ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a headpiece (01) for movable or fixed-position fueling systems (02) having a coupling member (03) for connection to a tank, in which multiple rigid pipe segments (06, 09, 12, 15, 18, 21, 22) are provided and in which the pipe segments (06, 09, 12, 15, 18, 21, 22) are attached to multiple swivel joints (04, 07, 10, 13, 16, 19) for adjustable spatial arrangement of the refueling coupling, and in which at least a first swivel joint (04) is able to swivel about a horizontal swivel axis (05) to enable adjustment of the height of the refueling coupling, and in which the first swivel joint (04) is attached to a directly adjacent second swivel joint (07) via a first rigid pipe segment (06), in which the second swivel joint (07) can also be swiveled about a horizontal swivel axis (08).
