Definitions

  • the invention is intended to prevent theft or unwanted extraction of fuel in a motor vehicle, such that when the safety cap of the invention is housed in the inlet of a fuel tank, this cap is fully secured without the possibility of Extraction, by means of a mechanism comprising articulated flat bars or profiles and an endless thyme, that mechanically secure the assembly to the tank from its interior, in addition the cap of the invention has a lock and safety plates that prevent access to the cited mechanism, preventing possible theft of fuel.

  • the field of application of the invention is comprised within the mechanics sector, specifically in the combustion engine plugs in large tonnage motor vehicles.
  • the safety plugs as described need a previous installation in the inlet port of the tank to be protected, however with this security cap this installation becomes unnecessary because the plug in its assembly can be easily introduced and removed every time a user needs to refuel, however once the cap is secured in the tank inlet, it becomes physically unfeasible to access inside the tank since the assembly remains fully mechanically secured by gripping its mechanism below the internal cavity of the tank mouth.
  • the safety cap of the invention tries to be forced, it rotates on its own axis, but in no case allows its extraction from the mouth, which is nonexistent in the aforementioned registry. Therefore, we consider that with the safety cap object of the present invention provides improvements and structural and technical differences different from what is known in this sector.
  • the object of the invention is fundamentally structural and functional, that is to say structural because the safety cap of the present invention is constituted by a mechanism formed by metal profiles or bars articulated with each other that are actuated by the mechanical action on a thyme without purpose, which is totally different from the one presented in the aforementioned record; and functional because l
  • the resistance to the extraction or violation offered by the safety cap of the invention substantially improves that presented by the rectangular plate of the indicated register, since the aforementioned registration plate only offers resistance at a point on the edge of the mouth of the container , while in the lid of the invention this resistance is present in each and every one of the points of the cap of the cap against the inlet mouth of the tank.
  • the cap of the invention has a bushing located on the neck of the tank that prevents breakage of the mouth of said tank in case of theft, thereby protecting the internal mechanism of the cap; and also has a safety plate, located on a lock, which by means of a seal prevents access to the mechanism preventing the removal of the safety plug, even to the drivers themselves, all in a totally different way and improved to what is known so far In this sector.
  • the cap of the invention it grabs the mouth of the tank both externally and internally, while in the case of the register indicated above ES0237626U, this grip is only possible from the inside.
  • the safety cap of the present invention provides differential improvements, compared to conventional fuel tank caps in motor vehicles, by means of a different and improved structural configuration than that presented in the caps known to date. These differences make the cap of the invention more resistant and safe against possible theft or unwanted manipulation;
  • another consequence of the structural difference of its mechanism is that the cap of the invention can be adapted to any height of the neck of the mouth of a tank, in a totally different way than the safety caps currently known, which have a fixed grip height.
  • the safety cap for fuel tank in vehicles of the invention is comprised of a cover, a mechanism, a safety lock, safety plates, a bushing, a chain and mechanical actuation means, such as a safety key and a crank; in such a way that the mechanism is attached inferiorly to the lid, the security lock is housed inside the body of the lid, the safety plates are located on the plate protecting the lock, the bushing is located around the neck of the mouth of the tank and the chain is fixed at one end of the mechanism.

  • a security lock is housed in the central part of the lid.
  • Another detail of the invention is that, on both sides of said cover, it has fixed plates where a mechanism is attached.
  • This mechanism is made up of rigid flat profiles or bars articulated with each other, so that an endless thyme, which is housed in a through hole that has the central hole of the lid, acts as a driving element.

  • the endless thyme which is accessible with a crank through the cavity of the lid, it rotates on its axis and transmits the vertical movement to the mobile nut, which in turn transmits its movement to the articulated bars on its fins. It is noted that the endless thyme is accessible by means of said crank when a safety lock, described below, has not been introduced on the cover.
  • the bars that make up the mechanism open under the inner walls of the tank mouth, so that the ends of at least two flat bars protrude through the mouth internal of the tank, the assembly being secured or held inferiorly to the mouth.
