Liquid container nozzles including a valve handle, valve body, spool, and spout assembly, where the valve body may move slidingly into the valve handle over the spool to control the flow of liquid through the nozzle. Liquid flow may be controlled by adjusting the position of the valve body in relation to the valve handle and spool using varying force or pressure. The spool may include one or more holes to control the flow of liquid. In some examples of the invention, the spool may narrow in an S-shaped fashion, and the holes of the spool may be located on a portion of the spool that narrows to form S-shaped holes. These holes may swirl liquid as it is poured from the nozzle to create a more uniform flow.

The present disclosure is directed to devices for dispensing liquid, especially fuel. In one embodiment, a device for dispensing fuel includes a spout for pouring liquid fuel, an annular fitting including a chamber formed therein. A sealing surface, a stopper, and spring may be disposed within the chamber. The annular fitting may be attached to the spout. The annular fitting may be configured to mate with a portable fuel canister. The fitting may include sidewalls forming a channel for liquid fuel, an outer wall enveloping a portion of the sidewall forming a chamber proximate the liquid channel, and an atmospheric orifice formed in the outer wall. The sealing surface may be disposed proximal the orifice. The spring may be configured to bias the stopper into contact with the sealing surface such that the chamber is in selective pressure-dependent fluid communication with an atmosphere outside the device.

Systems are provided for refueling a fuel tank of a motor vehicle via a funnel including an insert. In one example, a system may include a funnel including an insert coupled to an inner circumference of the funnel, the insert including a plurality of projections positioned on an inner perimeter of the insert. The plurality of projections may include a first projection spanning a first axial length, a second projection spanning a second axial length, and a third projection spanning a third axial length.

A piston-operated dispenser unit for confectionery food products, comprising (I) a door (4) mountable on a dispensing mouth (5) of a machine (2) for making and instantaneously dispensing confectionery products; (II) at least one dispensing tap (9), in turn comprising a main body (10), extending frontally from the door (4) and forming, inside the door (4), an outflow duct (11) for the product to be dispensed, and a piston (13), slidably mounted inside the duct (11) and mobile between an open position and a closed position of the duct (11); (III) a manually operated lever (17), connected to the piston (13) for moving the piston (13) between the open position and the closed position of the duct (11), and vice versa; and (IV) a spring (24) operating on the piston (13) to apply an action for keeping the piston (13) in the closed position.

A device separable from a gasoline pump, wherein the device is configured to engage the trigger mechanism of the gasoline pump's fuel nozzle to hold the fuel nozzle in the activated position, thereby enabling hands-free pumping from the fuel nozzle. The device has a set of jaws biased in a closed position yet movable to an open position through manipulation of its lever arms. Teeth provided with the set of jaws facilitate the maintaining of the fuel nozzle in the activated position.
