Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Object] An object of the present invention is to prevent an opening / closing lid of a fuel inlet from interfering with a slide door in an automobile having a door with a slide door. [Structure] An opening / closing lid 9 hinged to a fuel inlet 4 is biased in an opening direction by a spring 12, and when unlocked, the opening / closing lid 9 is such that a finger F is inserted by the biasing force of the spring 12 and a sliding door. Open so that it does not interfere with 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an opening / closing lid for a fuel inlet of a vehicle such as a one-box car in which a slide door is attached to an entrance / exit on the side of the vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in Fig. 4, a slide door (3) that opens rearward is attached to the side entrance / exit (2) of the one-box car (1). A fuel inlet (4) is arranged behind the entrance / exit (2). As shown in FIG. 5, the conventional fuel inlet (4) is provided with a recess (5) at a predetermined position on the side panel (1A) of the automobile (1), and a plug (6) is attached to the recess (5). The injection port (7) is accommodated, and the recess (5) is closed by an opening / closing lid (9) hinged to the vehicle body side via a hinge (8), and the opening / closing lid (9) is locked ( Locked by 10).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With the above configuration, the opening / closing lid (9) is unlocked and opened to the dotted line position when refueling. When the door (3) is opened, the lid (9) collides with the door (3).

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention is an opening / closing lid (9) hinged to a fuel inlet (4) arranged on the rear side of an entrance / exit (2) with a sliding door on the side of an automobile. In the unlocked state, the opening / closing lid (9) is urged by the spring (12) so that it does not interfere with the slide door (3) and opens with an opening that allows the finger F to enter. The opening and closing lid is provided.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the present invention, when the opening / closing lid (9) of the fuel inlet (4) is unlocked, the spring (12) is opened to the extent that the finger F can be inserted. However, in this state, the opening / closing lid (9) does not interfere with the sliding door (3). At the time of refueling, the finger F is put on the opening / closing lid (9) and the opening / closing lid (9) is fully opened.

[0006]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. The attached injection port (7) is housed to form a fuel injection port (4), and an opening / closing lid (9) is attached to the fuel injection port (4). The opening / closing lid (9) is hinged to the fuel inlet (4) through the hinge (8) of the bracket (11) attached to the vehicle body side, but is biased in the opening direction by the spring (12). Has been done.

The spring (12) has a U shape composed of a long side (12A), an end side (12B) and a short side (12C), and the long side (12A) and the short side (12C) are respectively C-shaped. It is bent like a letter, the root end is pivotally attached to the bracket (11) via the collar (13), and the edge (12B) is opened and closed via the collar (14). (9) It is rotatably connected to the bottom surface.

In the above structure, when the lock (10) of the opening / closing lid (9) is released by the key, the opening / closing lid (9) is opened by the urging force of the spring (12) to such an extent that the finger F can be inserted. In this case, the protrusion amount W ₂ of the opening / closing lid (9) is smaller than the gap W ₁ between the slide door (3) and the side panel (1A), so that the opening / closing lid (9) can be opened even if the sliding door (3) is opened. Does not interfere with the door (3).

When refueling, the opening / closing lid (9) is fully opened as shown in FIG. 2 by placing a finger F on the gap of the opening / closing lid (9) as a clue. At this time, the short side (12C) of the spring (12) is fully extended to support the opening / closing lid (9) in a fully opened state. Then remove the stopper (6) and insert the gun (15) into the inlet (7) to refuel.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, in the present invention, the opening of the opening / closing lid of the fuel inlet is regulated by the spring, it does not interfere with the sliding door, it can be used as a clue to put a finger, and the opening / closing lid can be easily fully opened when refueling.
