Patent ID: 7931175

Claim:
A nozzle for use in connection with providing fluid material from a container, comprising a conical nozzle base, a conical nozzle tip and a link connecting the nozzle base and the nozzle tip wherein the link has a first pivotal state and a second locked state when the link is under pressure from the fluid material, the link includes a first surface and second surface, the surfaces being pivotally connected to each other, the surfaces are angled in relation to a longitudinal center axis of the nozzle, the link provides a flow channel having an internal surface through which the fluid material flows, an end of the nozzle base from which the fluid material flows having a cross section that substantially matches a cross section of an opening of the link that receives the fluid material and an opening of the link from which the fluid material flows into the nozzle tip having a cross section that substantially matches a cross section of an opening of the tip that receives the fluid flow of material, and wherein the surfaces are circular and the first surface is provided along an edge thereof with a collar which engages over the second surface, the collar is provided with raised parts or recesses distributed around a periphery of the collar and the nozzle, the nozzle comprises a locking mechanism which can lock the nozzle base and the nozzle tip to each other in the locked state, the locking mechanism comprising a part which is slid in over one of one of the raised parts or into recesses in the link, which is connected to and slides on a slide rail in one of the nozzle base and nozzle tips.
