Patent number: 8695203Abstract: Process for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank (FT) equipped with an internal accessory, by molding a parison using a mold comprising two cavities and a core, said process comprising the following steps: the parison is introduced into the mold cavities; the core is introduced inside the parison, the core having first been fitted with the accessory; the mold is closed so that the cavities come into leaktight contact with the core; the parison is pressed against the cavities by blowing through the core and/or applying a vacuum behind the cavities; the accessory is fastened to the parison by snap riveting using a device attached to the core; the mold is opened to withdraw the core; and the final molding of the parison is carried out by blow molding and/or thermoforming.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2009Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Inergy Automotive Systems Research (Societe Anonyme)Inventors: Frederic Jannot, Bjorn Criel, Barbara Mabed, Pierre-Francois Tardy, Ralph Pohlmann

Patent number: 8122604Abstract: Method for fastening an accessory (2) at at least two points of a wall of a plastic fuel tank, this fastening taking place during the actual manufacture of the tank by molding. According to this method, the accessory (2) is provided, at least at one of its fastening points, with a fastening part (1, 1?) in such a way that the accessory (2) is fastened to the wall of the tank and can move relative to the corresponding fastening point on the wall of the tank (3).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2007Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Inergy Automotive Systems Research (S.A.)Inventors: Frederic Jannot, Bjorn Criel, Hugues Masse, Barbara Mabed, Herve Lemoine

Patent number: 7780901Abstract: Method for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank by moulding a parison in a mould, in which method the parison is locally deformed during moulding of the parison in order to obtain an impermeable hollow built-in connector provided with a screw thread, and to do so by means of a concave counter-form and a convex form that can penetrate the counter-form, these two pieces being secured, one to the mould and the other to a core located inside the mould, or vice versa, and at least one of these pieces being provided with a screw thread, the moulding of the connector taking place by the convex form penetrating the concave counter-form.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Inergy Automotive Systems Research (S.A.)Inventors: Hugues Masse, Frederic Jannot, Pierre-Francois Tardy, Bjorn Criel, Barbara Mabed, Philippe Martin

Publication number: 20090250161Abstract: A method for connecting a tubular part made of plastic to a neck of a fuel tank also made of plastic, by welding using a resistive element heated by a resistive effect. The shape and dimensions of the two parts to be connected are chosen such that one surface of each part is up against a corresponding surface of the other part. The resistive element is incorporated into one of the two surfaces, the two surfaces are brought into contact, and an electric current is passed through the resistive element at an intensity to allow the resistive element to be heated to a temperature high enough to melt the plastic of the two surfaces to weld them together. The tubular part and neck each include a barrier layer and are welded such that the two contact surfaces are coaxial and the barrier layers in the weld region are parallel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2005Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: INERGY AUTO.
