Abstract: A dispensing nozzle including a nozzle body defining a fluid path therein and configured such that fluid is flowable through the fluid path in a downstream direction. The nozzle includes an inlet valve in the fluid path and a vent valve in the fluid path positioned downstream of the inlet valve. The nozzle further includes a slide component positioned between the vent valve and the inlet valve, and an actuator that is manually movable between a first position and a second position. The actuator is operatively coupled to the slide component and configured such that operation of the actuator from the first position to the second position directly or indirectly causes the inlet valve to open and directly or indirectly causes the vent valve to close.

Abstract: A valve including a valve body having an area of weakness along which the valve body is predisposed to break. The valve further includes a closure valve positioned in the valve body, wherein the valve body includes a chamber configured to retain fluid therein to thereby maintain the closure valve in an open position. The valve is configured such when at least part of the valve body is sufficiently displaced or broken along the area of weakness at least part of the fluid in the chamber escapes the chamber, thereby causing or enabling the closure valve to move to a closed position.
