A liquid delivery nozzle to be used in gasoline stations comprising two pairs of light sensor in which the first pair arranged at the tip end of the nozzle is of reflection type and the second pair arranged a little higher up from said first pair is of usual contact type, for more relevantly coping with full tank delivery. The sensors are mounted in a casing which is to be mounted on the nozzle inner wall surface near the tip end. In order to prevent leads extending through said nozzle and a hose connected therewith for angular movement from being damaged due to such angular movement, a flexible sheet on which leads are printed or embedded, has a part wound to form several spiral turns. The sheet is arranged in the portion where angular movement occurs to cope with such movement by loosening or tightening of the spiral turns.

Liquid delivery nozzle

An apparatus for dispensing a liquid, for instance gasoline and the like fuel to vehicles, especially in the manner of the so-called 'full tank dispensation', includes a dispensing nozzle with a liquid level sensor at the tip end thereof and a circuit for receiving signals from the level sensor to control flow-out of fuel from the nozzle, the circuit issuing a signal to stop the flow-out in response to receipt of a fuel detection signal from the level sensor after a predetermined time period has lapsed, issuing another signal to recommence the flow-out and if it receives from the level sensor a signal indicating the absence of fuel.
