Patent number: 5082016Abstract: A first port is provided in a fuel tank of an automobile for introducing an open air therefrom when the liquid surface of fuel lowers in the fuel tank. There is provided a float in the fuel tank which is detached from a second port when the liquid surface is under a predetermined level in the fuel tank but closes the second port when the liquid surface exceeds the predetermined level for preventing the fuel from overflowing the first port. There are provided a diaphragm and a rod to be operated by the diaphragm inside the float for preventing the float being kept adhered to the second port by pushing back the diaphragm by the rod.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1990Date of Patent: January 21, 1992Assignee: Kyosan Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hideyo Nakamura

Patent number: 5055187Abstract: A known fuel filter is formed by a meshed body in a bag shape made of a synthetic resin while the meshed body is penetrated to form a fuel passage which is open toward the inside of the meshed body. The known fuel filter is attached to a portion adjacent to a bottom of the fuel tank for preventing water and a dust accumulated inside the fuel tank from being drawn inside the fuel filter. However, the known fuel filter has the fuel passage penetrating the central portion of the meshed body so that the degree of freedom of attachment is reduced. On the other hand, a fuel filter according to the present invention comprises a piece of meshed body being folded double, an outer flange and an inner flange respectively having a fuel passage and being connected to each other from the inside and the outside of the doubled folded portion, a swollen supporter provided integrally with or separately from the inner flange.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1989Date of Patent: October 8, 1991Assignee: Kyosan Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koichi Ito, Kitio Ogaki

Patent number: 5012838Abstract: The present invention relates to a solenoid valve disposed over a fuel tank and incorporating a liquid surface detecting valve for detecting the liquid surface in a fuel tank. The solenoid valve comprises a plunger and an adhesion preventive pin wherein the adhesion preventive pin is lowered in the direction of the liquid surface detecting valve at the time of opening of the solenoid valve and the same pin pushes the liquid surface detecting valve downward at the time when the liquid surface detecting valve is attached and adhered to a valve seat thereof, whereby the liquid surface detecting valve is open with assurance.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1990Date of Patent: May 7, 1991Assignees: Kyosan Denki Kabushiki Kaisha, Fuji Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshirou Kawase, Shiro Saito, Masanobu Miyake

Patent number: 4551071Abstract: A fuel filter unit having a fuel inlet chamber is threadedly mounted on a fuel pump for easy detachment therefrom. A tubular holder is fixed to the fuel pump for receiving fuel flowing out of the fuel filter unit when the latter is replaced. The fuel filter unit has a drain groove for collecting foreign matter trapped in fuel, so that any collected foreign matter will be discarded along with the fuel filter unit at the time of replacing the same. The fuel pump and the fuel filter unit are in fluid communication through an arrangement which includes a connector disposed in the fuel pump, and a fuel inlet pipe is connected to the connector through a side wall of the fuel pump. Therefore, it is not necessary to detach the fuel inlet pipe when the fuel filter unit is replaced.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1984Date of Patent: November 5, 1985Assignee: Kyosan Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kichio Ohgaki, Kazuhiro Ohshima

Patent number: 4295414Abstract: A diaphragm-type fuel pump defining therein an outlet chamber for supplying fuel to a carburetor. A return pipe is connected to the interior of the outlet chamber to permit return of vapors to the fuel tank. An outlet pipe communicates with the outlet chamber for supplying fuel to the carburetor float chamber. The fuel pump has an outlet valve associated therewith for supplying fuel into the outlet chamber. The open inlet end of the return pipe communicates with the outlet chamber at an elevation which is higher than the elevation of the outlet valve, and the inlet opening of the outlet pipe communicates with the outlet chamber at an elevation which is lower than the elevation of the outlet valve, whereby vapors within the outlet chamber are prevented from passing through the outlet pipe to the carburetor.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1979Date of Patent: October 20, 1981Assignee: Kyosan Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Mochizuki, Tokio Seki

Patent number: 4153394Abstract: A fuel pump comprises an outer casing, which is made by drawing a steel sheet, caulkedly fitted to a diecast lower body. The outer casing is constricted in three stages. The second stage contains a seal-receiving flange at the open-side end of a cup-shaped inlet chamber shell, so that the inlet chamber shell contacts the inside surface of the outer casing. Also, the inlet chamber shell is brazed to the inside of the top of the outer casing for the purpose of rust prevention. Ribs are projected on the top of the outer casing to decrease its vibration and noise.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1977Date of Patent: May 8, 1979Assignee: Kyosan Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takashi Nakada
