However, the applicant of the present application has filed Japanese Patent Application No. 5-1952.
No. 56 discloses a technique related to an oil supply device which solves these disadvantages.

[0004]

However, in such a lubricating device (Japanese Patent Application No. 5-195256), the main body case and the upper case are integrally formed, and the lubricating device is provided at the upper end of the upper case. Screw holes for hooks for lifting are provided, and after installation at the gas station, the hooks are removed and covered with a rubber cover. Therefore, the upper case also needs to be made as strong as the main body case, and is taller, making it difficult to manufacture and transport.

Therefore, the present invention makes it easy to handle the oil supply hose even when the oil supply device has a long oil supply hose,
It is another object of the present invention to provide a refueling device that can be easily manufactured and transported.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, an oil supply device according to the present invention comprises an oil supply pump,
A flow meter and a display are built in, a discharge pipe of the flow meter is connected to a swivel elbow attached to the front of the main body case, and a refueling hose having a refueling nozzle at a tip is connected to the swivel elbow. A fuel supply device main body with a safety fitting installed in the middle thereof, two props and a retractor which are separately provided from the refueling device main body and are fixed to the upper portion of the refueling device main body by bolts, and An upper case consisting of a thin top case attached between the upper ends, and a wire pulled out from a retractor built in horizontally on the top case is connected to an outer surface of the top case via a guide roller provided on the top case. It is pulled out through a hole formed in the attached protector, and its tip is fixed in front of a safety fitting provided in the middle of the oil supply hose.

[0007]

[Function] The upper case is separated by the safety fitting when the oil supply hose is pulled and the retractor's wire is pulled, so no extra force is applied. Therefore, there is no need to make the upper case firmly. Even if the main case and the upper case are formed separately, there is no problem in strength, and the upper case can be attached after the main case is installed at the gas station. In addition, the height of the main body case can be reduced, and the manufacture and transportation become easy. In addition, by incorporating the retractor horizontally in the thin top case, the whole can be made more compact than in the vertical case. Further, since the retractor wire incorporated in the top case is drawn out through the hole of the protector via the guide roller, the drawer is smooth and the frame structure of the top case is not damaged.
