move the pivotal member to the lockable protruding position such that a branch that may hook on to the pivotal member would not be able to move the pivotal member to the lockable protruding position.
  • the fastening members may also provide a strong holding function for the pivotal member in the protruding position when the operator looses or tightens the closure device.
  • the amount of torque needed for releasing the fastening members from each other may be greater than the amount of torque provided by the biasing member when urging the pivotal member towards the retracted position.
  • the holding member may be a resilient member.
  • the resilience of the member may set the amount of force needed for moving the pivotal member to the lockable protruding position.
  • a threshold position is arranged for the pivotal member between the retracted position and the protruding position, and for a position of the pivotal member between the threshold position and the protruding position, the resilient member urges the pivotal member towards the protruding position.
  • the protruding position may easier be reached when moving the pivotal member.
  • the pivotal member is held in the protruding position by the resilient member constantly urging the pivotal member towards the protruding position, until an operator moves the pivotal member passed the threshold position.
  • the resilient member may be a spring attached in one end to the pivotal member and in another end to the body portion.
  • the resilient member may be a conical pressure spring.
  • the spring may provide the urging function on the pivotal member towards the protruding position when the pivotal member is in a position between the threshold position and the protruding position.
  • the spring may hold the pivotal member in the protruding position by spring force.
  • the biasing member is the same as the resilient member, and for a position of the pivotal member between the threshold position and the retracted position, the resilient member urges the pivotal member towards the retracted position.
  • the resilient member is a spring attached to the pivotal member and the body portion.
  • the spring may urge the pivotal member towards the retracted position.
  • the spring may urge the pivotal member towards the protruding position and then hold the pivotal member in the protruding position, facilitating the grip for the operator when loosening or tightening the closure device.
  • the construction of the closure device may be simpler and more cost-effective when the same member urges the pivotal member to both the retracted and the protruding position.
  • the location of the threshold position may be set by the design of the spring and the pivotal member. Also the torque needed for moving the pivotal member to or from the protruding position may be set by the spring force.
  • the pivotal member may be pivotal about or with at least one pin, which at least one pin may be secured to the body portion.
  • the biasing member may be a torsion spring arranged around said at least one pin for urging the pivotal member to return to the retracted position.
  • the torsion spring may provide the urging function of the pivotal member towards the retracted position when the holding member or the resilient member not provides such urging. Thereby, the pivotal member may always be urged back to the retracted position if moved when not intended to.
  • the torque provided by the torsion spring for urging the pivotal member back to the retracted position is less than the torque needed for moving the pivotal member away from the protruding position.
  • the pivotal member may include a counter portion located on an opposite side of the pivotal axis with respect to the grip portion.
  • a recess portion may also be provided in the body portion for receiving the counter portion when the pivotal member is moved from the retracted position towards the protruding position.
  • the counter portion may be arranged in a way that it may be pressed down to assist in moving the pivotal member away from the retracted position. Further, according to claim 11 , a part of the counter portion may protrude a distance beyond the surrounding surface of the body portion in the retracted position of the pivotal member.
  • the pivotal member is easy to turn from the retracted position even if the operator for instance is wearing gloves. He or she must not be able to grip the grip portion edge of the pivotal member to get it moving from the retracted position. It is enough to be able to push on the counter portion to lift the grip portion from the retracted position.
  • the grip portion may extend a distance A from the pivotal axis and the counter portion may extend at least a distance of 0.25 A, and preferably at least 0.35 A, and even more preferably at least 0.45 A from the pivotal axis.
  • the counter portion may not be too small when the operator needs to push on the counter portion to lift the grip portion of the pivotal member. If the extension of the counter portion is too small, the area of the counter portion surface would be too small for the operator to push, and also the amount force needed to push the counter portion to lift the grip portion would be too large.
  • the pivotal member may include a securing portion that projects into the interior of the body portion for the retracted position of the pivotal member.
  • the resilient member may then be secured to the securing portion of the pivotal member.
  • the resilient member may further be pivotally secured to the securing portion.
  • At least a part of the pivotal member may in one embodiment be provided with a surface structure on a surface of the pivotal member facing away from the body portion.
  • the surface structure may include grooves, recesses, ribs or the like.
