Appl. No.:

10/623642

Inventors:

Jason Schultz - Belleville MI, US
David Zultowski - Canton MI, US
Kevin Reising - West Bloomfield MI, US

Assignee:

Visteon Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

F02M 37/04

US Classification:

123509, 123510

Abstract:

A fuel supply system and fuel filter for a vehicle prevent bleed down of the fuel filter and minimizes the amount of any air or vapor delivered to the fuel supply line. The fuel filter includes a housing enclosing a filter media. The filter includes an inlet for receiving fuel from the fuel pump. The filter also includes first and second outlets. The first outlet supplies filtered fuel to the fuel supply line. The second outlet supplies filtered fuel to the jet pump. In this way, by providing a single outlet from the fuel pump to the fuel filter, and providing two outlets from the fuel filter which separately leads to the fuel supply line and the jet pump, bleed down is prevented and vapors within the fuel supply line are reduced.

US Classification:

141 97, 141 98, 141301, 123510

Abstract:

A fuel flange assembly for a vehicle fuel system provides Electro Static Dissipation without an undue increase in cost or reduction in the durability of the tank components. The fuel flange assembly generally includes a fuel tube, a tank flange, and a pressure control device. The fuel tube is constructed of a conductive polymer and has an inlet and an outlet. The fuel tube includes a portion defining a housing positioned between the inlet and the outlet. The tank flange is constructed of a non-conductive polymer. The pressure control device is fitted within the housing and includes a conductive outer casing engaging the fuel tube and forming an electrical pathway.

International Classification:

F02M 37/04

US Classification:

123509, 123514, 13756522

Abstract:

An in-tank fuel supply unit is provided for supplying fuel from a fuel tank to an engine. The fuel supply unit generally comprises a fuel delivery module and a jet pump assembly selectively attachable to the fuel delivery module. The fuel delivery module has a housing defining a reservoir and includes a fuel pump for pressurizing fuel in the reservoir. The jet pump assembly has a suction tube defining a suction chamber and a nozzle situated inside the suction chamber. The nozzle receives pressurized fuel from the fuel pump and sprays the fuel from a nozzle tip at high velocity to draw additional fuel into the suction chamber through an inlet formed in the suction tube.

Inventors:

Daven Bhavsar - Canton MI, US
Heather Knechtges - Saline MI, US
Jason Schultz - Belleville MI, US
Matthew Wiethoff - Dexter MI, US
Stephen Kempfer - Canton MI, US

International Classification:

F02M 37/04

US Classification:

123509000

Abstract:

An in-tank fuel supply unit includes a fuel filter attached to a fuel delivery module for in-tank placement that does not limit the capacity of the unit or increase the size of the unit in a manner that creates undesirable packaging issues. The fuel supply unit generally comprises a fuel delivery module having a housing and a fuel pump. A fuel filter is rigidly attached to a side of the housing such that the fuel delivery module and fuel filter are placed within the fuel tank through the opening as a single unit. The fuel delivery module and fuel filter form an L-shape which permits the entire unit to be inserted through the standard opening which is sized for the fuel delivery module alone.

International Classification:

B60J 5/04
B60R 13/02

Abstract:

A multi-component door assembly for a vehicle includes a lower door portion rotatably coupled to a body of the vehicle and including at least one receiving aperture defined therein, and an upper door portion selectively removable from the lower door portion and including at least one post configured to be received within the at least one receiving aperture for removably coupling the upper door portion to the lower door portion. At least one trim cap is configured to selectively cover and conceal the at least one receiving aperture.

Appl. No.:

16/591168

Inventors:

Jason E Schultz - Clarkston MI, US
Robert J Reagle - Sterling Heights MI, US

International Classification:

B60J 5/04
B60J 10/80

Abstract:

In at least some implementations, a vehicle door includes a first section having a first void, a second section having a first projection, a first intermediate member received within the first void and having an inner surface that defines an interior, wherein the first projection is received within the interior, and a first coupler coupled to the first projection. The interior of the first intermediate member has at least a portion that is larger than the portion of the first projection received within that portion of the interior to permit movement of the first projection relative to the intermediate member. The first coupler is coupled to the intermediate member to maintain the position of the first projection relative to the first section. In this way, the position of the second section may be adjusted relative to the first section and the adjusted position can be maintained.

B60J 7/12
B60J 10/90

Abstract:

A support bracket assembly configured to couple to a vehicle body and support a collapsed articulating frame of a vehicle soft top assembly is provided. The support bracket assembly includes a support bracket having a main body portion having a slot formed therein and configured to couple to the vehicle body, and a receiving portion coupled to the main body portion and configured to receive at least a portion of the collapsed articulating frame therein. A strap is configured to be inserted through the slot and wrapped around the collapsed articulating frame to facilitate securing the collapsed articulating frame within the receiving portion and preventing relative movement of the collapsed articulating frame when the vehicle is in motion.
