Publication number: 20160176699Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling element (2), which comprises a first liquid connection (3) for connecting to a first part of a liquid line (1) and a second liquid connection (4) for connecting to a second part of a liquid line (5). In addition, the coupling element comprises a break-away coupling (6). The first liquid connection (3) is designed to establish a threaded connection to the first part of the liquid line (1). The two longitudinal axes (7, 8) of the liquid connections (3, 4) lie at an angle to each other. According to the invention, a rotation-preventing element (9) is provided on the first liquid connection (3) of the coupling element (2), which rotation-preventing element permits a relative rotation between the first part of the liquid line (1) and the coupling element (2) if a defined torque acts between the first part of the liquid line (1) and the coupling element (2). Safe operation of the coupling element is ensured by the rotation-preventing element according to the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2014Publication date: June 23, 2016Inventor: Heinz Ulrich Meyer

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.
