Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/114484
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a gas-supplying unit structure for a fuel tank such that even a gas-supply nozzle with a large-diameter portion can easily be inserted into a gas-supply opening and the operation of introduction of the gas-supply nozzle into the gas-supply opening is effectively realized. One end of a guide plate (44) is supported at a rotation shaft (42) that is provided on a flapper valve (20) so that the end can rotate. The guide plate (44) is biased by a guide plate biasing spring into a shelter area that is sheltered from the area through which the gas-supply nozzle passes. When the flapper valve (20) is in an open position (HP), the entire guide plate (44) is positioned within the shelter area. When the flapper valve (20) is in a closed position (TP), it is possible to position the guide plate (44) near the gas-supply opening (26).
