Abstract

LIQUID DISPENSING NOZZLE WITH ANTI-DRIP VALVE A liquid dispensing nozzle comprises a housing with a handle portion defining an inlet and a cross portion defining an outlet, where the cross portion extends transversely to the handle portion and the housing defines a liquid passage between the inlet and outlet. A primary valve is located in the handle portion and can be actuated between an open and a closed position. A secondary valve located in the housing is positioned downstream of the primary valve and can operate between an open and a closed position. The secondary valve comprises a shaft fixedly retained in the cross portion of the housing, a valve seal movable along the shaft, and a spring arranged to compress the valve seal toward the closed position.
