A capless automotive fueling system having a funnel with a port open to receive a fuel filling nozzle. A spring loaded valve is movable between an open position in which the port is open and a closed position in which the fuel valve overlies and sealingly covers the port. A shield is movable between a first position in which the shield overlies and covers the valve, and a second position in which the shield is laterally disposed to one side of the valve to permit insertion of the fuel filling nozzle. A motor is drivingly connected to the shield and, on activation, moves the shield from its first and to its second position. Alternatively, two latches engage the valve to retain the valve in a closed position. Upon insertion of a properly sized fuel nozzle, the nozzle engages the latches and pivots them to an open position.

Cette invention concerne un système de remplissage de carburant sans bouchon pour automobiles comprenant un tube avec un orifice qui s'ouvre pour recevoir l'embout du pistolet de remplissage. Un clapet sous charge de ressort peut se déplacer entre une position ouverte dans laquelle l'orifice est ouvert et une position fermée dans laquelle le clapet recouvre et obture l'orifice. Un opercule peut se déplacer entre une première position dans laquelle il recouvre le clapet et une seconde position dans laquelle il est déplacé latéralement et libère le passage pour l'embout de pistolet. Un moteur est connecté fonctionnel à l'opercule qu'il fait passer de la première à la seconde position lorsqu'il est activé. En variante, deux loquets s'engagent dans le clapet et le maintiennent en position fermée. Lorsque l'on insère un embout de pistolet de la taille convenable, cet embout s'engage dans les loquets et les fait pivoter sur la position d'ouverture.
