Abstract
This invention relates to a kit of parts that can include top plates, gable cover plates, gable structures each comprising a nozzle boot, side cover plates, and side structures each comprising a nozzle boot. The kit of parts is suitable for assembling a nozzle module according to any one of three configurations. The invention also relates to a fuel dispensing unit for refueling vehicles.
Claims17
A method of assembling a nozzle module of a fuel dispensing unit, comprising:
- selecting a top component from a plurality of top components that comprise a first top plate and a second top plate, the second top plate being greater in size than the first top plate;
- selecting a first end component from a plurality of end components that comprise at least one gable cover plate and at least one gable structure having a nozzle boot therein configured to seat a fuel dispensing nozzle;
- selecting a second end component from the plurality of end components;
- selecting at least two side components from a plurality of side structures, the plurality of side structures comprise at least one side cover plate and at least one side structure having a nozzle boot therein configured to seat a fuel dispensing nozzle;
- and
- assembling the selected components to mate the top component to the first and second end components and to the at least two side components to form a nozzle module for use in a fuel dispensing unit.
A method of assembling a nozzle module of a fuel dispensing unit, comprising:
- providing a kit of parts comprising at least one gable cover plate, at least one gable structure comprising a nozzle boot, at least one side cover plate, at least one side structure comprising a nozzle boot, and at least one top plate;
- assembling selected components from the kit of parts to form a first nozzle module of the fuel dispensing unit having one of the top plates mated at a first edge to a first one of the at least one side cover plate and the at least one side structure, mated at a second edge opposite to the first edge to a second one of the at least one side cover plate and the at least one side structure, mated at a third edge to a first one of the at least one gable cover plate and the at least one gable structure, and mated at a fourth edge opposite to the third edge to a second one of the at least one gable cover plate and the at least one gable structure.
