PCT No. PCT/SE93/00717 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 3, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 3, 1995 PCT Filed Sep. 3, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/05592 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 17, 1994Apparatus for the automatic refuelling of vehicles, primarily cars, including a robot which includes a robot head that is movable in relation to the robot so as to bring the robot head to a predetermined position in relation to the vehicle fuel tank pipe. The positioning of the robot head is effected by a positioning system which includes a first part located on the robot head and a second part placed in a predetermined position on the vehicle, wherein the robot head includes an outer tube and an inner tube which can be moved within said outer tube and extended out of said tube. The outer tube is resilient or yieldable, and the free, front end of the outer tube has the shape of a truncated cone that docks with a correspondingly conical part of an adapter attached to the upper orifice of the vehicle fuel tank pipe during said positioning operation. After the docking operation, the free forward end of the inner tube projects outwardly to a position down into the fuel-tank pipe, whereafter fuel is delivered to the fuel tank through the inner tube. |
