Problems solved by technology

[0003] Admittedly, this arrangement is useful in terms of possible lightening of the container floor and the ground clearance of a vehicle equipped in this way, however a groove extending in the floor of the fluid container reduces its internal volume
[0004] Especially when the fluid container comprises one or more pump modules for delivering fluid into the vehicle components or consumers, it is not desirable to have recesses in the container floor, since these constitute protrusions inside the fluid container objects, and it is not possible to install transfer modules or transfer pumps in these areas

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The fluid container 1 shown in the figures is formed as a fuel tank made of thermoplastic material for a motor vehicle. This is an extrusion blow molded plastic container whose container wall consists of a multilayer extrusion (coextrusion) of HDPE based thermoplastic material with a hydrocarbon barrier layer.

[0032] A fluid container 1 formed as a fuel tank is attached to a body 4 of a motor vehicle by means of one or more metal clamping straps 3 .

[0033] The figures show only one clamping strip 3 , but the invention is understood in such a way that the number of clamping strips 3 is not critical for the invention.

[0034] The clamping strip 3 is a metal strip formed approximately in a U-shaped cross-section and adapted to the contour of the fluid container 1 , said strip being essentially stable and its legs 5 formed spring-elastic.

[0035] The profile of the clamping strip 3 is variable and substantially adapted to the profile of the fluid container 1 . Clamp...

Abstract

The invention relates to a fluid container (1), in particular a fuel tank, for a motor vehicle. The fluid container (1) comprises at least one clamping strip (3) surrounding the fluid container to hold the fluid container at a predetermined fixing point on the motor vehicle body (4). The fluid container (1) according to the invention is characterized in that the clamping strip (3) is pre-mounted on the fluid container (1) in a constrained manner without additional fixing means.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fluid container for a motor vehicle, in particular a fuel tank, which has at least one clamping band which at least partially surrounds the fluid container to hold the fluid container in a predefined position on the body of the motor vehicle. fixed point. Background technique [0002] Such a fluid container is known, for example, from European patent application EP0373143A1. The fluid container is attached to the underside of the motor vehicle by means of two clamping straps. To prevent sagging or bulging of the container floor without substantial loss of volume and with only a slight amount of material and fitting complexity, the container floor is provided with grooves open at the bottom and extending between the clamping bands. Insert the profile holder resting on the clamping strap into the groove. The profile holder can be pressed into the groove, with a slight elastic deformation of the groove sides, so that the prof...
