Embodiment Construction

[0027] Figures 1 to 3 The tank cover module 1 shown in is constructed as a two-component figure 2 The upper vehicle outer side has the pot part 2 and the lower part, ie in the installed state pointing towards the vehicle inner side, has the floor section 3 . The transition zone between the bottom section 3 and the pot part 2 can be image 3 It is clearly seen in the cross-section of the . In this transition region, the pot part 2 is injection-molded on the inside and the outside by the base section 3 .

[0028] Both the can part 2 and the bottom section or bottom guard 3 can be produced by injection molding. The pot part 2 has a relatively hard and inelastic plastic material, such as polypropylene, whereas the bottom section 3 is provided with a relatively soft and elastically deformable plastic material, preferably EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber). The outer cup part 2 and the base section 3 together form the tank body 1 of the fuel tank cover module. In addition...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fuel filler door module for installing in a motor vehicle having a trough body (1) comprising a pass-through opening (4) in the area of an elastically deformable floor segment (3) for receiving a fuel filler neck, wherein the floor segment (3) comprises a surface structure (7) provided adjacent to the pass-through opening (4) on a side facing the fuel filler neck for abating the adhesion and / or sliding friction properties.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel tank flap module for installation in a motor vehicle, with a tank having a through-opening for accommodating a fuel filler connector in the region of an elastically deformable base section. Background technique [0002] Fuel flap modules for installation in motor vehicles are sufficiently known from the prior art. The fuel tank cover module described, for example, in DE 10 2005 051 140 A1 has a pot-shaped trough body which essentially consists of a hard outer pot part which can be produced by injection moulding, and an elastic floor covering formed on the pot part. [0003] Through-openings are also provided in the underbody panel for the fuel filler connections of the fuel tank, which can be closed by the fuel tank cap. After installation, the through-opening bears sealingly against the fuel filler pipe connection. The outer can part and the floor covering together form the tank channel here. [0004] This known tank...
