The present invention relates to a nozzle particularly adapted for dispensing gasoline from a pump into a tank of an automobile or the like but, of course, the nozzle is in no '5 way limited to this particular use.

The prime object of the invention resides in the provision of a nozzle of this character having incorporated therein a Avalve which may be readily and quickly opened or closed by a movement. of the nozzle as the same is in use.

Another very important object of the invention resides in .the provision of a dispensing nozzle of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, compact and convenient in its arrangement of parts, thoroughly etlicient and reliable in operation, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

Vith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a. side elevation of the dispensing nozzle showing the same in use,

Figure 2 is a persective view of the valve assembly,

Figure f 3 is a transverse sectional view through the nozzle pipe and valve stem taken substantially on the line 3 3 of Figure 4, 35V Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional View through the nozzle,

Figures 5, 6 and 7 are detail sectional views taken respectively on the lines 5, 6 6 and 7 7 of Figure 4, and

Figure 8 isv al detail longitudinal section' through the outlet end of the nozzle pipe.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the letter P denotes a gasoline dispensing pump from which the outlet hose 45 H extends and on the end of this hose is a nozzle N andmy invention resides in this nozzle which will be now described in detail.

The numeral 5 denotes the tubular body of the nozzle having a bore 6 formed therein 50; leading inwardly from one end and being re- 1930. A' semi No. 433,419.

duced and offset in an extension 7. A valve seat shoulder 8 is thereby formed at the juncture of the extension 7 with the bore 6. A cap 9 is threaded on said one end of the body 5 and is coupled with the hose H by suitable means 10. A nozzlepipe 11 has one end eX- tended in the outer end of the extension 7 and extends therefrom terminating in an angular extension 12 which may be either rigid or flexible. Y

A plate 14 is slidable on the pipe 11 and is connected with the outer end of the valve stem 15 which is slidable through the body 5 alongside of the bore 7 and on its inner end has a valve 16 seatable on the valve seat shoulder 8; A spring 17 is disposed about the valve stem 16 and iinpinges against a stuiiing box structure 18 in said other end of the body 5 and about the stem 15 and the spring also impinges against a pin or the like 19 in the valve stem 15 to normally hold the valve 16 closed against the 'seat 8.

By referring to Figure 1 it will be seen that the letter T denotes a tank with a neck rising therefrom. The tank, of course, is illustrated merely to bring out more clearlyv the operation ofthe invention.

The end 12 of the nozzle pipe 11 is inserted in the neck Avand then by pushing the nozzle to the right with the plate l14 against the outside of the neck it will be seen that the valve 16 may be unseated thereby allowing the gasoline to flow into the tank and this VrHow of gasoline maybe stopped at any time merely by moving the nozzle to the left as illustrated in this figure.

In the outer end of the extension 12 there' is preferably a pair of oppositely disposed fins 20 which prevent the whirling of 'the gasoline and thereby eleminating the splashing and the like as the gasoline is poured into the tank.

It is thought that the construction, operation, utility and advantages of the Yinvention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in the art vwithout a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the'invention has been disclosed in considerable detail y merely for the purposes of exempliication since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may beresorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacriicing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A nozzle structure of the class described comprising an elongated tubular body having one end portion reduced and offset to provide an offset and reduced bore, a valve seat shoulder formed at the ventrance of the reduced bore, a valve seatable against the valve seat shoulder, and having a stem slidable longitudinally `through one wall of the reduced end portion, spring means on the stem normally holding the valve closed, a pipe protruding from the end of the reduced portion, and means on the valve stem for opening the valve, said means comprising a disk having an eccentric hole therein to mount it slidably on the pipe.

2. A nozzle structure of the class described comprising an elongated tubular body havin g a reduced and offset end portion provided with a reduced odset bore communicating with the interior of the tubular body, a valve seat shoulder formed at the entrance of said reduced offset bore, a valve seatable against the valve seat shoulder and having a stem slidable longitudinally through one wall of the reduced end portion, spring means on the stem, abutting the end of the reduced portion and a stop member on the stem, normally holding the valve closed, a pipe protruding from the end of the reduced portion, a disk on the outer end of the valve stem having an eccentric hole to permit it to be slidably mounted on the pipe, to open the valve.

3. A nozzle structure of the class described comprising an elongated tubular body having an end portion thereof reduced and offset to provide a reduced and offset bore communieating' With the interior of the tubular body, a valve seat shoulder formed between the reduced and offset bores and said interior, a valve seatable against the valve seat shoulder and having its stem slidable longitudinally through the wall of the reduced offset end portion, spring means on the stem normally holding the valve closed, a disk having an eccentric aperture for mounting it on the outside of a pipe extending from said reduced and offset end portion and communicating With the reduced bore therein, said disk being slidable on said pipe, to carry the portion of the stem exterior of the tubular body.

4. nozzle structure of the class described comprising an elongated tubular body havlng an end portion thereof reduced and odset to provide a reduced and oflset bore communicating with the interior of the tubular body, a valve seat shoulder formed between the reduced bore and said interior, a valve seatable against the valve seat shoulder and having a stem longitudinally slidable through one wall of the reduced offset portion, spring means on the stem normally holding the valve closed, a disk on the outer end of the valve stem, a pipe extending from the reduced end portion in communication with the reduced bore, said disk being slidable on said pipe, said pipe having an extension in the end of which is a pair of diametrically oppositely disposed fins, said iins comprising thin fiat plates extended transversely from the interior of the pipe adjacent the ends thereof.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

CARL G. ABBOTT.
