Plug System for a Fuel Tank Filler Pipe

Abstract

Plug system built into the top of a fuel tank filler pipe, comprising a plug with a locking device, a fuel flap able to occupy a position allowing access to the pipe and a position preventing access to the pipe, and a mechanical connection system able to transmit a movement from the flap to the locking device in such a way as to lock or unlock the plug. The mechanical connection system comprises components able to interact by part of a movement of one component being transmitted to another, adjacent component in such a way that only part of the movement of the flap can be transmitted to the locking device in order to lock or unlock the plug.
