Filling device for a vehicle, and vehicle having such a filling device

Abstract

A filling device for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, includes: a vehicle body flap which forms at least part of a skin of the vehicle and is designed to pivot between a first position and a second position that differs from the first position, the vehicle body flap having an opening; a container for storing a fluid; and a filler neck which is mounted on the vehicle body flap such that the filler neck can pivot along with the vehicle body flap relative to the container between the first position and the second position and is connected to the opening. When the vehicle body flap is in the first position, an end portion of the filler neck is partially inserted into an opening portion of the container such that the container can be filled with fluid via the opening and the filler neck. A bearing is provided to support the opening portion of the container or the end portion of the filler neck in a starting position and allow the opening portion or end portion to move from the starting position to a compensating position within one or more specified degrees of freedom such that an offset of the other portion when the end portion is inserted into the opening portion is compensated by the movement of opening portion or end portion into the compensating position.
