  • Patent number: 11772483
    Abstract: A fuel tank has a built-in component with a head portion, a neck portion, and a shoulder portion, and has the built-in component anchored to a tank body with a parison wrapped around the neck portion during molding. The fuel tank includes a deformation prevention structure configured to prevent a wrapping parison portion wrapped around the neck portion from being deformed due to pressure acting on the tank body. The deformation prevention structure is configured to include one of a stepped portion provided in the shoulder portion, a convex portion, and a recess.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9579972
    Abstract: To provide a structure for mounting a fuel tank on a vehicle body that can prevent harmful deformation of the fuel tank that would impair the function of the fuel tank in either case where the pressure in the fuel tank changes to a positive pressure or to a negative pressure, the structure for mounting a fuel tank on a vehicle body includes: a band lower (10L) secured to the vehicle body, extending along at least a lower wall (19L) of the fuel tank (1) and holding the fuel tank (1); a lower wall connecting means (40) that connects at least one part of the lower wall (19L) of the fuel tank (1) to the band lower (10L); a holding member (50) secured to the vehicle body and holding the fuel tank (1); and an upper wall connecting means (40) that connects at least one part of the upper wall (19U) of the fuel tank (1) to the holding member.
