  • Patent number: 11577602
    Abstract: A tank device for a motor vehicle includes a tank container defined by a tank wall having at least one stop region, and at least one lever sensor arranged in the interior of the tank container. The at least one stop region is an end stop for the lever sensor to prevent adhesion of the lever sensor to the tank wall.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11577882
    Abstract: A tank that includes a tank wall composed of a plastic material, and at least one reinforcing profile member configured to minimize deformation of the plastic tank. The at least one reinforcing profile member is configured for arrangement on an outer side of the tank wall to be engaged by the tank wall and establish a positive material bond connection therewith. The at least one reinforcing profile member has a retaining geometry region with a plurality of openings through and/or into which material of the tank wall extends and onto a rear side of the reinforcing profile member facing away from the tank wall to thereby establish the positive material bond connection between the tank wall and the at least one reinforcing profile member at the retaining geometry region.

  • Publication number: 20200180427
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a plastic tank for a motor vehicle. The process includes inserting at least one stiffening profile into a shell mould having walls. The at least one stiffening profile is configured to minimise undesirable deformation of the plastic tank. The process also includes applying a negative pressure to simultaneously maintain a position of each stiffening profile in the shell mould, form a tank wall by facilitating flow of plastic material onto the walls of the shell mould, and form a form-fitting connection between the tank wall and each stiffening profile by facilitating flow of the plastic material around the stiffening profile.
