Definitions

  • This invention concerns a container that is suitable for pouring an additive such as a fuel system additive into a vehicle's fuel tank
  • Fuel system additives are available to consumers to allow them to improve the performance of their vehicles or to maintain a vehicle's performance on a regular basis
  • Fuel system additives include, for example, carburettor sprays, diesel fuel additives, fuel system cleaners, gas treatments, octane boosters, fuel injection cleaners, carburettor cleaners, combined fuel injection and carburettor cleaners, and dry gas and winter fuel products
  • the fuel system additive enters a vehicle's fuel system by being poured into a vehicle's fuel tank by a consumer
  • a user may also pry open the flap of a fuel tank using a funnel having a long neck After prying open the flap with the funnel, the fuel system additive is poured into the funnel After using the funnel, it needs to be cleaned by the user
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a container for a fuel system additive that overcomes the problems identified above with current containers
  • a container for a fuel system additive comprising a sealed first part for storing the fuel system additive and a second part that is capable of opening a flap in a vehicle's fuel tank, the two parts being capable of relative movement which unseals the first part so that the fuel system additive can leave the first part, and travel through the second part into a vehicle's fuel tank
  • the first part and the second part are preferably capable of locking together so that they become one
  • the parts therefore preferably have interlocking members
  • the first part is preferably sealed using a lid
  • the lid is preferably a screw-lid
  • the screw-lid is preferably a nut
  • the nut may, for example, be square or hexagonal
  • the second part has a receiving member which is shaped to receive the lid and lock the two parts together
  • the lid or seal on the first part is preferably child-resistant
  • the second part is preferably funnel-shaped with a spout end and a wider end
  • a user of the container is able to unseal remotely the sealed first part containing the fuel system additive so that the fuel system additive is not spilt on to the user's hands or clothes
  • the second part of the container is shaped so that it is capable of opening the flap of a fuel tank A foreign object is therefore not required to open the flap of a fuel tank
  • the first and second parts are preferably formed from moulded plastics
  • the first part preferably holds 8, 12 or 16 ounces of liquid
  • the container may be designed and/or manufactured for single use only
  • Figure 1 shows first and second parts of the container
  • Figure 2 shows first and second parts of the container joined together
  • Figure 3 shows the inside of the second part, looking into the wider end of the second part
  • Figure 1 shows the first part 1 and the second part 2
  • the first part 1 holds the fuel system additive and has an open end which is sealed using a hexagonal nut 3
  • the hexagonal nut 3 is screwed on to the open end of the first part 1
  • the second part 2 is capable of opening the flap of a fuel tank
  • the second part 2 is funnel-shaped with a spout end 4 and a wider end 5
  • the wider end 5 has a receiving member 6 which is shaped to receive the hexagonal nut 3
  • the receiving member 6 is shown in Figure 3
  • the fuel system additive can be poured into a fuel tank
  • the container can be used by, for example, using one of the following two methods

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient destiné à contenir un additif de système d'alimentation. Ce récipient comprend une première partie hermétique (1) destinée au stockage de l'additif de système d'alimentation et une seconde partie (2) qui peut ouvrir un volet du réservoir de carburant d'un véhicule. Ces deux parties peuvent effectuer un mouvement relatif qui descelle la première partie (1) de sorte que l'additif de système d'alimentation puisse quitter la première partie (1) et pénétrer dans le réservoir de carburant d'un véhicule en passant par la seconde partie (2). Ce récipient permet de supprimer ou de réduire les risques de déversement de l'additif de système d'alimentation.
