Modularized components assembled fluid dispensing nozzle
First Claim
1. A modularized components assembled dispensing nozzle, including a nozzle housing body, said housing body having a flow path therethrough for the flow of fluid for dispensing to a vehicle or fluid accepting container, a housing body having connecting means at its backend, for attachment of the dispensing hose thereto, the front of the housing body having a spout connected therewith, for delivery of fluid through the spout and into the fill pipe of a vehicle or fluid accepting container, a poppet valve assembly for the dispensing nozzle, an automatic shutoff assembly for the dispensing nozzle, the poppet valve assembly providing for opening of the flow path for allowing fluid to flow through the nozzle for delivery, the automatic shutoff assembly providing for the automatic shutoff of the poppet valve when the fluid tank is filled with delivered fluid, and one of said poppet valve assembly and automatic shutoff assembly being modularized to provide for the entire assembly to be delivered into the nozzle body for installation, or to provide for its removal and replacement during servicing.

Abstract
Modularized components assembled dispensing nozzle, including operating components in the category of a poppet valve assembly, an automatic shutoff device, a hand operating lever for providing a turn on or shutoff of the dispensing of fluid through the nozzle, and a connected spout that delivers fluid to the fill pipe and fuel tank for a vehicle or fluid accepting container. Each of the identified components having been redesigned for assembly in modularized form, such as a modular cartridge for the poppet valve, a modular cartridge for the automatic shutoff device, a modularized operating hand lever, and a spout and its gland and retaining nut that provide for high speed interconnection with the nozzle body, during assembly, or servicing. Each of these modularized components can be installed, during assembly of the manufactured nozzle, or can be replaced, out in the field, by a service person, as a modularized component or cartridge assembly.
