Integral tilted poppet valve for controlled flow of fuel from fuel dispensing nozzle

A poppet valve accessory for use with a fuel dispensing nozzle of the type having a lever for manipulation during fuel dispensing, and for delivery of fuel to a vehicle, said accessory including a poppet stem, a poppet holder, a poppet seal disc within said poppet holder, and a body cap for the poppet accessory when installed within the nozzle, and a body cap and main spring for use for normally biasing the poppet seal disc against the nozzle valve seat when said fuel nozzle is closed to prevent dispensing of fuel through the nozzle;

• a poppet skirt provided within said poppet valve accessory and arranged in alignment with the poppet accessory and said skirt connecting to the top of said poppet stem which when the nozzle lever is actuated, said poppet skirt is lifted and elevates the poppet seal disc off of the nozzle valve seat to initiate the delivery of fuel to a vehicle;
• said poppet skirt having a main body portion, said body portion having a central cavity provided therein and opened at the bottom of said poppet skirt, and closed at the top of said poppet skirt, wherein said poppet stem fits within the poppet skirt cavity during assembly of said accessory in preparation for usage;
• and
• an integral flange provided extending from the main body portion of said poppet skirt and having a diameter greater than the diameter of said main body portion, and said flange having an upper surface, said upper surface being an inclined surface so that as the poppet skirt contacts the poppet seal disc upon actuation of the nozzle lever for delivery of fuel from the nozzle, the poppet skirt inclined flange surface initially lifts an edge of the poppet seal disc off of the nozzle valve seat to provide an initial reduced flow of fuel for dispensing from the nozzle during operation.
