Publication number: 20180274504Abstract: A holder unit is movably provided in a tank body in such a manner that one end of the holder unit is movably connected to a rotation supporting portion formed on a bottom wall of the tank body. A manual lever is connected to the other end of the holder unit. When the manual lever is pulled up, the holder unit is rotated around the rotation supporting portion, so that the other end is located in an entrance space formed at a position adjacent to a tank opening. A pump module is inserted into the tank body through the tank opening and attached to the holder unit. Then, the holder unit is pushed down by the manual lever to a pump installation position, in which the other end of the holder unit is located in an installation space formed on the bottom wall. The holder unit is engaged with a holding portion formed in the tank body, so that the holder unit and the pump module are stably held at the pump installation position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2018Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventor: Norihiro HAYASHI

Publication number: 20160102683Abstract: A common width direction, along which a passage width of a communication passage section and a passage width of a pressurizing passage are defined, is perpendicular to an extending direction of a flow restricting passage section. A first passage wall surface and a second passage wall surface, which define the communication passage section therebetween, are opposed to each other in the common width direction. The flow restricting passage section opens in the first passage wall surface. The second passage wall surface is concavely curved relative to the first passage wall surface toward the flow restricting passage section, so that the passage width of the communication passage section is progressively reduced toward the flow restricting passage section within a predetermined range that is equal to or smaller than the passage width of the pressurizing passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2015Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventors: Norihiro HAYASHI, Kiyomori KOBAYASHI

Patent number: 8820298Abstract: A vehicle fuel system may employ a fuel pump module with a reservoir within a fuel tank. The system may also employ a fuel injection common rail, a fuel supply line leading from the fuel pump module reservoir to the fuel injection common rail, and a fuel return line leading from the fuel injection common rail through a fuel pump module flange. Additionally, the system may employ a first return fuel check valve to release fuel only into a reservoir jet pump and/or a transfer jet pump, while a second return fuel check valve may release fuel only directly into the fuel pump module reservoir. An electric fuel pump within the reservoir may have a fuel pump check valve and supply fuel only to the reservoir jet pump and/or the transfer jet pump, and not to an engine, when activated by a pressure sensor in the fuel return line.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2009Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignees: DENSO International America, Inc., Denso CorporationInventors: William E.

Patent number: 8689827Abstract: A support shaft connects between a flange and a pump unit. An intermediate member, which connects between the support shaft and pump unit, enables a relative positional change between the support shaft and the pump unit in an axial direction of the support shaft. The intermediate member limits a relative positional change between the support shaft and the pump unit in a circumferential direction of the support shaft. A resilient member is received in the support shaft and exerts a restoring force in an axial direction of the support shaft to urge the pump unit, which is movable relative to the support shaft in the axial direction, toward a bottom portion of the fuel tank.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignees: Denso Corporation, Kyosan Denki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuro Okazono, Shinobu Oikawa, Kiyomori Kobayashi, Norihiro Hayashi, Shinji Noda, Hiroshi Morishita, Kazuki Matsubara, Kouji Maruyama, Masato Inoue, Hironobu Oki

Patent number: 8453622Abstract: A fuel supply system includes a plurality of fuel pumps, and one suction filter. The suction filter includes connection portions that are connected to pump inlets of the fuel pumps, and an interval adjusting member that adjusts the interval between the connection portions in accordance with the interval between the fuel pumps. Thus, it is possible to fit the suction filter to the fuel pumps without changing the interval between the fuel pumps. Because the interval between pump outlets is not changed, it is possible to minimize the problems that are likely to occur when the suction filter is fitted to the fuel pumps.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Kyosan Denki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shin Iwaoka, Norihiro Hayashi, Masakazu Suzuki
