  • Patent number: 11919384
    Abstract: A resin filler tube includes: a tubular body; a flange having a diameter greater than an outer diameter of the tubular body, a thickness greater than a thickness of the tubular body, and a predetermined width in an axial direction, and having a first axial end face forming a weld surface to be welded to an outer circumferential edge of an opening hole of a fuel tank; and a base-end-side reverse tapered portion which connects between an end of the tubular body on the fuel tank side and an end of an outer circumferential surface of the flange on a side opposite to the fuel tank side, and which is reversely tapered so as to increase a diameter toward the flange. The base-end-side reverse tapered portion has an inner diameter that is not less than an inner diameter of the tubular body over an entire range in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20190240890
    Abstract: A process of producing a hollow resin-molded article includes: arranging covers on inner walls of mold halves, the covers having shapes corresponding to the inner walls; introducing a pair of sheets of thermoplastic resin each facing the cover arranged on the inner wall of a corresponding mold half; blowing air into a space between the sheets to cause the sheets to respectively contact the covers arranged on the inner walls, and thereby fusion-welding the sheets to the covers; and closing the mold halves; and cooling down the covers and the sheets in a state where the mold halves are closed. In the step of arranging, there are uncovered portions of the inner walls that are not covered by the cover. In the step of closing, there are mold contact portions of the sheets that respectively contact the uncovered portions directly and the mold contact portions are fusion-welded to each other in an overlapping manner.
