Abstract: A wave eliminating plate 12 located within a tank shell 11 is provided with inflow ports 15A, 15B into which a fuel moving within the tank shell 11 flows and outflow ports 17A, 17B from which the fuel flowing from the inflow ports 15A, 15B flows in a different direction from an inflow direction. In addition, by inertia force due to the acceleration, deceleration, turning or the like of a vehicle, the fuel moving within the tank shell 11 is caused to change the flow direction while it flows from the inflow ports 15A, 15B of the wave eliminating plate 12 and flows out of the outflow ports 17A, 17B so that the fuel flowing out of the outflow ports 17A, 17B generates a vortex.

Abstract: A vehicular canister attachment structure which dispenses with a drain tube, is readily installed, and is low in cost. A canister attached to a bottom or side surface of a floor frame and a cross-member forming part of a vehicle body has an air communication part, which is inserted into the floor frame.

Abstract: A connector including a locking mechanism to prevent a charge coupling from being broken when charging. A supply connector connected to a power source and a vehicle battery connector installed in an electric vehicle has a handle grip and a connector body attached to a distal end of the handle grip. The handle grip is provided in its interior with a lock mechanism which maintains and releases the coupling of the supply connector to the vehicle inlet and with a control which controls the lock mechanism. The control includes a detector for detecting a complete coupling of the supply connector to the vehicle connector. The control actuates the lock mechanism only when the detector detects the complete coupling and commencement of charging and releases the lock mechanism only when charging is stopped.
