Publication number: 20180048001Abstract: A hydrogen storage container has an inner side resin layer that comes into contact with hydrogen gas that is introduced into the container, a barrier layer which is disposed on the outside of the inner side resin layer and which prevents permeation of hydrogen gas, and an outer side resin layer comprising a resin. Among these layers, the inner side resin layer comprises a polyethylene-based resin, and if the thickness of the barrier layer is denoted by Y and the thickness of the inner side resin layer is denoted by X, the thickness X satisfies formula (1). Moreover, D in formula (1) is the diffusion coefficient of the polyethylene-based resin, as determined by means of a differential pressure method at 50° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2016Publication date: February 15, 2018Inventors: Yuka YANAGISAWA, Toshihiko KANEZAKI, Kotaro TANAKA, Tadahisa NAKAMURA

Patent number: 7455326Abstract: A joint part includes a connection part weldable on the tank and a tube part including an inner circumferential face. An inner tube is fitted inside and in contact with the inner circumferential face. The tube and the inner tube include materials having different swelling rates when exposed to the fuel to be stored in the tank. An end of the tube, and an end of the inner tube corresponding in an axial direction with the end of tube, include slopes therearound in contact with each other. The slopes are inclined from the axial direction. When the tube and the inner tube swell due to being wet with the fuel, the slopes have a relative displacement in the axial direction and in a radial direction of the tube and the inner tube, with contact therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2006Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignees: Yachiyo Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisya, Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tohru Matsuzaki, Shinya Murabayashi, Naomasa Kaneko, Tadahisa Nakamura

Patent number: 6851458Abstract: An on board refueling vapor recovery system includes a first fuel vapor passage for connecting a fuel tank with a canister, a second fuel vapor passage for connecting an inlet portion of a fuel filler pipe with the fuel vapor passage (a tank main body) and a check valve in the second fuel vapor passage. The check valve is integrated with a first quick connector of a resin hose (a resin tube) which constitutes the second fuel vapor passage. Therefore, the number of man hours required for assembling the on board refueling vapor recovery system can be reduced. In addition, the space required for installing any of the on board refueling vapor recovery system can also be reduced. Furthermore, the amount of released fuel evaporative emissions or fuel evaporative emissions can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeaki Nakajima, Tadahisa Nakamura, Takeshi Honda, Kiyofumi Shida, Hiroto Inoue
