Description

Description: [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a gas station for supplying gasoline to an automobile or the like.

[Conventional technology]

The gasoline refueling machine installed in such a gas station is roughly classified into a ground-fixed type that erects a refueling machine case on an island installed on the ground, and a case of a refueling hose processing device installed above a canopy or the like, There is a suspension type in which the refueling hose is suspended from here.

By the way, as for the means for displaying the amount of refueling, etc., most of the fixed type on the ground are those in which the indicator is integrated into the case of the refueling machine, but the suspended type is different from the case of the hose processing device. Body indicators were installed on the walls of offices and other buildings where it was easy to see.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

For this reason, a large number of hose processing cases and indicators are hung separately from above, and the upper part in the gas station becomes complicated and not only looks and is not easy to use. Many components were required and the cost was high.

By the way, there is a hose processing case in which an indicator is integrally incorporated, and in this case, a large number of hose processing cases are not suspended from above, and the above inconvenience is eliminated. However, the refueling amount of refueling performed by using the refueling hose fed from the hose processing case is displayed on the indicator incorporated in the case. Since it is located almost directly above, the indicator is also located almost directly above the refueling position, which makes it difficult to see the indication of the refueling amount from the refueling point.

Therefore, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-194995, a mirror is provided at a position opposite to the display in a case where a hose processing device and a display are integrally incorporated, and the display is displayed on the display. There is also a thing in which the numbers displayed on the display are mirrored and viewed as reverse numbers.

However, in this conventional example, the installation place is limited on the assumption that a wall or the like on which the mirror is installed exists at a position facing the display device, and the display is a reflective surface, which is difficult to see depending on the light ray angle. Sometimes.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the inconvenience of the conventional example, when the display and the hose processing device are provided above, the installation location is not limited, the display can be easily seen from the refueling position, and the refueling work efficiency can be improved. It is to provide a gas station that is inexpensive and does not cause a feeling of complication.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a plurality of refueling areas, and a refueling hose having a refueling nozzle attached to the tip thereof is hung from above each refueling area, and a case is provided above the refueling area. The refueling hose is hung from a hose processing device provided in the case, and a refueling amount indicator is provided on an end surface of the case, which is provided above the adjacent refueling area, facing the other case. The gist of the present invention is that the oil supply amount indicator provided in one case indicates the amount of oil supplied by the oil supply hose suspended from the other case.

[Action]

According to the present invention, the amount of oil supplied by using the hose processing device of one case provided facing each other is displayed on the indicator of the other case. You only have to look at the slope, not the top, and it is easy to see and work. For example, such a gas station is effective without being difficult to see the display even in a particularly small space when installed on the first floor of a building where the installation space is limited.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of a gas station of the present invention,
This is the case where the first floor of a building such as a building is used as a gas station. In the figure, 1 is a building such as a building, 2 is the first floor thereof, and the side facing the road is formed as an open surface. 3a, 3
Reference numeral b denotes a plurality of pillars constructed on the first floor 2, and the horizontally long cases 5a and 5b are attached above the plurality of pillars 3a and 3b and near the ceiling 4 by penetrating the pillars 3a and 3b.

As shown in the perspective views of FIGS. 2 and 3, the cases 5a and 5b have a hose treatment device 6 inside when the case 5a is taken as an example.
And a refueling hose 8 having a refueling nozzle 7 at its tip is suspended from the hose processing device 6. Further, an indicator 9 for displaying the amount of refueling and the like is provided on one side of the case 5a, and the oil type name 10 such as "regular" or "high octane" and the refueling machine number 11 such as "1" that can be refueled by the case 5a are provided on the other side. "2"
In the vicinity of the display 9, the refueling machine number 12 for displaying the amount of refueling or the like on the display 9 is written, for example, “3” and “4”.

Further, the case 5b is the same as the case 5a, and the hose processing device 6
A fueling hose 8 having a fueling nozzle 7 at the tip is suspended, a display 9 is provided on the side surface of the case 5b, and the oil type name 10 and the fueling machine numbers 11 and 12 are described.

When the cases 5a and 5b are attached to the pillars 3a and 3b, respectively, the amount of oil supplied by the adjacent hose processing device 6 is displayed on the end surface side facing the oil supply area formed below the adjacent cases 5a and 5b. The indicators 9 are arranged so that the indicators 9 face each other in the adjacent cases, and the amount of refueling performed using the refueling hose 8 of the one case 5a is the same as that of the other case 5b. In addition, the refueling machine number 12 provided near the display 9 is also the refueling machine number of the other case 5b.

Next, the operation and usage will be explained. In one case, for example,
When refueling regular gasoline using the refueling nozzle 7 of the refueling hose 8 suspended from 5b, the pillar 3b is used as a guide for the stop position, and the vehicle is stopped at the refueling position below the case 5b along this. Then, the refueling nozzle 7 of the refueling hose 8 suspended from the case 5b is inserted into the gasoline tank of the automobile for refueling.

The refueling amount is displayed on the display 9 of the other case 5a different from the case 5b in which the refueling nozzle 7 is suspended.

In this case, since the same number "3" as the refueling machine number 12 "3" of the refueling nozzle 7 is written as the refueling machine number 12 in the vicinity of the display 9 which displays the refueling amount, another display is displayed. There is no danger of mistakenly identifying the amount of fuel supplied on item 9,
Further, since the case 5a in which the amount of refueling is displayed is located obliquely above the refueling position, it is possible to read the amount of refueling only by pointing the line of sight slightly upward.

In the first embodiment described above, the cases 5a and 5b are attached to the columns 3a and 3b of the building 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second
As an example, as shown in FIG. 4, cases 5a and 5b are attached to ceiling 4
You may make it hang from. And in this case,
Since there are no pillars on the floor, the pillars do not interfere with the running of the car, and the stopping position can be freely decided and the visibility is good.

In addition, although the case where two cases are provided has been described in the first and second examples, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be appropriately performed within a range in which the correspondence relationship between the fuel supply hose 8 and the display 9 is clear. Multiple units can be installed.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, in the fueling station of the present invention, when the indicator and the hose processing device are provided above, the display of the amount of refueling can be seen only by directing the line of sight slightly upward, so that the refueling work efficiency is easy to see. It also leads to improvement.

Further, since the respective indicators are provided on the other cases in which the other refueling hoses are suspended, it is not necessary to separately provide the indicator cases, so that the cost is low and the complication occurs. There is no fear that the gas station as a whole looks good, and is particularly effective for gas stations formed on the first floor of a building where space is limited.
