Filling nozzle support structure

A filling nozzle support structure including a swivel joint interposed between a filling nozzle and a filling hose that connects the filling nozzle and a gas supply pipe of a dispenser, said swivel joint comprising:

• a nozzle side member communicating with the filling nozzle side;
• and
• a dispenser side member communicating with the dispenser side;
• wherein said nozzle side member and said dispenser side member are relatively rotatable with each other, and a high-pressure gas flow path formed in the nozzle side member and a high-pressure gas flow path formed in the dispenser side member are orthogonal to each other;
• and
• wherein one end of said swivel joint is connected to said filling nozzle and rotatably supports said filling nozzle, and the other end of said swivel joint is connected to said filling hose, and when said filling nozzle is coupled and fixed to a receptacle, said filling hose in the vicinity of said filling nozzle does not bend at a sharp angle, and an elastic rebound force is reduced, thereby preventing a situation where the elastic rebound force of said filling hose in the vicinity of said filling nozzle acts on a connection part between said receptacle and said filling nozzle to impede detachment of said filling nozzle from said receptacle.
