Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weighing machine installed in a gas station such as a gas station.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, when refueling an automobile at a fueling station, an operator removes a cap of a refueling port of a fuel tank of the car and then removes a refueling nozzle attached to a nozzle hook of a weighing machine. Insert it in the mouth, refuel,
After the refueling work is completed, the refueling nozzle is taken out from the refueling port, hangs on the nozzle, and finally the cap closes the refueling port.

[0003]

By the way, the worker puts the removed cap on the weighing machine or an appropriate place near the weighing machine, or puts it in his / her pocket. There was a risk of forgetting to close.

An object of the present invention is to provide a weighing machine which prevents forgetting to close the filler cap.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the filler cap receiving piece is provided on the upper portion of the nozzle hook body through the mounting portion.

It is preferable that a cap drop prevention edge is provided upright on the edge of the filler cap cap, and a gap is formed below the prevention edge to prevent rain and dust from accumulating.

Also, the filler cap cap is rotatably provided via a hinge and is urged upward by a spring so that the receiver is locked at an upper tilt position and a lower tilt position due to the weight of the filler cap. It is preferable to configure

[0008]

In the weighing machine configured as described above, when refueling, the refueling nozzle is removed and refueling is performed to place the refueling port cap on the refueling port cap receiving piece. Therefore, when the refueling is finished and the refueling nozzle is hung on the nozzle hanging body, the refueling port cap located immediately beside the nozzle hanging body is unavoidably noticed, so that forgetting to close the refueling port cap is reliably prevented.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2, an oil supply nozzle mounted on a hose 7 connected to a flow meter (not shown) of the weighing machine 1 is attached to a nozzle hooking body 4 provided on an upper side panel 2 of the weighing machine 1. It is multiplied by 8. As shown in FIG. 5, which is another embodiment, the nozzle hook main body 4 is substantially three-dimensional so as to accommodate the main body 8a and the cylinder tip portion 8b of the oil supply nozzle 8.
It is formed in a square shape and is attached to the lower surface of the main body housing 3 with bolts 5 and nuts 6.

Outside the upper part of the nozzle hook body 4,
The filler cap cap, generally designated by reference numeral 10, is the mounting portion 1.
The bolts 5 and nuts 6 are tightened together via 1 and are horizontally attached. This filler cap receiving piece 10
As shown in FIG. 4, the plane is formed in a horizontally long, substantially rectangular shape. A U-shaped cap drop prevention edge 12 with the side panel 2 side opened is provided upright on the outer edge of the receiving piece 10, and the lower half of the side of the prevention edge 12 facing the side panel 2 is provided. Has a gap 13 formed therein.

Next, the operation will be described. At the time of refueling, the refueling nozzle 8 is removed from the nozzle hook body 4, the refueling port cap 9 is removed to start refueling, and the refueling port cap 9 is placed on the refueling port cap receiving piece 10. Then, after the refueling is finished, the refueling nozzle 8 is hung on the nozzle hanging body 4, and at this time, the refueling port cap 9 placed on the refueling port cap receiving piece 10 in the immediate vicinity of the nozzle hanging body 4 is inevitably noticed. Therefore, forgetting to close the filler cap 9 is reliably prevented. Further, the cap drop prevention edge 12 prevents the placed fuel filler cap 9 from sliding down. Further, the gap 13 prevents rain and dust from accumulating on the receiving piece 10.

3 and 4 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which a filler cap cap 20 having a cap drop prevention edge 12 similar to the above embodiment is attached to a mounting portion 11 via a hinge 21. Is rotatably mounted on the nozzle hook body 4 and is biased upward by a spring 22 to form an inclined portion 2 formed on the upper edge of the nozzle hook body 4.
3, the receiving piece 20 is locked in a normal state in which it is slightly tilted upward, and when the filler cap 9 is placed by the stoppers 24, 24 fixed to the mounting portion 11, the receiving piece tilts downward due to the weight of the cap 9. This is an example in which 20 is locked at the downward tilt position 20a. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, at the downwardly inclined position 20a of the receiving piece 20 on which the filler cap 9 is placed,
It becomes difficult to hook the fueling nozzle 8 on the nozzle hooking body 4. Therefore, forgetting to close the filler cap 9 can be prevented more reliably. Further, when the fuel filler cap 9 is removed, the receiving piece 20 is returned to the upper tilted position by the spring 22, and the fuel nozzle 8 is easily hooked. In the downward tilt position 20a,
Rain and dust accumulated on the receiving piece 20 are removed from the gap 13 to the outside.

[0014]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to reliably prevent forgetting to close the filler cap. In addition, in a gas station without a canopy, the receiving piece protects the nozzle from rain.
