Patent number: 10047886Abstract: The invention relates to a breakaway coupling for a liquid line comprising a first and a second coupling part (3, 4) which each have a liquid connection and which can be separated by a defined force in the axial direction of the coupling and/or a tilting moment acting transversally to the axial direction. According to the invention, an antitwist device (12) is provided which prevents the first and second coupling part (4, 3) from twisting relative to one another during the operation of the coupling.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2012Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: ELAFLEX HIBY TANKTECHNIK GMBH & CO.Inventor: Heinz-Ulrich Meyer

Patent number: 9242849Abstract: The invention relates to a filling nozzle for dispensing a liquid into a tank of a motor vehicle, having a main valve (5). It is provided according to the invention that a safety valve (7) is arranged downstream of the main valve (5), which safety valve can be moved from a closed position into an open position by means of an opening movement directed in an upstream direction, and that a safety device (11) is provided which has an operative connection to the safety valve (7) and which is designed to detect the insertion of the filling nozzle into a tank provided for the corresponding liquid and which effects a movement of the safety valve from the closed position into the open position when an insertion of the filling nozzle into a tank provided for the corresponding liquid is detected.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Elaflex Hiby Tanktechnik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Stefan Kunter, Ulrich Meyer

Patent number: 9051164Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing valve for dispensing liquids into a reservoir container, with a main valve and with an operating lever designed for opening the main valve against a force biasing the main valve into the closed position, wherein the valve actuation mechanism has a continuous characteristic with a smooth profile, with which, when subjecting the operating lever to an actuation force at the start of a valve opening stroke, a different opening force is exerted on the main valve than when subjecting the operating lever to the same actuation force during the later course of the valve opening stroke.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Elaflex Hiby Tanktechnik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Achim Aehle, Stefan Kunter, Matthias Fedde

Patent number: 8863791Abstract: A fuel hose nozzle for filling a tank having a filler the tank with liquefied petroleum gas has a tubular valve housing extending along an axis and having an outer end, a tubular valve guide axially shiftable in the valve housing between a front position and a rear position and forming an outlet port adjacent the outer end, and a valve in the housing movable between an open position permitting fluid flow into the valve guide toward the outlet end and a closed position preventing such flow. A valve piston in the valve guide and axially fixed in the valve housing is engaged in the front position of the valve guide with the port to block flow through same. A fitting sleeve surrounding and axially shiftable on the valve housing has at the outer end an end fitting complementary to the tank filler neck.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Elaflex Hiby Tanktechnik GmbH & Co.Inventors: Achim Aehle, Stefan Kunter, Heinz-Ulrich Meyer, Michael Wehner

Publication number: 20140048173Abstract: The invention relates to a filling nozzle for dispensing liquid into a tank of a motor vehicle, having an actuating lever for a valve device and having a safety device moveable from a blocking position into an enabling position, wherein, in the blocking position, the valve device is closed regardless of the position of the actuating lever, and in the enabling position, the valve device can be opened by means of the actuating lever. The operative connection between the safety device and valve device is realized without external energy. The invention makes it possible to realize a misfilling inhibitor without external electrical energy, for example, and thus to fit a filling nozzle for urea solution, for example, in the explosion-protected region of a conventional fuel filling pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2013Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: Elaflex Hiby Tanktechnik GmbH & Co.
