  • Patent number: 11701964
    Abstract: A fuel tank includes a built-in component having a head portion, a neck portion, and a shoulder portion, the built-in component being anchored to a tank body by blowing air from outside a parison to cause the parison wrap around the neck portion during molding of the tank body. A slit extending in one direction only is formed on a surface of the shoulder portion as an air vent path.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2023
    Assignee: YACHIYO INDUSTRY CO., LTD.

  • Patent number: 10569644
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mounting structure for an integrated component to be mounted by snap-fitting on a fuel tank so that it is possible to suppress looseness. This mounting structure for an integrated component of a fuel tank includes: a weld clip which has a tip part having an engaging portion and a base end part to be welded to an inner surface of the fuel tank; an engagement base which is provided to the integrated component to be integrated into the fuel tank, and has a snap-fitting arm to be engaged with the engaging portion by elastic restoring force; and a lock member which is attached to the engagement base so as to be capable of switching from a temporary holding position to a lock position, the temporary holding position allowing an elastic deformation of the snap-fitting arm in a direction to release the engagement with the engaging portion, the lock position preventing the elastic deformation.
