Patent number: 10737570Abstract: When a fuel tank inclines, a valve body device for the fuel tank restricts the flow of fuel to the exterior of the fuel tank, thereby preventing environmental pollution and improving fuel consumption. A rise/fall member and a valve body are lowered by an urge force less than a combined weight of the valve body and the rise/fall member, thereby creating an opening in a valve portion. A coil spring expands and the valve body contacts convex portions on a first inner surface of a cylinder main body. After a pressure reduction at a communication port of a resistance member, the fuel flows from a small-diameter space of a blow-up member, so that the flowing fuel pushes up the valve body and the rise/fall member closes the valve portion together with the urge force of the coil spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Inventors: Masao Iwami, Masashi Iwami

Patent number: 10723221Abstract: A filler cap for a fuel tank is disclosed and is configured to prevent environmental pollution and improve fuel consumption without discharging fuel or harmful gas to an exterior of the fuel tank. A rise/fall member and a valve body are lowered by an urge force that is less than a total weight of the valve body and the rise/fall member, thereby opening a valve portion. When the fuel tank inclines, a coil spring expands and the valve body contacts with convex portions on an inner surface of a cylinder main body. After a pressure reduces at a communication port of a resistance member, the fuel flows from a small diameter space of a blow-up member. The flowing fuel pushes up the valve body and the rise/fall member thereby closing the valve portion together with the urge force of the coil spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Inventors: Masao Iwami, Masashi Iwami

Patent number: 10377230Abstract: A filler cap for a fuel tank is disclosed that can prevent environmental pollution and also improve fuel consumption without discharging fuel or harmful gas evaporated therefrom to an exterior of the fuel tank, until a pressure in the fuel tank reaches a predetermined value. In summary, immediately after attaching the filler cap to a fill opening, pressures are balanced between an interior and an exterior of the fuel tank. A spring raises a valve body and the rise/fall member, so that a lateral outer circumference of the valve body point contacts with plural convex portions of a second side wall, thereby closing the valve portion. In such a state, coming and going of a fluid between a first space and an opening is not allowed. When a pressure in the fuel tank reaches 5 kPa, the fluid rise a first air passage formed in spaces between respective convex portions on the second side wall, passing the valve portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Inventors: Masao Iwami, Masashi Iwami
