Troughing device for a motor vehicle, in particular for a motor car

Abstract

A trough device (2) for a body (3) of a motor vehicle, comprising a trough (7) bounded by a housing element (6) of the trough device (2) for receiving a nozzle through which fuel can be filled into a tank of the motor vehicle, and / or a plug element for transmitting electric current for charging an electric energy storage device of the motor vehicle, comprising a hinge arm (8), and a flap (9) held on the hinge arm (8), which is pivotably mounted relative to the housing element (6) via the hinge arm (8) between a closed position (S) covering and thereby closing at least a partial area of ​​the trough (7) and at least an open position (O) releasing the partial area, characterized in that: - a first locking element (10) is held on the housing element (6), by means of which, in conjunction with at least one through-opening (13) of a second locking element (11) provided on the hinge arm (8), the flap (9) and the hinge arm (8) are to be locked relative to the housing element (6) in the closed position (S); - a sealing element (23) formed from a second material that is softer than the first material is injection-molded onto the hinge arm (8) formed from a first material, which bears against an inner surface (24) of the flap (9) facing the second locking element (11), whereby the second locking element (11) and thus the passage opening (13) are sealed by means of the sealing element (23); and - the sealing element (23) has a sealing lip (29) radially inwards and on the inside (24) of the flap (9), and a second wall area (32) of the sealing element (23) is arranged between the sealing lip (29) and a first wall area (30) of the sealing element (23), wherein the second wall area (32) has a smaller wall thickness (W2) than the first wall area (30) and than the sealing lip (29).
