Bei einer derartigen bekannten Zapfpistole, wie sie etwa in der DE 35 28 612 C1 beschrieben ist, sammelt sich das im Inneren der hohlen Ventilspindel befindliche Zapfmedium nach Beendigung des Zapfvorgangs, wenn die Zapfpistole in annähernd senkrechter Stellung an die Zapfsäule zurückgehängt wird, im dann unteren Bereich des Ventilgehäuses in der Nähe des Abgabeventils und kann beim Herausnehmen der Zapfpistole zu Beginn eines weiteren Zapfvorgangs bei nach vom geneigtem Zapfventil unkontrolliert auslaufen, was zu Verschmutzungen und schädlichen Umwelteinwirkungen führen kann.In such a known fuel nozzle, such as in the DE 35 28 612 C1 is described, the dispensing medium located in the interior of the hollow valve spindle collects after completion of the dispensing operation, when the fuel nozzle is suspended in approximately vertical position to the dispenser in the then lower part of the valve housing in the vicinity of the dispensing valve and can when removing the fuel nozzle at the beginning another tapping when uncontrolled leakage from the inclined nozzle, which can lead to contamination and harmful environmental effects.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Zapfpistole der eingangs genannten Gattung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß in der hohlen Ventilspindel enthaltene Zapfflüssigkeit nach Abschluß eines bzw. bei Beginn eines neuen Zapfvorgangs nicht unkontrolliert austritt.The object of the invention is to improve a nozzle of the type mentioned in that contained in the hollow valve stem tap liquid after completion of or at the beginning of a new dispensing operation does not leak uncontrollably.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Zapfpistole im Schnitt, mit einem Ventilgehäuse 1, einem Einlaufadapter 2, mit dem ein nicht dargestellter Schlauch zur Verbindung mit einer Zapfsäule bzw. Abgabepumpe zu verbinden ist, einem Auslaufrohr 3 sowie einem Betätigungshandgriff 4. Fig. 1 shows a fuel nozzle according to the invention in section, with a valve housing 1, an inlet adapter 2, with which a hose, not shown, for connection to a pump or discharge pump is to be connected, an outlet pipe 3 and an operating handle 4th

Wie Fig. 2 mehr im einzelnen zeigt, ist im Inneren des Ventilgehäuses 1 ein Abgabeventilsitz 14 ausgebildet und ein zugeordneter, von einer Vollschlauchfeder 13 belasteter Abgabeventilkörper 10, 11 sowie eine axial verschiebbare, hohle Ventilspindel 6 angeordnet, die in einem im wesentlichen zylindrischen Lagergehäuse 9 geführt ist. In der Ventilspindel 6 ist eine mit dem Betätigungshandgriff 4 verbundene Zugstange 5 geführt. Die Ventilspindel 6 und die Zugstange 5 sind durch eine zu einer Abschaltautomatik 15, 17, 18 gehörenden Rasteinrichtung mit Verriegelungsrollen 16 kuppelbar und entkuppelbar.As Fig. 2 shows in more detail, a dispensing valve seat 14 is formed in the interior of the valve housing 1 and an associated, loaded by a Vollschlauchfeder 13 dispensing valve body 10, 11 and an axially displaceable hollow valve spindle 6 is arranged, which is guided in a substantially cylindrical bearing housing 9. In the valve stem 6 a connected to the operating handle 4 pull rod 5 is guided. The valve spindle 6 and the pull rod 5 can be coupled and uncoupled by a locking device belonging to an automatic shut-off 15, 17, 18 with locking rollers 16.

Die Abschaltautomatik weist eine Unterdruckkammer 15a mit einer damit in Stömungsverbindung stehenden Füllstandsfühlerleitung 3b und eine im Bereich des Abgabeventilsitzes 14 mündende Unterdruckleitung 1c sowie eine Druckausgleichskammer 15b und eine kammertrennende, die Rasteinrichtung betätigende Membran 15 auf. Die Membran 15 wird in Richtung auf die Druckausgleichskammer 15b von einer Membranfeder 17 vorgespannt, wobei der Abschaltunterdruck der Abschaltautomatik durch die Membranfeder 17 einstellbar ist.The automatic switch-off has a vacuum chamber 15a with a fill-level sensor line 3b in fluid communication therewith and a vacuum line 1c opening in the region of the dispensing valve seat 14 and a pressure-equalizing chamber 15b and a chamber-separating membrane 15 actuating the latching device. The membrane 15 is biased in the direction of the pressure equalization chamber 15b by a diaphragm spring 17, wherein the Abschaltunterdruck the automatic shut-off is adjustable by the diaphragm spring 17.

Die Membran 15 ist mit einem Membrankäfig 18 mit Ausgleichsspiel verbunden, in dem die Verriegelungsrollen 16 lagern. Bei einer die Abschaltung auslösenden Bewegung der Membran in Richtung auf die Unterdruckkammer 15a, entgegen der Kraft der Membranfeder 17, zieht die Membran den Membrankäfig 18 quer zur Längsachse der Ventilspindel 6 heraus, so daß sich die Membranrollen 16 aus einer Quernut 5c der Zugstange 5 und einer Quernut 6a der Ventilspindel 6 herausbewegen. Eine Schließfeder 7, die die Ventilspindel 6 beaufschlagt, sorgt dann trotz gezogenem Betätigungshandgriff 4 dafür, daß sich die Ventilspindel 6 gegen die beiden Schließelemente 10, 11 des Abgabeventilkörpers legt und gegen den Strom des Zapfmediums dichtend an den Abgabeventilsitz 14 anlegt.The membrane 15 is connected to a diaphragm cage 18 with compensating clearance, in which the locking rollers 16 store. In a shutdown triggering movement of the membrane in the direction of the vacuum chamber 15a, against the force of the diaphragm spring 17, the diaphragm pulls out the diaphragm cage 18 transversely to the longitudinal axis of the valve stem 6, so that the membrane rollers 16 from a transverse groove 5c of the tie rod 5 and a transverse groove 6a of the valve stem 6 move out. A closing spring 7, which acts on the valve spindle 6, then ensures despite pulled operating handle 4 that the valve spindle 6 rests against the two closing elements 10, 11 of the dispensing valve body and against the flow of Zapfmediums sealingly against the dispensing valve seat 14.

Die Schließfeder 8 drückt die Zugstange 5 gegen einen Anschlag 6b, der in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung als ringförmige Dichtstelle ausgebildet ist. Beim Ziehen des Betätigungshandgriffs 4 besteht im Bereich der Verriegelungsrollen 16 zwischen Ventilspindel 6 und Zugstange 5 ein Spiel in axialer Richtung von etwa 0,5 mm, d.h. die Zugstange wird zuerst um ca. 0,5 mm bewegt, bevor auch die Ventilspindel bewegt wird, so daß im Bereich des Anschlags 6b bei Ziehen des Betätigungshandgriffs 4 ein Spalt von etwa 0,5 mm gebildet wird, durch den das Zapfmedium hindurchtreten kann. Durch Kalibrierung des genannten Axialspiels kann im Bereich des Anschlags eine Drosselstelle zur Erzielung einer kontrollierten Durchströmung gebildet werden.The closing spring 8 presses the pull rod 5 against a stop 6b, which is formed in a preferred embodiment as an annular sealing point. When pulling the actuating handle 4 is in the region of the locking rollers 16 between the valve stem 6 and pull rod 5 a play in the axial direction of about 0.5 mm, ie the pull rod is first moved by about 0.5 mm, before the valve spindle is moved, so that a gap of about 0.5 mm is formed in the region of the stop 6b when pulling the actuating handle 4, through which the dispensing medium can pass. By calibrating said axial clearance, a throttle point can be formed in the region of the stop to achieve a controlled flow.

Der Abgabeventilkörper ist in zwei Schließelemente 10, 11 unterteilt, von denen ein erstes Schließelement 11 mit dem Abgabeventilsitz 14 zusammenwirkt und fest mit einem von der Vollschlauchfeder 13 beaufschlagten Lagerschaft 13a verbunden ist. Das zweite Schließelement 10 ist in geringem Maße axial verschieblich auf dem Lagerschaft 13a gehalten (Fig. 7), wobei zwischen erstem und zweitem Schließelement 10, 11 eine Schließorganfeder 12 angeordnet ist, die bestrebt ist, die beiden Elemente in einem geringen gegenseitigen Abstand zu halten, so daß dazwischen ein Öffnungsspalt 10a gebildet wird, sofern dieser nicht durch eine oder beide der Schließfedern 7, 8 geschlossen wird (Betätigungshandgriff 4 losgelassen oder Abschaltautomatik ausgelöst).The dispensing valve body is subdivided into two closing elements 10, 11, of which a first closing element 11 cooperates with the dispensing valve seat 14 and is firmly connected to a bearing shaft 13a acted upon by the full-tube spring 13. The second closing element 10 is held axially displaceably on the bearing shaft 13a to a small extent ( Fig. 7 ), wherein between the first and second closing element 10, 11 a closing member spring 12 is arranged, which endeavors to keep the two elements in a small mutual distance, so that between an opening gap 10a is formed, if this is not by one or both of the closing springs 7, 8 is closed (operating handle 4 released or automatic shutdown triggered).

Beim Ziehen des drehbar an einer Lagerachse 1a am Gehäuse 1 gelagerten und mit Dichtung 21 abgedichteten Betätigungshandgriffs 4 greift ein Handhebelbolzen 4a an einer vorderen Flanke 5a der Längsnut 5b der Zugstange 5 ein und schiebt diese gemeinsam mit der Ventilspindel 6 zusammen mit den in einer Quernut 5c der Zugstange 5 lagernden Verriegelungsrollen 16 nach vom (in Fig. 2 nach links) und spannt somit die beiden Schließfedern 7, 8.When pulling the rotatably mounted on a bearing axis 1a on the housing 1 and sealed with seal 21 actuating handle 4 engages a hand lever pin 4a on a front edge 5a of the longitudinal groove 5b of the tie rod 5 and pushes them together with the valve stem 6 together with in a transverse groove 5c the tie rod 5 overlapping locking rollers 16 after (in Fig. 2 to the left) and thus biases the two closing springs 7, 8.

In einem ersten Schritt (Fig. 3) wird dabei lediglich die Zugstange 5 mit den Verriegelungsrollen 16 um das bereits genannte Maß von etwa 0,5 mm axial bewegt, bis die Verriegelungsrollen 16 an einer vorderen Flanke einer Quernut 6a der Ventilspindel 6 zum Anliegen kommen. Bei dieser Verlagerung wird die Zugstange 5 von dem Anschlag 6b an der Ventilspindel 6 abgehoben und dadurch die erste Abdichtung im Bereich des Anschlags 6b geöffnet.In a first step ( Fig. 3 ), only the pull rod 5 with the locking rollers 16 by the already mentioned measure of about 0.5 mm is axially moved until the locking rollers 16 come to rest on a front edge of a transverse groove 6a of the valve stem 6. During this displacement, the pull rod 5 is lifted off the stop 6b on the valve spindle 6, thereby opening the first seal in the region of the stop 6b.

In einem zweiten Schritt (Fig. 4) werden die Zugstange 5 und die Ventilspindel 6 gemeinsam axial weiterbewegt, so daß die Schließorganfeder 12 entlastet wird, bis das zweite Schließelement 10 an einer Anlage 11 a an dem Lagerschaft 13a anliegt, wobei sich das zweite Schließelement 10 von dem ersten Schließelement 11 abhebt und den Öffnungsspalt 10a bildet, so daß auch eine zweite Abdichtung geöffnet ist.In a second step ( Fig. 4 ), the pull rod 5 and the valve stem 6 are moved together axially, so that the closing organ spring 12 is relieved until the second closing element 10 abuts a system 11 a on the bearing shaft 13a, wherein the second closing element 10 lifts from the first closing element 11 and forms the opening gap 10a, so that a second seal is opened.

In dieser Phase ist die Kraft der Schließorganfeder 12, mit der diese das erste Schließelement 11 (nach rechts) gegen den Abgabeventilsitz 14 drückt, annähernd gleich groß wie die aufgrund des Förderdrucks des Zapfmediums auf das erste Schließelement 11 (nach links) einwirkende Axialkraft, so daß die Abdichtung im Bereich des Abgabeventilsitzes 14 abgeschwächt oder teilweise aufgehoben ist und das Zapfmedium mit einem geringen Mengenstrom zwischen Abgabeventilsitz 14 und erstem Schließelement 11 im Bereich 14a hindurchtreten kann. Dies ermöglicht ein genaues Dosieren des Zapfinediums bei der Abgabe in ein Behältnis ("centgenaues Tanken").In this phase, the force of the closing member spring 12, with which this presses the first closing element 11 (to the right) against the dispensing valve seat 14, approximately equal to the axial force acting on the first closing element 11 (to the left) due to the delivery pressure of the dispensing medium, so that the seal in the region of the dispensing valve seat 14 is weakened or partially released and the dispensing medium can pass with a small flow rate between the dispensing valve seat 14 and the first closing element 11 in the region 14a. This allows a precise metering of the Zapfinediums when dispensing into a container ("centgenaues refueling").

In einem dritten Schritt (Fig. 5) werden die Zugstange 5 und die Ventilspindel 6 zusammen mit den Verriegelungsrollen 16 axial weiterbewegt, wodurch die Schließfedern 7, 8 weiter gespannt werden und der Abgabeventilkörper 10, 11 vollständig von dem Abgabeventilsitz 14 abhebt.In a third step ( Fig. 5 ), the pull rod 5 and the valve spindle 6 are moved axially together with the locking rollers 16, whereby the closing springs 7, 8 are further tensioned and the dispensing valve body 10, 11 completely lifts off from the dispensing valve seat 14.

Wie Fig. 5 zeigt, wird dabei ein Spalt 14b gebildet, durch den das Zapfmedium mit hoher Strömungsgeschwindigkeit hindurchtritt, so daß in dem Spalt 14b ein erstes Niederdruckgebiet gebildet wird. Durch dieses Niederdruckgebiet wird ein Spülkreislauf angetrieben, der eintrittseitig durch einen über einem Teil des Umfangs des Lagergehäuses 9 verlaufenden Ringkanal 9c, der mit dem Zapfmedium in Verbindung steht, gebildet wird und sich über einen axialen Kanal, eine Spülkammerbohrung 9a, eine Filterstelle 9b, die durch einen Spalt zwischen dem Lagergehäuse 9 und der Ventilspindel 6 gebildet wird, und axial bis zu dem Anschlag 6b und dem Öffnungsspalt 10a fortsetzt.As Fig. 5 shows, a gap 14b is formed through which the dispensing medium passes at a high flow rate, so that in the gap 14b, a first low pressure area is formed. A flushing circuit is driven through this low-pressure area, which is formed on the inlet side by an over a part of the circumference of the bearing housing 9 extending annular channel 9c, which communicates with the dispensing medium, and an axial channel, a Spülkammerbohrung 9a, a filter point 9b, the is formed by a gap between the bearing housing 9 and the valve spindle 6, and continues axially up to the stop 6b and the opening gap 10a.

Gleichzeitig wird im Bereich eines dem Spalt 14b benachbarten Ringkanals 14d, an dem die zur Unterdruckkammer 15a führende Unterdruckleitung 1c mündet, ein zweites Niederdruckgebiet ausgebildet, welches über die Unterdruckleitung 1c, die Unterdruckkammer 15a, einen Ringkanal 9d, einen weiteren Ringkanal 3a und die Füllstandsfühlerleitung 3b mit der Umgebung verbunden ist, so daß sich hier normalerweise kein Unterdruck einstellt, sofern die Füllstandsfühlerleitung 3b nicht in Flüssigkeit eintaucht.At the same time, a second low-pressure region is formed in the region of an annular channel 14d adjacent to the gap 14b, at which the negative pressure line 1c leading to the vacuum chamber 15a opens, via the vacuum line 1c, the vacuum chamber 15a, an annular channel 9d, a further annular channel 3a and the fill level sensor line 3b is connected to the environment, so that normally no negative pressure sets here, unless the level sensor line 3b immersed in liquid.

Dadurch, daß in der vorstehend beschriebenen Weise Umgebungsluft durch die Füllstandsfühlerleitung 3b eingesaugt werden kann und im Bereich des Ringkanals 14d in das Zapfmedium eintritt, bildet sich ein Kräftegleichgewicht an der Membran 15 aus, nämlich bedingt durch die Druckverhältnisse oberhalb der Membran in der Unterdruckkammer 15a und unterhalb der Membran in der Druckausgleichskammer 15b sowie durch die vorgebbare Federkraft der Membranfeder 17.The fact that in the manner described above ambient air can be sucked through the level sensor line 3b and enters the dispensing medium in the region of the annular channel 14d, an equilibrium of forces on the membrane 15 is formed, namely due to the pressure conditions above the membrane in the vacuum chamber 15a and below the membrane in the pressure compensation chamber 15b and by the predetermined spring force of the diaphragm spring 17th

Sobald der Tank voll ist und das freie Ende der Füllstandsfühlerleitung 3b in flüssigen Kraftstoff eintaucht, wird keine Luft, sondern Kraftstoff durch die Füllstandsfühlerleitung 3b eingesaugt, und aufgrund der erheblichen Dichte- und Viskositätsunterschiede zwischen Luft und Kraftstoff kommt es zu einem Aufbau eines Unterdrucks innerhalb der Unterdruckkammer 15a aufgrund des zweiten Niederdruckgebiets im Bereich des Ringkanals 14d.As soon as the tank is full and the free end of the level sensor line 3b is immersed in liquid fuel, no air but fuel is sucked in through the level sensor line 3b, and due to the considerable differences in density and viscosity between air and fuel, a build-up of negative pressure occurs inside the tank Low pressure chamber 15a due to the second low pressure area in the region of the annular channel 14d.

Die Membran 15 wird nun entgegen der Rückstellkraft der Membranfeder 17 in Richtung auf die Unterdruckkammer 15a gezogen und zieht über den Membrankäfig 18 die Verriegelungsrollen 16 aus den Quernuten 5c, 6a von Zugstange 5 und Ventilspindel 6.The diaphragm 15 is now pulled against the restoring force of the diaphragm spring 17 in the direction of the vacuum chamber 15 a and pulls over the diaphragm cage 18, the locking rollers 16 from the transverse grooves 5 c, 6 a of pull rod 5 and valve spindle. 6

Die Schließfeder 7 sorgt dann trotz gezogenem Betätigungshandgriff 4 dafür, daß sich die Ventilspindel 6 (nach rechts) gegen den Abgabeventilkörper 10, 11 bewegt und diesen gegen den Dichtsitz 14 zur Anlage bringt, so daß der Strom des Zapfmediums unterbrochen wird. Dabei wird auch der Öffnungsspalt 10a gegen die Kraft der Schließorganfeder 12 geschlossen.The closing spring 7 then ensures despite pulled operating handle 4 that the valve stem 6 (to the right) moves against the dispensing valve body 10, 11 and this brings against the sealing seat 14 to the plant, so that the flow of the Zapfmediums is interrupted. In this case, the opening gap 10a is closed against the force of the closing member spring 12.

Die Dichtstelle im Bereich des Anschlags 6b schließt sich, wenn der Betätigungshandgriff 4 losgelassen wird und die Zugstange 5 durch die Schließfeder 8 in ihre Schließposition in Richtung auf den Abgabeventilsitz 14 bewegt wird.The sealing point in the region of the stop 6b closes when the actuating handle 4 is released and the pull rod 5 is moved by the closing spring 8 in its closed position in the direction of the dispensing valve seat 14.

Der innere Bereich des Spülkreislaufs ist durch die beiden Dichtstellen 6b und 10a, O-Ring 6e (Fig. 4) in einer Ringnut der Ventilspindel 6 zwischen dieser und dem Lagergehäuse 9 sowie O-Ringe 9f, 9g in Ringnuten im Lagergehäuse 9 zwischen diesem und dem Ventilgehäuse 1 trotz geöffneter Bohrung 9a abgedichtet. Wenn der Betätigungshandgriff 4 losgelassen wird, werden die Quernuten 5c, 6a wieder übereinandergebracht, wodurch die Verriegelungsrollen 16 unter der Wirkung der Membranfeder 17 wieder ihre Verriegelungsstellung einnehmen. Eine Verdrehung von Zugstange oder Ventilspindel wird durch Eingriff des Handhebelbolzens 4a in Längsnuten von Zugstange und Ventilspindel verhindert.The inner area of the flushing circuit is defined by the two sealing points 6b and 10a, O-ring 6e (FIG. Fig. 4 ) in an annular groove of the valve stem 6 between this and the bearing housing 9 and O-rings 9f, 9g sealed in annular grooves in the bearing housing 9 between this and the valve housing 1 despite open bore 9a. When the operating handle 4 is released, the transverse grooves 5c, 6a are superimposed again, whereby the locking rollers 16 again assume their locking position under the action of the diaphragm spring 17. A rotation of tie rod or valve stem is prevented by engagement of the hand lever pin 4a in longitudinal grooves of the tie rod and valve stem.

Wenn es beispielsweise durch Ausfall der Abgabepumpe zu einem Druckabfall stromauf des Abgabeventils kommt, ohne daß sich die Druckverhältnisse beiderseits der Membran 15 verändern und ohne daß der Betätigungshandgriff 4 losgelassen wird, sorgt die Vollschlauchfeder 13 dafür, daß der Abgabeventilkörper 10, 11 gegen den Abgabeventilsitz 14 zur Anlage kommt, so daß verhindert wird, daß sich der Schlauch entleert oder Luft eindringt (Fig. 6).If, for example, by failure of the discharge pump to a pressure drop upstream of the dispensing valve, without the pressure conditions change on both sides of the diaphragm 15 and without the operating handle 4 is released, the full tube spring 13 ensures that the dispensing valve body 10, 11 against the dispensing valve seat 14th comes to rest, so that it prevents the tube emptied or air penetrates ( Fig. 6 ).

Fig. 7 zeigt in vergrößertem Maßstab eine bevorzugte Ausführung des Abgabeventils mit Abgabeventilsitz 14 und Abgabeventilkörper 10, 11. Die Vollschlauchfeder 13 stützt sich an einem Anschlag 22, der über den Lagerschaft 13a fest mit dem ersten Schließelement 11 verbunden ist, ab und spannt den Abgabeventilkörper in Richtung auf den Abgabeventilsitz 14 vor, so daß die Vollschlauchdichtheit gewährleistet ist. Der Öffnungsspalt 10a zwischen den beiden Schließelementen 10, 11 ist deutlich zu erkennen. Fig. 7 shows in enlarged scale a preferred embodiment of the dispensing valve with dispensing valve seat 14 and dispensing valve body 10, 11. The full tube spring 13 is supported on a stopper 22 which is fixedly connected to the first closing element 11 via the bearing shaft 13a and biases the dispensing valve body in the direction the discharge valve seat 14, so that the full hose tightness is ensured. The opening gap 10a between the two closing elements 10, 11 can be clearly seen.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine Variante des Abgabeventils, die ebenfalls die genannte Funktion der Vollschlauchdichtheit gewährleistet. Die Vollschlauchfeder 13 stützt sich am Anschlag 22 ab, der sich am Lagerschaft 13a befindet, der wiederum mit dem zweiten Schließelement 10 fest verbunden ist. Die Feder 12 bewirkt im unbelasteten Zustand die Bildung des Öffnungsspalts 10a. Fig. 8 shows a variant of the dispensing valve, which also ensures the said function of full hose tightness. The full hose spring 13 is supported on the stop 22, which is located on the bearing shaft 13 a, which in turn is firmly connected to the second closing element 10. The spring 12 causes the formation of the opening gap 10a in the unloaded state.

Wie beispielsweise Fig. 1 und 2 erkennen lassen, verfügt das erfindungsgemäße Zapfventil über eine integrierte Tropfensammlerkammer 25, die in einer Einhängeposition des Zapfventils, in der das Auslaufrohr 3 nach oben weist, äußerlich an dem Auslaufrohr anhaftendes Zapfmedium sammelt und bei einem anschließenden Zapfvorgang durch eine Engstelle 3c dosiert wieder abgibt.Like for example Fig. 1 and 2 can be seen, the dispensing valve according to the invention has an integrated drop collecting chamber 25 which collects in a mounting position of the dispensing valve, in which the outlet pipe 3 is facing upwards, externally attached to the outlet pipe tap medium and dosed in a subsequent tapping by a constriction 3c again.

Aus Fig. 1 geht weiter hervor, daß der Betätigungshandgriff 4 an seinem freien Ende mit einer Aufhalteeinrichtung zusammenwirken kann, die einen schwenkbaren Rasthebel 23 mit zwei Rastpositionen 23c und 23d aufweist. Durch Druck auf ein unteres Ende des Rasthebels bei 23b wird dieser im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, so daß ein Querbolzen 4b des Betätigungshandgriffs 4 in eine der Rastpositionen 23c, 23d einrasten kann. Dabei wird eine Feder 23a gespannt, deren Rückstellkraft geringer ist als die durch die beiden Schließfedern 7, 8 erzeugte Rückstellkraft, so daß die Aufhalteeinrichtung bei Auslösen der Abschaltautomatik überwunden wird.Out Fig. 1 goes on show that the actuating handle 4 can cooperate at its free end with a holding device having a pivotable locking lever 23 with two locking positions 23c and 23d. By pressure on a lower end of the locking lever at 23b this is pivoted counterclockwise, so that a cross bolt 4b of the operating handle 4 in one of the locking positions 23c, 23d can engage. In this case, a spring 23a is tensioned, the restoring force is less than the restoring force generated by the two closing springs 7, 8, so that the holding device is overcome upon triggering the automatic shutdown.

Fig. 2 zeigt, daß zwischen der Unterdruckkammer 15a und der Füllstandsfühlerleitung 3b ein Sicherheitsventil 19 angeordnet ist, dessen Ventilkörper 19a (Kugel, sowohl in Öffnungs- als auch in Schließstellung dargestellt) in einer nach oben weisenden Stellung des Abgaberohrs 3 schwerkraftbedingt selbsttätig schließt. Fig. 2 shows that between the vacuum chamber 15a and the level sensor line 3b, a safety valve 19 is arranged, the valve body 19a (ball, both open and closed position shown) in an upwardly facing position of the discharge pipe 3 by gravity automatically closes.
