Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a radiator reservoir tank for a vehicle.

A vehicle's radiator reservoir tank is usually located in the engine compartment. However, since the engine room is narrow, it has been proposed to install it not in the engine room but at an appropriate location outside the vehicle body, for example, behind the front wheels. Providing a reservoir tank outside the car body in this way makes it easier to inspect and replenish water, but on the other hand, the lid of the reservoir tank, or cap, has a hole for air circulation; There were problems with the lid becoming clogged with dirt and other debris, and the lid being removed due to tampering with the vehicle while it was parked.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a radiator reservoir tank whose lid is not tampered with and whose holes are not clogged with dirt even when installed outside the vehicle body.

According to the present invention, a cover that covers the lid of a radiator reservoir tank is detachably provided to the tank body, and the cover shields the lid from the outside, preventing clogging of the hole in the lid and preventing tampering. This prevents the lid from falling off.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Radiator reservoir tank 1 shown in Figure 1
The tank body 2 is provided with a mouth part 3, and a lid body, that is, a cap 4 is fitted onto the mouth part 3. This cap 4 is provided with a ventilation hole 5 for keeping the internal pressure of the tank body 2 constant with the external pressure. At an appropriate position around the mouth 3 of the tank body 2, for example, on both upper and lower sides of the tank 2, there are marks shown in Fig. 2a.
As shown in the figure, a hook 6 is fixedly installed, and a cover 7 is detachably attached to the tank body 2 via this hook 6.
is installed. The cover 7 is made of an elastic material such as plastic and has a substantially U-shaped cross section.
A flange portion 8 is formed around the end portion thereof. This flange portion 8 is formed with an engaging groove 9 that engages with the hook 6, as shown in FIG. 2b. Therefore, if this engagement groove 9 is engaged with the hook 6 and the cover 7 is attached to the tank body 2,
The cap 4 is shielded from the outside by this cover 7. In order to removably attach the cover 7 to the tank body 2, one of the edges may be made detachable as described above, and the other edge may be attached rotatably to the hook 6. In this way, the cover 7 will never disappear. As shown in the figure, the cover 7 is formed with dimensions such that when the cover 7 is attached to the tank body 2, there is a gap between the inner surface of the cover 7 and the top surface of the cap 4 where the ventilation hole 5 is formed. has been done.

FIG. 3a is a side view of the embodiment described above, and as described above, a gap is created between the inner surface of the cover 7 and the top surface of the cap 4. On the other hand, as another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the cap 4a and the cover 7a may be integrated, and a ventilation hole 5a may be provided in the side surface of the cap 4a.

As described above, according to the present invention, a cover is provided that covers the lid body in a detachable manner from the tank body of a radiator reservoir tank that is attached to the outside of the vehicle body, and this cover shields the lid body from the outside. This prevents the hole in the lid from clogging and the lid from falling off due to mischief. Therefore, it is extremely suitable to implement the present invention in a reservoir tank installed outside the vehicle.
