Patent number: 8038027Abstract: The fuel cap includes an outer cap as an outer envelope, an inner cap removably fitted in the outer cap through an opening therein, a canister located in a space between the outer cap and the inner cap for adsorbing a vaporized fuel. The fuel cap closes a fuel filler port for feeding a fuel to a fuel tank. The canister adsorbs a vaporized fuel vaporized from the fuel in the fuel tank. At least one of the outer cap and the inner cap defines a communication hole communicating with the space and an exterior. The canister includes a housing; and an adsorbent accommodated therein. The housing defines, on an end surface directed to the inner cap, an inlet for vaporized fuel and on another end surface directed to the outer cap, an outlet for gas.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2007Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Toyo Roki Seizo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroyasu Ohsawa, Takashi Sakagami

Patent number: 7584931Abstract: A case holding mechanism includes a holding member and a member to be held thereby, one being mounted to the case and another to a body to which the case is to be held. The member to be held includes a first pair of parallel guide portions and another pair of parallel guide portions perpendicular to the one paired guide portions. The holding member disposed to be movable with respect to the guide portions therealong in a state restricted in thickness direction of the guide portions and adapted to hold the member to be held. The holding member includes a pair of slide portions slidable along outer surfaces of one paired guide portions, a lock portion extending between the paired slide portions in parallel with the one paired guide portions and engaged with the other paired guide portions, and a base portion connecting the slide portions and the lock portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Toyo Roki Seizo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroyasu Ohsawa, Kazuya Matsuura, Takashi Sakagami, Kouichi Ikuma

The fuel cap includes an inner cap removably fitted in the outer cap through an opening of the outer cap. The fuel cap includes a canister located in a space between the outer cap and the inner cap for adsorbing a vaporized fuel. The fuel cap closes a fuel filler port for feeding a fuel to a fuel tank. The canister adsorbs a vaporized fuel vaporized from the fuel in the fuel tank. At least one of the outer cap and the inner cap defines a communication hole communicating with the space and an exterior. The canister includes a housing; and an adsorbent accommodated in the housing. The housing defines, on an end surface directed to the inner cap, an inlet for a vaporized fuel to flow into the inlet. The housing defines, on another end surface directed to the outer cap, an outlet for a gas, from which the vaporized fuel has been absorbed, to flow out of the outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2007Publication date: May 15, 2008Applicant: TOYO ROKI SEIZO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hiroyasu OHSAWA, Takashi SAKAGAMI
