Abstract

The invention provides a dispensing valve or fuel nozzle having an earth (ground) cable and/or a safety cap for covering the discharge opening, the safety cap connected by a cord to the dispensing valve, wherein the dispensing valve has an automatic retraction system for the earth cable and/or the cord of said safety cap.

Claims (23)

1. A dispensing valve for filling liquids into a storage container, said dispensing valve having an earth cable ( 14 ), wherein said dispensing valve has an automatic retraction system for said earth cable,

wherein said dispensing valve comprises:

i) a main valve, and

ii) an actuating lever ( 5 ) designed for opening said main valve in opposition to a force biasing the main valve into a closed position,

wherein the actuating lever ( 5 ) and a valve actuation mechanism of the main valve are connected kinematically by means of a coupler mechanism with a transformation that is variable during the course of the actuating path of the actuating lever ( 5 ).

2. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein the coupler mechanism has an entrainment lever ( 22 ) that is coupled to the actuating lever ( 5 ), wherein a first actuating end ( 20 ) of said entrainment lever ( 22 ) is operatively connected to valve rod ( 18 ) of the main valve.

3. The dispensing valve of claim 2 , wherein said entrainment lever ( 22 ) has a second end that is coupled to a first end of a reversing lever ( 24 ), wherein a second end of said reversing lever ( 24 ) is coupled to a stationary region of the dispensing valve.

4. The dispensing valve of claim 3 , wherein the first actuating end ( 20 ) of the entrainment lever ( 22 ) has a substantially straight-line motion.

5. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein the coupler mechanism has a drag lever ( 28 ).

6. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein a valve body ( 3 ) has two inlets ( 2 ) that are arranged diametrically opposite, and to which two inlet regions ( 7 ) of a dispensing valve housing are connected.

7. The dispensing valve of claim 6 , wherein the inlet regions ( 7 ) of the dispensing valve housing are connected to the inlets ( 2 ) of the valve body ( 3 ) so as to be pivotable.

8. The dispensing valve of claim 6 , wherein the inlet regions ( 2 ) of the dispensing valve housing extend in a fork-shape from hose connection ( 1 ) of the dispensing valve toward the inlets ( 7 ) of the valve body ( 3 ).

9. The dispensing valve of claim 8 , wherein a connecting web ( 8 ) is provided between the fork-shaped inlet regions.

10. The dispensing valve of claim 9 , wherein said connecting web ( 8 ) is a liquid passage.

11. The dispensing valve of claim 9 , wherein an inspection glass ( 9 ) is provided in the valve body ( 3 ) or in the connecting web ( 8 ).

12. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a nominal width of at least 25 mm.

13. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a nominal width of 40 mm to 50 mm.

14. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a delivery performance of at least 150 l/min.

15. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a delivery performance of at least 200 l/min.

16. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a delivery performance of at least 300 l/min.

17. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a delivery performance of at least 400 l/min.

18. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a delivery performance of a maximum of 800 l/min.

19. The dispensing valve of claim 1 , wherein said dispensing valve has a quick change pipe ( 6 ).
