  • Patent number: 10507723
    Abstract: An opening-closing apparatus for a fuel tank comprises a fuel passage-forming portion configured to form a fuel passage that is arranged to introduce a supplied liquid fuel to the fuel tank; an insertion-side opening-closing mechanism configured to open and close the fuel passage; a tank-side opening-closing mechanism located on a fuel tank side of the insertion-side opening-closing mechanism and configured to open and close the fuel passage; a liquid discharge path configured to allow for communication of a portion of the fuel passage between the insertion-side opening-closing mechanism and the tank-side opening-closing mechanism to the outside of the opening-closing apparatus; and an open-close valve configured to open and close the liquid discharge path and to be opened toward the outside. This configuration of the opening-closing apparatus for the fuel tank reduces dust and the like invaded from the outside into the fuel passage which a liquid fuel passes through.

  • Patent number: 10144279
    Abstract: There is provided a closing device for a filler port. This closing device for the filler port comprises a fuel passage forming portion configured to include a first engagement element; a first open-close mechanism configured to include a first cover that is opened toward an upstream side; and a second open-close mechanism configured to open and close a second opening and include a second cover that is opened toward the upstream side. The first open-close mechanism further comprises a disengagement portion located on the upstream side of a second engagement element when the second engagement element is engaged with the first engagement element, and configured to disengage the second engagement element from the first engagement element when receiving a force in a closing direction from the second cover.
