Abstract
Provided is a reservoir in which an inlet for injecting a liquid from the outside into a reservoir chamber in which the liquid is stored is provided at one side of a vehicle, a communication path that extends from the inlet toward the other side of the vehicle is provided, and a communication opening that is capable of making communication between the communication path and the reservoir chamber is formed. A surface part that gets higher from one side of the vehicle toward the communication opening of the other side of the vehicle in a state in which the reservoir chamber is mounted in the vehicle is formed at an upper portion of the reservoir chamber.
Claims8
A reservoir configured to be assembled to a vehicle, the reservoir comprising:
- an inlet provided at one side of the vehicle to inject a liquid from an outside into a reservoir chamber in which the liquid is stored;
- a communication path provided to extend from the inlet toward another side of the vehicle;
- and
- a communication opening capable of making communication between the communication path and the reservoir chamber,
- wherein a surface part is formed at an upper portion of the reservoir chamber, wherein the surface part is configured to get higher with respect to a horizontal plane from the one side of the vehicle toward the communication opening of the another side of the vehicle in a state in which the reservoir chamber is mounted in the vehicle, and
- wherein a roof part is formed at the upper portion of the reservoir chamber, and the surface part is formed at a position recessed downward relative to the roof part.
