Abstract
A nozzle module for a fuel dispensing unit is described. The nozzle module has a top section attachable to a column module of the fuel dispensing unit, a bottom section attachable to a base module of the fuel dispensing unit, at least one nozzle boot for holding a nozzle, which nozzle boot is arranged between the top section and the bottom section. The nozzle module has an internal channel enabling fluid communication through the nozzle module. A fuel dispensing unit is also described.
Claims14
A fuel dispensing unit, comprising:
- a housing having a base section, a top section, and at least one nozzle module disposed between the base section and the top section, the at least one nozzle module having an internal channel having opposite open ends, the internal channel extending therethrough between a top surface of the nozzle module and a bottom surface of the nozzle module, the internal channel enabling fluid communication from the base section to the top section of the housing, the base section having an opening formed in a top surface thereof, the opening being in communication with the open ends of the internal channel;
- and
- a tubular member coupled to the top section of the housing and configured to receive fuel delivered from the base section through the internal channel, and to deliver the fuel to a nozzle at a terminal end of the tubular member.
A fuel dispensing unit, comprising:
- a base section;
- a nozzle module arranged on top of the base section, the nozzle module having a nozzle boot formed therein;
- a column module arranged on top of the nozzle module;
- a top section arranged on top of the column module;
- and
- a tubular member having a first end coupled to the top section and a second end having a nozzle disposed thereon and configured to be received within the nozzle boot;
- wherein a fluid lumen extends from the base section, through an internal channel extending from a bottom of the nozzle module to a top of the nozzle module, through the column module, and through the top section to connect to the tubular member and thereby allow fuel to be delivered to the nozzle on the end of the tubular member.
