Abstract:
1. A device for decanting a liquid including fuel and lubricant into a vessel, the device comprising: a tube-shaped support unit defining a flow channel and having a free end; a valve plate arranged at said free end and being movable between a first position wherein said flow channel is blocked and a second position wherein said flow channel is cleared to discharge said liquid into said vessel; said tube-shaped support unit including an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve telescopically mounted in said outer sleeve so as to permit said outer and inner sleeves to move relative to each other; resilient biasing means for providing a biasing force to resiliently bias said plate into said first position; said valve plate defining a peripheral edge and including first and second tie rods arranged on said valve plate adjacent said peripheral edge and said tie rods extending into the interior of said support unit; means for coupling said first and second tie rods to the relative movement of said inner and outer sleeves so as to permit said valve plate to be moved from said first position to said second position against said biasing force; one of said first tie rods having a radial opening formed therein in the region of said valve plate; and, said device further including a venting line running along the interior of said support unit and connected to said radial opening.
