Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2000515453
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for vehicle fuel tanks, which includes a tank (1) having a rounded rectangular cross section with rounded corners (5-8) and an upper limiting plane (15) which substantially coincides with the upper side (9) of the tank. A lower limiting plane (16) coincides substantially with the bottom side (10) of the tank. Carrying brackets (2) cooperate with a flexible strapping unit (3) for attaching the tank to the vehicle. The carrying brackets (2) are shaped as a substantially vertical cradle, having a web (21) and a support surface (30) facing the inner side (12) of the tank and, at the top, merging into an upper support protrusion (22) and, at the bottom, merging into a lower, laterally pointing support protrusion (23). Both support protrusions have a support surface (31, 32) arranged to bear on respective rounded corner (7, 8) of that tank. The cradle extends vertically so that the upper support protrusion (22) is substantially under the upper limiting plane (15) and the lower support protrusion (11) is substantially above the lower limiting plane (16).
