Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fueling station for replenishing fuel oil to automobiles and the like.

Such gas stations are often located on the side of the road with a large frontage so that moving cars can easily enter and exit freely, and are very visible. On the other hand, a so-called suspended type refueling device in which a refueling hose is hung from a ceiling (canopy) is often used as a refueling device installed at a gas station.

By the way, in conventional gas stations, the case of the lighting device suspended from the canopy and the case of the refueling device (the one that handles the hose) have been separate and have completely different shapes. In this way, the case of the lighting device and the case of the refueling device are intertwined with each other and hung in the same canopy without uniformity, giving a very complicated feeling.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional example, to make the gas station more fashionable, to make it look better and more conspicuous than the conventional one by eliminating as much as possible parts that give a cluttered feeling, and to make it look better and more conspicuous than the conventional one. To provide a refueling station capable of reducing costs by making both cases of a refueling device compatible with each other.

However, according to the present invention, this objective is achieved by making the case of the suspended refueling device and the case of the lighting device substantially the same shape, and by suspending a plurality of both cases from the canopy.

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

Fig. 1 is an external perspective view showing a first embodiment of a gas service station of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a case used in this embodiment. Reference numeral 41 indicates a case of a lighting device suspended from the canopy 2, 41 a case of a refueling device also suspended from the canopy 2, 5 a fuel quantity indicator provided on the wall of the gas station 1, and 16 an office. The lighting device case 31 and the fuel supply device case 41 are independent, and a plurality of each are suspended from the canopy 2 via pillars 10° and 10' at a certain distance from each other.

Incidentally, the case 31 and the case 41 use a case body 61 having the same shape, and the case body 61 is, for example, a flat box made of a milky-white translucent material such as acrylic, as shown in FIG. It is made up of a combination of a shaped lower part 61a and an upper part 61b made of a transparent material and recessed upward from the periphery of the lower part 61.2. Further, the case body 6 is removable, and the lighting case 3
When used as 1, fluorescent lights 7 and 7' are arranged inside, while when used as a refueling device case 41, a metal inner case 8 is placed in the lower part with a long hole for lateral movement of the hose. It has a double case structure. In this case, the case body 61 has a role as a decorative case, and a long hole 61c matching the above-mentioned long hole is provided in the bottom surface of the lower part 61a. As is well known, the inner case 8 houses a hose reel, a motor that drives the hose reel, and a hose processing mechanism such as a cam switch that detects the length of the refueling hose 12 (described later) by the rotation of the hose reel. The fed-out refueling hose 12 is suspended below the case body 61 through the elongated hole 61C. In the figure, reference numeral 9 denotes a refueling nozzle provided at the tip of the refueling hose 12.

Note that the lighting device case 3 using such a case body 61
1 and the hollow support 10.1 for suspending the oil supply device case 41.
0' is used as an outer wiring tube in case 3, and case 41
In this case, it is also used as an outer pipe for wiring and a fuel supply pipe. Furthermore, in the case of the oil supply device case 41, the internal case 8
It is also possible to place a fluorescent light 7.7' between the case body 61 and the case body 61 so that the lighting device case 31 can also be used.

In this way, when the fluorescent light 7.7' is turned on, the lower part of the case body 61 is translucent, so it can be illuminated without showing the internal mechanism, and the upper part is transparent, so by directly illuminating the canopy, it can be used at a gas station. The upper part can be made brighter to make it more visible even from a distance.

FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of a gas station showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a case body used in this second embodiment. A case body 62 having the same box shape was used. The case body 62 is entirely made of a translucent material, and when detachably attached to the canopy 2, the building blocks are connected to each other laterally and in a plane so as to be arranged side by side.

When the case main body 62 is used as the illumination device case 32, fluorescent lights 7, 7' are arranged inside as in the first embodiment, and when the case body 62 is used as the refueling device case 42, the inner case 8 is housed therein. In this case, if the case 8 is housed diagonally and the elongated hole 62c is also formed diagonally, the case main body 62 can have a small external shape, which takes up limited space. More can be provided in the canopy 2. In this way, in the second embodiment, a kind of ceiling surface is formed by the collection of the case bodies 62, and the case body 62 when used as the oil supply device case 42
As shown in FIG. 3, indications 11 such as oil type and number are directly written on the bottom surface of the case body 62.

Further, as shown in the figure, if the oil supply amount indicator 5 installed on the wall or the like above the office 16 is installed diagonally, it will save space and can be installed in a small space. Also, as in the first embodiment, the oil supply device case 4
In the case of z, a fluorescent light 7.7' may be housed between the inner case 8 and the case body 62 to serve as a lighting device.

FIG. 5 is an external perspective view showing a third embodiment of the fueling station of the present invention, in which the illumination device case 33 and the fueling device case 43 both use a case body 63 consisting of a horizontally long rectangular box,
When suspended from the canopy 2, the case body 63 is connected linearly. In either case where these case bodies 63 are used as the case 33 or the case 43, they are each suspended from the canopy 2 via the hollow supports 10, 10', as in the first embodiment. When the case body 63 is used as the refueling device case 43, it may be possible to store only the hose processing device or its case inside and not use it as a lighting device, but as shown in FIG.
A fluorescent light 7,7° may be disposed between the fuel supply device case and the fuel supply device case with an illumination device. In this case, the case 33 dedicated to the illumination device and the illuminated refueling device 43 are lined up consecutively. The case body 63 is also transparent at its upper surface a, and the other parts are semitransparent.

Further, as another embodiment of the fuel supply device case, as shown in FIG. 7, an auxiliary case 43b having a transparent upper surface a and a semi-transparent upper surface a on both sides or one side of the main body portion 43a of the fuel supply device case 43 is provided. and a fluorescent light 7″ inside the auxiliary case 43b.
It is also possible to store it vertically and use it as a case with a lighting device.

As described above, in the fueling station of the present invention, the case of the suspended refueling system and the case of the lighting system have approximately the same shape, and a plurality of both cases are suspended from the canopy, so that it is not as easy as in the conventional case. The two cases with different shapes are not scattered on the same canopy, giving a cluttered feeling.We aim to create a total fashion, and by eliminating the ununiform and complicated parts, it stands out more than before, and the lighting system and fuel supply It is possible to reduce costs by making the device case compatible.
