  • Patent number: 9242849
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9051164
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20140048173
    Abstract: 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.
