Abstract
Provided is a pressure reducing tilt nozzle that includes a body defining a cavity having an inlet and an outlet, and a piston disposed in the cavity. The piston is biased in a first piston position away from the inlet allowing flow through the inlet and is movable toward the inlet to a second piston position preventing flow through the inlet when pressure in the cavity overcomes a biasing force biasing the piston in the first piston position.
Claims20
A pressure reducing tilt nozzle comprising:
- a body defining a cavity having an inlet and an outlet;
- a piston disposed in the cavity and biased in a first piston position away from the inlet allowing flow through the inlet, the piston being movable toward the inlet to a second piston position preventing flow through the inlet when pressure in the cavity overcomes a biasing force biasing the piston in the first piston position;
- and
- a spindle having a first end disposed in the cavity and a second end, the spindle being biased in a first spindle position toward the outlet preventing flow through the outlet and being movable to a second spindle position allowing flow through the outlet thereby reducing the pressure in the cavity such that the piston moves to the first piston position.

A pressure reducing tilt nozzle comprising:
- a piston pressure regulator including:
- a body having a first portion and a second portion defining a cylinder, the first portion having an inlet configured to be in fluid communication with a source of pressurized gas and the second portion having an outlet;
- a piston slideable within the cylinder and including a first end, a second end, and a fluid passageway, the first end forming with the body a first pressure chamber and the second end forming with the body a second pressure chamber, the first and second pressure chambers being in fluid communication through the axial fluid passageway;
- and
- a first spring disposed between the piston and the first portion of the body;
- and
- a spindle including:
- a spindle rod having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the spindle rod extending through the outlet and being tiltingly responsive to a lateral force on the spindle rod applied by a use;
- and
- a disk coupled to the proximal end of the spindle rod, the disk including a first side forming a spring seat and a second side configured to seal to the outlet, the disk being biased toward the outlet to seal to the outlet.
- wherein when a force is applied to the distal end of the spindle rod to tilt the spindle rod and the disk out of sealing contact with the outlet, a gas is dispensed through the outlet from the source of pressurized gas.
8 more elements
A pressure reducing tilt nozzle comprising:
- a body defining a cavity having an inlet and an outlet;
- a piston movable within the cavity and configured to divide the cavity into at least a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber, the piston including a fluid passageway that fluidly connects the first pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber;
- a first spring disposed in the cavity between the body and the piston to bias the piston away from the inlet;
- a nozzle assembly movable between a first position sealing the nozzle assembly against the outlet and a second position unsealing the nozzle assembly from the outlet;
- and
- a second spring disposed in the cavity between the piston and the nozzle assembly to bias the nozzle assembly in the first position,
- wherein a biasing force of the first spring is greater than a biasing force of the second spring.
