  • Patent number: 7455326
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20070048471
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention is any of a vehicle fuel tank and its member molded with a laminated body of one or more kinds of resins, the laminated body comprising a barrier layer composed of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, wherein an ethylene containment amount is 20 to 25 mol %; and an outer layer and inner layer that are molded with a thermoplastic resin other than the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and provided at both faces of the barrier layer, wherein the inner layer is located at a side contacting fuel or evaporated fuel, and a thickness of the barrier layer is 2.0 to 5.0% of a total sum of the inner layer, the outer layer, and the barrier layer.

  • Publication number: 20060185760
    Abstract: 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 in the inner circumferential face and in contact with the inner circumferential face. The tube and the inner tube include materials having different swelling rates against a fuel to be stored in the tank. An end of the tube and a corresponding end of the inner tube in an axial direction of the tube and the inner 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 wet with the fuel, the slopes have relative displacement in the axial direction and a radial direction of the tube and the inner tube with contact therebetween.
