A nozzle for dispensing fluid including a nozzle body having a spout and fluid path through which fluid to be dispensed is flowable. The nozzle includes an actuator configured to detect when the spout is sufficiently inserted into a fluid receptacle, and a shut-off device configured to selectively terminate or prevent fluid dispensing operations through the fluid path. The nozzle further includes an interlock operatively coupling the actuator to the shut-off device. The interlock includes a slider that is operatively coupled to the actuator and a pivotable arm that is operatively coupled to the shut-off device, and the slider is slidable along the arm.

A flow diverter for diverting flow between a toilet bowl and a toilet tank, having: a body having an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet; and a flow adjustment mechanism rotatable within the body to selectively divert different percentages of flow between the first outlet and the second outlet; and an air vent and diaphragm in the body to prevent a siphon flow from the first or second outlet back to the inlet.

The invention relates to a filling nozzle, comprising an inlet (13) for the connection of a fluid supply line, an outlet (14) for dispensing the fluid, a fluid channel (15) connecting the inlet to the outlet, a main valve (16) which is situated in the fluid channel (15) and which is biased against a valve seat into a closed position, a hand lever (17) for actuating the main valve (16), and a coupling device (22) which is operatively connected to the hand lever (17) and which, in the coupled state, is designed to convert a movement of the hand lever (17) into an actuation of the main valve (16), wherein the main valve (16), in the uncoupled state, is urged into the closed position independently of the position of the hand lever (17). The filling nozzle also has a membrane (26) which separates a first membrane space (27) from a second membrane space (28) and which can be moved to actuate the coupling device (22) by means of a pressure difference existing between the first membrane space (27) and the second membrane space (28). A vacuum can be applied to the first membrane space (27), wherein a sensor line (19) opens into the first membrane space (27). According to the invention, the second membrane space (28) is sealed with respect to the fluid channel (15) and is fluidically connected via a ventilation channel (29) to the surroundings outside the filling nozzle, wherein the fluid flows around a part of the coupling device (22) situated outside the second membrane space (28) when the main valve (16) is opened. The reliability of the triggering of the coupling device can be considerably improved in this way.

The invention concerns a delivery valve for the delivery of a fluid into a tank of a motor vehicle. According to the invention, the following is provided: a) the delivery valve has a first settable maximum volume flow, b) the delivery valve has a second settable maximum volume flow which is higher than the first settable maximum volume flow, c) a control device (24, 25), by means of which optionally the first or the second maximum volume flow can be set, d) a sensor device (20, 21), which is configured for interaction with a signal emitter (29) assigned to the tank of the motor vehicle and which activates the control device.

A fuel nozzle is provided including a fuel spout configured to dispense fuel and an enhanced tip disposed at a dispensing end of the fuel spout, the enhanced tip comprising a generally smooth exposed surface configured to limit abrasion of materials contacted by the dispensing end of the fuel spout.

A fill valve with pressure chamber having an open bottom end and a diaphragm at a top end such that falling water level in the toilet tank causes the diaphragm to flex in a first direction, thereby moving a sealing member to an open position, with a venturi in the fill valve keeping the sealing member in the open position until water refilling the tank causes the diaphragm to flex in a second direction, thereby moving the sealing member back to the closed position.
