ABSTRACT:
A fuel pouring nozzle for use on vented fuel containers has a base adapted to be attached to a vented fuel container. The base has an end portion at a first end, a downstream end at a second end and a radially extending circumferential ridge situated on the end portion. There is a tubular valve body having a cylindrical side wall with an opening therein, an upstream end having a valve seat and a downstream end having a female threaded portion. A tubular conduit is connected to the upstream end of the valve body and the downstream end of the base. A first O-ring is fitted to the valve seat and faces the downstream end of the valve body. A second O-ring is fitted about the opening in the side wall inside the valve body. A ball valve is positioned in the valve body against both O-rings. The ball valve has a stem extending through the opening in the side wall and is rotatable about a longitudinal axis through the stem. There is handle exterior to the valve body and connected to the stem of the ball valve. A tubular member has an upstream end with a male threaded portion engaging the female threaded portion of the valve body, an accordion-like, snap-lock, segmented portion attached to the male threaded portion and a narrowed, rigid tubular section connected to the segmented portion and forming a spout. There is a closure cap having a protrusion on one side which releasably fits with the base to seal the nozzle and has a slot to releasably engage the handle on the ball valve so the cap acts as a knob to open and close the valve.
