Patent number: 9079490Abstract: Method for fastening an accessory to a wall of a plastic fuel tank, this fastening taking place by snap-riveting using a tool at the same time as the tank is manufactured by molding, the accessory being, for this purpose, provided at at least one of its fastening points with an orifice through which the snap-riveting is carried out. According to the invention, a concave relief at least partially surrounds this orifice, the relief having a size and shape suitable for being able to cooperate with an excrescence of the tool during the snap-riveting.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2008Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: INERGY AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS RESEARCH (Societe Anonyme)Inventors: Hervé Lemoine, Frédéric Jannot
