Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of tanks that are not made of metal but of a flexible material, such as a polymer material, such as is typically the case with reductant tanks for combustion engines, there is a tendency for the clamping force of the strips to change over time. risk of insufficient progress, resulting in loss of preload force in the threaded connection
In the case of racks with straps, it can also be difficult to fit and remove the tank, especially in areas with limited side space

Embodiment Construction

[0021] The stand according to the invention has a pair of rail members 10 and 30 each having jaws 24 and 44 respectively for supporting and clamping a tank 80 therebetween. Although the term "cradle" generally refers only to the lower jaw 44 in this context, it is used here non-exclusively for the entire arrangement.

[0022] as attached figure 1 As most clearly shown in , the rail elements 10 , 30 indicated in the embodiment are made of steel sheet, having complementary substantially U-shaped cross-sectional profiles, so that the lower element 30 is slidably accommodated in the upper element 10 . More particularly, upper rail member 10 has a bottom flange 14, a pair of mutually facing side flanges 16 perpendicular to the bottom flange, and a pair of outer flanges 18 parallel to the bottom flange. The lower rail member 30 similarly has a bottom flange 34, a pair of side flanges 36 facing each other perpendicular to the bottom flange, and a pair of outer flanges 38 parallel to...

Abstract

A bracket for a vehicle tank comprises a pair of rail elements (10, 30) which each have a jaw (24, 44) and are movable along one another towards at least one stop (52). A threaded connection (60) acts between crosspieces (50) of the respective elements to clamp the tank (80) between the jaws when tightened against the stop (52).

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a bracket for a vehicle tank. The present application also relates to a vehicle equipped with a stand. Background technique [0002] Known brackets of this type are usually provided with a strap extending around the tank and having a threaded connection by means of which the strap is fastened relative to the vehicle frame. However, in the case of tanks that are not made of metal but of a flexible material, such as a polymer material, such as is typically the case with reductant tanks for combustion engines, there is a tendency for the clamping force of the strips to change over time. risk of insufficient progress, with the result that the preload force in the threaded connection is lost. In the case of racks with straps, it can also be difficult to fit and remove the tank, especially in areas with limited side space. Contents of the invention [0003] It is therefore an object of the present invention to propose ...
