Abstract:

A gasoline vapor treating system includes a single hydrocarbon filter apparatus interconnected to a fuel tank having a range of vapor pressures therein, said filter apparatus receiving hydrocarbon vapors from said tank for one vapor pressure in said fuel tank and said filter apparatus delivering air and hydrocarbon vapor to said tank from said filter responsive to another vapor pressure in said tank lower than said one vapor pressure, said filter operated serially between hydrocarbon loading and hydrocarbon unloading cycles without reference to any other hydrocarbon removal apparatus. A balance nozzle includes a mechanism to mechanically operate a vapor valve therein before the fuel valve is opened.

International Classification:

B67D 7/36
B67D 7/48

US Classification:

141206, 141 59, 137205

Abstract:

A nozzle system including a nozzle body configured to dispense fuel through a fuel path thereof into a vehicle tank. The nozzle body includes a vapor path configured such that vapor recovered from the vehicle tank during refueling is passable therethrough. The nozzle system further includes a main vapor valve positioned in the vapor path and configured to selectively block the vapor path. The main vapor valve is movable to a position wherein the main vapor valve does not block the vapor path. The nozzle system further includes a relief valve in fluid communication with the vapor path. The relief valve is configured to open to allow ambient air to enter into the vapor path when sufficiently low pressure is present in the vapor path, and the relief valve is generally aligned with the main vapor valve.

Abstract:

A nozzle for dispensing fluid including a nozzle body having a fluid path which is configured to receive fluid therein and a vapor path which is configured to receive vapor therein. The nozzle further includes a main fluid valve positioned in the fluid path to control a flow of fluid therethrough, the main fluid valve including a main fluid valve spring configured to bias the main fluid valve to one of its open or closed positions. The nozzle further has a main vapor valve positioned in the vapor path to control a flow of vapor therethrough. The main vapor valve includes a main vapor valve spring configured to bias the main vapor valve to one of its open or closed positions. At least part of the main fluid valve spring or the main vapor valve spring is positioned within the other one.

International Classification:

B65B 1/30

US Classification:

141206000

Abstract:

A sliding stem seal assembly for a fluid dispenser. In one embodiment, an insertable module retains a stem seal and a housing seal even when disengaged from the housing of the dispenser. The module isolates the stem seal from the housing such that it contacts the stem and a low friction surface of the module, and the module also isolates the housing seal from movement of the stem, for reduced wear from the housing and the moving stem.

International Classification:

G05D 1608

US Classification:

13750541

Abstract:

A sanitary pressure regulator comprises a pressure sensing chamber, downstream of an orifice, has its upper portion defined by a diaphragm. A valve stem, mounted on the diaphragm, extends downwardly through the orifice and has a plug disposed on the upstream side of the orifice. A valve spring, is disposed in a spring housing and acts through a lower spring retainer to yieldingly resist movement of the valve plug to a position which would restrict fluid flow. The spring housing, compression spring and lower retainer form a unit which can be mounted on and detached from a passage housing. The valve stem is mounted on the diaphragm by a nut which is threaded onto a portion of the stem which projects above the diaphragm. Provision is made to lock the valve stem in an open position to facilitate the use of high pressure fluid in cleaning the regulator. In an alternate embodiment, the valve stem is axially fixed relative to the lower spring retainer and a disc engages the lower surface of the diaphragm.
