The invention relates to a filler neck (1) for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle having at least one tubular section (3) provided in the region of the filler inlet (2) in order to receive the outlet pipe of a fuel delivery nozzle (5), and a flame barrier (4) which is provided in the tubular section (3)
The invention relates to a filler neck (1) for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle having at least one tubular section (3) provided in the region of the filler inlet (2) in order to receive the outlet pipe of a fuel delivery nozzle (5), and a flame barrier (4) which is provided in the tubular section (3) and surrounds the outlet pipe of the fuel delivery nozzle (5) in the inserted state, wherein the flame barrier (4) includes at least two segments (6) which are mounted resiliently in the radial direction of the tubular section (3), the diameter of the opening (7) in the flame barrier (4) for the outlet pipe of the fuel delivery nozzle (5) being smaller in the prestressed state of the segments (6) than the diameter of the outlet pipe of the fuel delivery nozzle (5).

1. A filler neck for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle comprising: at least one tubular section provided in a region of a filler inlet to receive an outlet pipe of a fuel delivery nozzle, wherein the outlet pipe has a diameter, anda flame barrier provided in the tubular section, wherein the flame barrier is arranged to surround the outlet pipe of the fuel delivery nozzle when the fuel delivery nozzle is within the tubular section,wherein the flame barrier comprises at least two segments which are moveable in the tubular section, the at least two segments movable from a first state occupied before insertion of the fuel delivery nozzle into the tubular section to a second state occupied after insertion of the fuel delivery nozzle into the tubular section,wherein, in the first state of the at least two segments, a diameter of an opening in the flame barrier for the outlet pipe is arranged smaller in a prestressed state of the segments than the diameter of the outlet pipe of the fuel delivery nozzle,wherein, in the second state of the at least two segments, gaps are formed between the at least two segments such that a distance of the gaps between the at least two segments is smaller than 2 mm,wherein, in the second state of the at least two segments, the distance of the gaps between the at least two segments is such that fuel vapor from within the tank passes through the gaps while preventing a flashback outside the tank from passing through the gaps, andwherein the at least two segments are electrically conductive and are connected in an electrically conducting manner to an electric ground. 2. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the flame barrier is at least partially arranged in a radial bulge of the tubular section. 3. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the flame barrier comprises a spring ring which is arranged between the tubular section and the segments of the flame barrier. 4. The filler neck as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the spring ring is formed of spring steel or elastomer. 5. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, in the first state of the at least two segments, the diameter of the opening in the flame barrier for the outlet pipe is between 20 mm and 25 mm. 6. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the segments are at least partially formed of plastic. 7. The filler neck as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that the plastic comprises electrically conductive polyoxymethylene or glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide. 8. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that at least one of the segments is exchangeable retrospectively with another segment. 9. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the segments are interlaced. 10. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the flame barrier comprises at least four segments. 11. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that a flap is furthermore provided within the tubular section, said flap closing the tubular section and being opened upon insertion of the outlet pipe of the fuel delivery nozzle. 12. The filler neck as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that the flap is arranged downstream of the flame barrier in an insertion direction of the outlet pipe of the fuel delivery nozzle. 13. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the distance of the gaps between the at least two segments is smaller than 1.2 mm. 14. The filler neck as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the distance of the gaps between the at least two segments is smaller than 0.9 mm.
