Abstract: An air supply apparatus supplies air to an airbag of a seat includes a support panel and a functional component. A first direction is a thickness of the base, a second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, and a direction orthogonal to both the first direction and the second direction is a third direction. A first restriction wall and a second restriction wall extend from the base in the first direction, spaced at an interval in the second direction, and sandwich the functional component in the second direction. A coupling wall extends from the base in the first direction and couples the first restriction wall to the second restriction wall in the second direction. Two guide walls are spaced in the third direction and sandwich the functional component in the third direction. Pressing portions sandwich the functional component together with the coupling wall in the first direction.

The tube body and the connection pipe having cooperating engaging members for holding the tube body within the connection pipe. The tube body covers an inner wall of the bellows part.

Abstract: A fuel tube having an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) layer formed of an EVOH-based extruded EVOH material, and a modified MHDPE layer formed of an extruded MHDPE material which is based on modified medium high density polyethylene (modified MHDPE) or is based on a polymer alloy containing mainly modified MHDPE. The modified MHDPE is a dicarboxylic acid-modified material having a melt mass flow rate value (190° C.: JIS K 7210) of about 0.01 to 0.9 g/10min. The interlayer adherability between the EVOH layer 14 and the modified MHDPE layer 16 is maintained while maintaining the anti-fuel permeability and the flexibility of the fuel tube 12.

Abstract: A resinous tube has opposite ends into one of which a mating member is fitted and with which the mating member is connected, and includes a sealing ring, a fastening cap, and a clamp. The sealing ring is disposed on an inner peripheral surface of the opposite end, and contacts elastically with an outer peripheral surface of the mating member. The fastening cap is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the opposite end on an outer end side thereof with respect to the sealing ring, and contacts elastically with the outer peripheral surface of the mating member. The clamp is disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the opposite end, which is provided with the fastening cap on the inner peripheral surface, and tightens the fastening cap. The resinous tube exhibits good sealing and fastening abilities, requires less component parts, and can be connected with any mating members.

Abstract: A filler device comprising: a filler neck including a pouring inlet through which a fuel is injected and a neck connection portion; a connection pipe including a pipe connection end to which the neck connection portion is connected and a bellows part which is curved along a filling passage to a fuel tank; wherein the fuel injected through the pouring inlet is fed into the fuel tank through a filling passage, the connection pipe is provided with a pipe-side engaging portion on a back side of the pipe connection portion, the filler device further includes an inner tube including a tube body formed of a flexible elastomer material and inserted into the connection pipe, and a tube-side engaging portion projecting from an outer circumference at an end of the tube body, the inner tube is configured so that the tube body covers an inner wall of the bellows part and that the tube-side engaging portion is engaged with the pipe-side engaging portion, when the inner tube is inserted into the connection pipe, reaching to

Abstract: A filler neck includes a neck body made from resin, a retainer made of metal, and a sealing member securing a sealing property between the neck body and the retainer. The neck body has an upstream end, a fuel supply opening opened at the upstream end, a downstream end communicating with a fuel tank, an outer peripheral surface, an inner peripheral surface, and a flange disposed on the outer peripheral surface and being fixed to a vehicle-side member. The fuel supply opening is opened and closed by a fuel cap. The retainer has an engagement portion and an outer peripheral surface, and is fastened to the fuel cap. The engagement portion is engaged with the neck body. The sealing member is disposed between the inner peripheral surface of the neck body and the outer peripheral surface of the retainer.

Abstract: A fuel tube having an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) layer formed of an EVOH-based extruded EVOH material, and a modified HDPE layer formed of an extruded HDPE material which is based on modified high density polyethylene (modified HDPE) or is based on a polymer alloy containing mainly modified HDPE. The modified HDPE is a dicarboxylic acid-modified material having a melt mass flow rate value (190° C.: JIS K 7210) of about 0.2 to 10.0 g/10 min. The interlayer adherability between the EVOH layer 14 and the modified HDPE layer 16 is maintained while maintaining the anti-fuel permeability and the flexibility of the fuel tube 12.

Abstract: An inlet filler pipe comprises a pipe main body having a fuel passage for fueling fuel through an inlet into a fuel tank, and a flange formed on the pipe main body, for attachment to an outer wheel housing. A reinforcing element comprising a plurality of first ribs and second ribs arranged so as to surround the pipe main body is formed on the flange. The portion along the outer periphery of the pipe main body between first ribs and second ribs serves as a fragile portion, ensuring breaks at a load over a predetermined level.

Abstract: An inlet filler pipe comprises a pipe main body 41 having a fuel passage 40b for fueling fuel through an inlet 40a into a fuel tank, and a flange 42 formed on the pipe main body 41, for attachment to an outer wheel housing 30. A reinforcing element 70 comprising a plurality of first ribs 72a and second ribs 74a arranged so as to surround the pipe main body 41 is formed on the flange 42. The portion along the outer periphery of the pipe main body 41 between first ribs 72a and second ribs 74a serves as a fragile portion 76, ensuring breaks at a load over a predetermined level.

Abstract: A fuel feeding mechanism of the present invention has an inlet filler pipe that runs from a filler opening formed in an outer side member of an automobile to a fuel tank. The inlet filler pipe has a flange. The inlet filler pipe is attached to an outer wheel house across a seal cup that is held between the flange of the inlet filler pipe and the outer wheel house. The inlet filler pipe is inserted from outside of the automobile through the filler opening toward the fuel tank and is attached to the outer wheel house. This arrangement enhances workability.
