Abstract
A portable fluid dispensing system, such as for the transfer of fuel to a vehicle fuel tank, that is convenient and safe. The system hereof includes a closed fluid containing chamber, having access means for fitting the chamber, air relief means, and a quantity regulating dispensing mechanism. The quantity regulating dispensing mechanism includes a pair of concentric tubular members, rotatable relative to one another, where such members feature a series of apertures or ports that may be aligned, through rotation of one of the members, to control the quantity of fluid to be dispensed at any given time, such as in increments of gallons.
Claims9
A portable fluid dispensing system for the rapid transfer of fluid from a first location to a second location, the system comprising a closed fluid containing chamber consisting of a top wall, bottom wall and side wall, with means to fill said chamber with said fluid, means for transferring fluid therefrom, and air relief means to access air to displace the transferred fluid;
- a.) said transfer means comprising a circular spout of a first diameter extending through said top wall in fluid communication with one of a pair of concentric tubular members axially disposed within said chamber having distal ends in communication with said fluid, where said concentric tubular members are adapted to rotate relative to one another, the outer of said concentric tubular member having at least a first, second and third aligned ports along its length, with the inner of said concentric tubular member having a single complementary port aligned with said first port, a pair of complementary ports aligned with said second port, and three complementary ports aligned with said third port, whereby said tubular members may be rotated to align and open selected ports;
- and,
- b.) said air relief means comprising a valve automatically closeable during a fluid non-transfer mode.
