  • Patent number: 6401751
    Abstract: The fuel supplying apparatus includes a reservoir to be inserted from an opening portion provided in an upper portion of a fuel tank, a tank cover for closing the opening portion of the fuel tank, and a coupling mechanism for coupling the reservoir and the fuel tank with each other so as to be mutually displaceable. The coupling mechanism includes a pivot for rotatably supporting the reservoir and a supporting member for supporting the pivot so that the pivot can be movable in an upper and lower direction of the fuel tank relative to the tank cover.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 7, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2002
    Assignee: Toyo Roki Seizo Kabushiki Kaisha

  • Patent number: 6308733
    Abstract: A fuel supplying apparatus includes a reservoir to be inserted from an opening portion provided in an upper portion of a fuel tank, a tank cover for closing the opening portion of the fuel tank, and a coupling mechanism for coupling the reservoir and the fuel tank with each other so as to be mutually displaceable. The coupling mechanism includes a retainer member rotatably connected to the reservoir through a predetermined pivot, and at least one coupling member for coupling the retainer member and the tank cover with each other so that the pivot can be moved in a vertical direction of the fuel tank relative to the tank cover.
