Structure for mounting motor pump on automotive window washer tank

Abstract

There is provided a washer tank which can reliably have installed thereon a plurality of motor pumps and yet can be blow-formed without undercuts. The tank mounting portion of the tank body is formed so as to extend from the upper side to the lower side of the tank body. The tank mounting portion has a concave groove portion having a groove width for receiving the motor pumps in parallel and a connecting bridge portion which connects both edges of the opening of the concave groove portion. The bridge portion has a convex portion for preventing each motor pump from shifting position and contacting the adjacent motor pump. The convex portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the connecting bridge portion. The pump mounting portion, as defined by the groove and bridge portions, is an enclosed substantially ring shape that surrounds the periphery of the motor pumps installed in parallel in the washer tank. The parting plane of the split pattern is positioned so as to pass transversely through the concave groove portion and substantially parallel to the connecting bridge portion.
