Anti siphon tank inlet

摘要

This invention relates to inlet devices that include, for example, a tubular inlet body having a central bore defined by a tubular wall and having an axis. The tubular wall defines an open proximal end for receiving fuel. A plurality of apertures are provided through the tubular wall for egress of fuel. The distal end of the tubular body is blocked by a baffle defining a baffle surface facing into the bore of the tubular body, wherein at least a portion of the baffle surface is inclined at an acute angle relative to the axis to deflect fuel towards apertures in the tubular wall; and wherein the baffle surface is at least substantially free from apertures.

1. A fluid tank inlet device comprising:
a tubular inlet body having a central bore defined by a tubular wall and having a longitudinal axis; the tubular wall defining an open proximal end for receiving fuel; a plurality of apertures provided through the tubular wall for egress of fuel; wherein the distal end of the tubular body is blocked by a baffle defining a baffle surface facing into the bore of the tubular body; wherein at least a portion of the baffle surface is inclined at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis to deflect fuel towards apertures in the tubular wall; wherein the baffle surface is at least substantially free from apertures; and wherein a peripheral portion of a base of the baffle curves radially outwards towards the tubular wall such that the peripheral portion defines a concave portion of the baffle surface which faces the tubular body.
