Patent ID: 8631837

Claim:
A nozzle for dispensing fluid comprising: a nozzle body including a fluid path which is configured to receive fluid therein and a vapor path which is configured to receive vapor therein; a main fluid valve positioned in said fluid path to control a flow of fluid therethrough, said main fluid valve including a main fluid valve spring configured to bias the main fluid valve to one of its open or closed positions; and a main vapor valve positioned in said vapor path to control a flow of vapor therethrough, said main vapor valve including a main vapor valve spring configured to bias the main vapor valve to one of its open or closed positions, wherein at least part of said main fluid valve spring or said main vapor valve spring is positioned within the other one of said main fluid valve spring or said main vapor valve spring such that said main fluid spring and said main vapor spring at least partially overlap in an axial direction, and wherein said main fluid valve spring and said main vapor valve spring are both positioned in one of said fluid path or said vapor path, and wherein said main fluid valve spring biases said main fluid valve positioned in said fluid path and said main vapor valve spring biases said main vapor valve positioned in said vapor path, wherein said positioning of said main fluid valve spring and said main vapor valve spring in said one of said fluid path or said vapor path enables said least partial axial overlapping of said springs to provide a low profile spring arrangement.
