Multi-use Gasoline/Fuel Pouring Nozzle ABSTRACT This invention is a gasoline/fuel pouring nozzle apparatus for attachment to various vented gasoline/fuel containers having incorporated a removable base, an in-line fingertip controlled ball valve, and a removable closure key cap. The nozzle may be designed using rigid plastic or with a flexible, accordion-like, snap-lock, segmented portion, intermediately conformed, to permit bending of the nozzle as the liquid is poured. The removable base incorporates a filter which serves to strain the passing fluid and a gasket to provide a universal sealing mechanism. It works with vented gasoline/fuel containers, cooperating in such a way that the container's existing screw cap is utilized for the attachment of the nozzle to the container. To allow for storage and/or transportation, the nozzle can be inverted and stored internally within vented gasoline/fuel containers followed thereafter by the removable closure key cap and screw cap accordingly. Additional base attachments can be provided so that the nozzle can be adapted to fit numerous other types of containers. The ball valve is seated in fluid-tight relation between two rubber "O" rings, positioned near the base end portion of the nozzle. The ball valve enables variable flow rate control from a closed to an unimpeded open position. The removable closure key cap is a three-fold multifunctional mechanism which serves as a valve key for the operation of the ball valve. Upon insertion of the removable closure key cap into the valve receptacle, the superimposed fluid flow passage through the ball valve may be opened, closed, or set at variable positions in-between by fingertip rotation of the valve key in a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion. Furthermore, the removable closure key cap serves as the closure cap of the pouring nozzle and the container when the nozzle is internally stored. The mechanism further serves as a grit cover that fits onto the narrowed tip section of the nozzle when the nozzle is assembled externally. -1-
