Patent ID: 11603308

Abstract:
A float controlled nozzle valve for use in a fuel nozzle, to provide for gradual delivery of fuel to a fuel tank, the nozzle, having a housing, including a generally horizontally arranged spout, and embodying a float rod and float assembly, which act upon a valve provided within the nozzle housing, to detect and provide for the flow of fuel into an associated fuel tank, or to curtail the same. The float rod pivotally mounts within the nozzle housing, contains an adjustment screw, which can bias against a valve pin to determine when a valve ball is to be opened from its valve seat, to allow the passage of fuel, or when the valve ball is allowed to seat upon its valve seat, to curtail the further flow of fuel. The nozzle housing is provided for securement to the fuel tank, for which it detects the level of fuel within the tank, to determine when an additional supply of fuel is to be dispensed by way of the nozzle, into its associated fuel tank.
