Module with nozzle boot for a fuel dispensing unit
View Patent ↗A nozzle module for a fuel dispensing unit is described. The nozzle module has a top section attachable to a column module of the fuel dispensing unit, a bottom section attachable to a base module of the fuel dispensing unit, at least one nozzle boot for holding a nozzle, which nozzle boot is arranged between the top section and the bottom section. The nozzle module has an internal channel enabling fluid communication through the nozzle module. A fuel dispensing unit is also described.
1. A nozzle module for a fuel dispensing unit, the nozzle unit comprising:
a top section attachable to a column module of the dispensing unit;
a bottom section attachable to a base module of the dispensing unit;
at least one nozzle boot for holding a nozzle, the nozzle boot arranged between the top section and the bottom section; and
an internal channel enabling fluid communication through the nozzle module, wherein the internal channel extends through the bottom section.
2. The nozzle module according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom section is adapted to be arranged above the base module of the fuel dispensing unit.
3. The nozzle module according to claim 1 , wherein the internal channel is adapted to receive a tube arrangement.
4. The nozzle module according to claim 1 , wherein the internal channel comprises at least one tube of a tube arrangement.
5. The nozzle module according to claim 4 , wherein the nozzle module further comprises quick couplings for connecting the at least one tube with additional parts of the tube arrangement.
6. The nozzle module according to claim 3 , wherein the tube arrangement comprises separate tubes for fuel distribution and vapour recovery.
7. The nozzle module according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle module has a cross section of a truncated cone, the bottom section forming the base of the truncated cone.
8. The nozzle module according to claim 7 , wherein the nozzle module has two parallel side sections each extending in a tapering manner from the bottom section to the top section.
9. The nozzle module according to claim 7 , wherein the nozzle module has two side sections which extend in a mutual converging manner from the bottom section to the top section.
10. The nozzle module according to claim 9 , wherein the two side sections extending in a mutual converging manner from the bottom section comprise at least one nozzle boot.
11. The nozzle module according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one nozzle boot is integrally formed with the nozzle module.
12. A fuel dispensing unit for refueling vehicles, the fuel dispensing unit comprising:
a nozzle module comprising:
a top section attachable to a column module of the dispensing unit;
a bottom section attachable to a base module of the dispensing unit;
at least one nozzle boot for holding a nozzle, the nozzle boot arranged between the top section and the bottom section; and
an internal channel enabling fluid communication through the nozzle module, wherein the internal channel extends through the bottom section.
13. The fuel dispending unit according to claim 12 , wherein the bottom section is adapted to be arranged above the base module of the fuel dispensing unit.
14. The fuel dispending unit according to claim 12 , wherein the internal channel is adapted to receive a tube arrangement.
15. The fuel dispending unit according to claim 12 , wherein the internal channel comprises at least one tube of a tube arrangement.
16. The fuel dispending unit according to claim 15 , wherein the nozzle module further comprises quick couplings for connecting the at least one tube with additional parts of the tube arrangement.
17. The fuel dispending unit according to claim 14 , wherein the tube arrangement comprises separate tubes for fuel distribution and vapour recovery.
18. The fuel dispending unit according to claim 12 , wherein the nozzle module has a cross section of a truncated cone, the bottom section forming the base of the truncated cone.
19. The fuel dispensing unit according to claim 18 , wherein the nozzle module has two parallel side sections, each extending in a tapering manner from the bottom section to the top section.
