  • Patent number: 10407295
    Abstract: An object is to suppress excessive insertion of a fueling nozzle during fueling. A nozzle guide configured to form a nozzle guide path that guides a fueling nozzle is placed inside of a filler neck main body configured to include a fuel passage that introduces a fuel supplied from the fueling nozzle toward a fuel tank. This nozzle guide comprises a first projection for nozzle restriction provided on a nozzle guide end opening portion at an end of the nozzle guide path along a nozzle guide direction and protruded from an end opening circumferential wall of the nozzle guide end opening portion to narrow at least part of a diameter of the nozzle guide path; and a second projection for nozzle restriction provided on a downstream side of the first projection along the nozzle guide direction and protruded from the end opening circumferential wall to narrow at least part of the diameter of the nozzle guide path.

  • Patent number: 6767146
    Abstract: In a holding frame of the aperture mechanism is formed a holding portion to which is to be fitted a drive mechanism for opening and closing aperture blades. The holding portion can be fitted with either an electrical drive mechanism, having an iris meter, for electrically opening and closing aperture blades and or a manual drive mechanism for supporting rotatably an iris ring to manually open and close the aperture blades. Thus, an aperture mechanism whose manufacturing cost can be substantially reduced by enabling either or both of an electrical drive mechanism for electrically driving aperture blades and a manual drive mechanism for manually driving them to be fitted to a common holding frame of the aperture mechanism is to be provided.
