Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of a safety nozzle and safety valve for portable gasoline containers are provided. A safety nozzle for a container can be provided, including a proximal end configured for placement in a safety valve, a distal end having a spout, a housing having an elongated portion extending from the proximal end to the distal end, a sliding bezel extending from an exterior of the housing to a sliding piston in an interior of the housing, a piston head having a first end at the proximal end and a second end for abutment with the sliding piston in the interior of the housing, and a retaining spring configured to maintain a holding pressure on the sliding piston to maintain the piston head in a closed position preventing liquid flow from the proximal end into the housing.
Claims16
A safety nozzle comprising:
- a housing including a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end including a piston seat and the distal end including a first portion of a breather tube;
- a sliding bezel, the sliding bezel capable of sliding along an exterior portion of the housing from a first position to a second position;
- a sliding piston, the sliding piston capable of sliding along an interior portion of the housing, the sliding piston being connected to the sliding bezel via a slot through the housing, the sliding piston including a piston head and a hollow support stem,
- wherein the first portion of the breather tube extends from the distal end of the housing to the hollow support stem and a second portion of the breather tube continues through the hollow support stem, the first portion of the breather tube and the second portion of the breather tube configured to allow air to flow from the distal end of the housing to the proximal end of the housing.
