ABSTRACT:
A fueling arm without the need for any hoses which can be connected to a supply line, particularly for tank cars and aircraft fueling, is disposed in a chute. To assure effortless handling and reduce fueling time, the fueling arm includes at least eight pipe sections which are connected by swivel joints, wherein at one end of a first pipe section there is a first of the swivel joints. The axes of rotation of the first and of successive second and third swivel joints are parallel. The first swivel joint can be connected to a supply line and the third swivel joint is guided in a direction of movement thereof. A headpiece with a filler-neck coupling thereon is connected by a fourth swivel joint to a second of the pipe sections which is also connected to the third swivel joint. The headpiece has a line which includes five of the pipe sections and, of the five swivel joints connected to the line, three have parallel axes of rotation and the remaining two have axes perpendicular to the axes of the other three.
