Abstract
In a cap device, a long, flexible coupling member is coupled at one end to a cap for opening and closing an inlet, and it is slidably mounted at the other end to a guide member located near the inlet. A rotary ring is rotatably mounted around the cap, and the coupling member is coupled to a part of the rotary ring at one end thereof. Slanted blocks for removing foreign materials are provided on a portion of the rotary ring which slides with respect to the circumferential outer surface of the cap. A slide support member formed another end of the coupling member is guided by a guide member disposed on the back side of the oil filler lid. The guide member guides the slide support member in such a direction that the slide support member slides apart from a hinge.
Claims18
A cap device comprising:
- a cap for opening and closing an inlet;
- a flexible coupling member for coupling to said cap at one end thereof;
- a rotary ring mounted around the circumferential outer surface of said cap so as to relatively rotate to said cap and attached to said one end of said coupling member;
- and
- wherein protrusions are provided in at least a lower surface side of a sliding portion where said rotary ring and the circumferential outer surface of said cap slide with each other.
A cap device comprising:
- a cap for opening and closing an inlet;
- a flexible coupling member for coupling to said cap at one end thereof;
- a rotary ring mounted around the circumferential outer surface of said cap so as to relatively rotate to said cap and attached to said one end of said coupling member;
- and
- wherein sharpened protrusions for removing foreign materials are provided on a sliding portion where said rotary ring and the circumferential outer surface of said cap relatively slide with each other.
A cap device comprising:
- an inlet located in a recess of a main body;
- a cap for opening and closing said inlet;
- a lid mounted on said main body through a hinge so as to open and close an opening of said recess;
- a coupling member coupled to said cap at first end thereof;
- a slide support member provided at second end of said coupling member;
- and
- a guide member provided on the back side of said lid, for receiving and guiding said slide support member in such a direction that said slide support member slides apart from said hinge.
A cap device comprising:
- an inlet located in a recess of a main body;
- a cap for opening and closing said inlet;
- a lid mounted on said main body through a hinge so as to open and close an opening of said recess;
- a coupling member coupled to a first slide support member at first end thereof and to a second slide support member at second end thereof;
- a first guide member formed on the back side of said lid for guiding said first slide support member in such a direction that said first slide support member slides apart from said hinge;
- and
- a second guide member formed on said cap for slidably guiding said second slide support member.
