Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for handling of a hose according to the preamble to the respective independent claims, see US-B1-6 334 457 .
  • the invention also concerns a fuel delivery unit, such as a fuel or petrol pump, provided with such a device.
  • a fuel pump or petrol pump typically comprises a pump part standing on the ground, a display part positioned above the pump part and showing the chosen type of fuel, such as petrol or diesel, cash readout, volume readout etc, and a column to which one or more fuel hoses are connected.
  • the driver parks the vehicle beside the fuel pump and opens the cover or cap of the vehicle's fuel tank. Then the driver selects the desired type of fuel or petrol and places the nozzle mounted at the end of the hose in the inlet of the vehicle's tank and puts in the desired volume of fuel.
  • charge card payment In some types of payment procedures, it is necessary to pay before filling-up can be started. For instance, charge card payment must in most cases be initiated by means of a card and code in an associated terminal before the pump is activated.
  • a difficulty that may arise in connection with filling-up is that the hose does not reach to the vehicle if parked a distance from the petrol pump.
  • the reason why the vehicle has not been parked sufficiently close to the pump may be difficulty in manoeuvring owing to a limited space round the petrol pump. It may also happen that the vehicle is first parked at a terminal for charge card payment. In that case the hose is usually not long enough and the driver must move the vehicle once more, which is time-consuming, so that it stands close to the petrol pump. To allow the hose to reach to the vehicle, it is usually necessary for the driver to park his vehicle so that the side of the vehicle where the filler cap is positioned faces the petrol pump.
  • One way of facilitating access to the petrol pump is to provide it with a longer hose. This may, however, cause problems since a longer hose may tend to land on the ground when not used and thus get stuck in or be damaged by passing cars or other vehicles. To prevent this, the column may be provided with some kind of returning mechanism for the hose.
  • a fuel pump with automatic return of the hose to the column is disclosed in EP-A1-0 379 742 .
  • the hose extends in the column round a number of stationary small rolls and round a spring-loaded wheel which is vertically movable.
  • the hose is fixed to the ceiling of the column at the rear side and is passed along the rear side down and round the wheel. From the wheel the hose is passed upwards at the front side to the rolls and then over the rolls to the rear side of the column.
  • the hose is hanging freely down from the rolls and has thus been made to extend one turn in the column.
  • the spring load causes the hose to be pulled into the column after use, but also acts in a counteracting manner when pulling out the hose.
  • the counteracting effect gives the drawback that it will be heavy work to pull out the hose, and it is therefore common that a driver does not utilise the advantages of a longer hose in terms of parking the vehicle further away from or on an optional side of the petrol pump. If the spring load is reduced for the purpose of reducing the counteracting force, the hose will not be pulled in just as efficiently and risks remaining outside the column after use.
  • EP-B1-0 255 979 A further example of such a construction is disclosed in EP-B1-0 255 979 , which however also suffers from the above drawbacks as to returning action and counteracting force.
  • NL-A-8 403 718 One more example of a similar construction is disclosed is NL-A-8 403 718 .
  • the construction comprises a vertically movable, spring-loaded wheel and a fixedly mounted wheel round which wheels the hose extends inside the column.
  • the hose is fixed to the ceiling of the column and is passed along the rear side of the column down and round the movable wheel. From there the hose is passed up along the front side to the fixedly mounted wheel and then over the fixedly mounted wheel to the rear side of the column.
  • the hose is hanging freely down from the fixedly mounted wheel and has thus been made to extend one turn in the column. Similar to the above constructions, also this one suffers from corresponding problems as to returning action and counteracting force.
  • the device comprises a hose returning means having a rocker unit which, to allow pulling out and returning of the hose, is pivotable relative to a hose storage space.
  • the rocker unit comprises a hose supporting part and the unit is pivoted out of the storage space when the hose is pulled.
  • a drawback of this device is that the rocker unit protrudes out of the hose storage space during use, which is detrimental out of an aesthetic point of view as well as due to safety aspects.
  • the safety aspects concern the fact that the rocker unit may be damaged or may damage or injure something or someone coming in its way.
  • there is a risk that the hose is pulled sideways to such an extent that the rocker unit will not be able to return smoothly into the hose storage space.
  • hose handling device is disclosed by the applicant in the Swedish patent application No. 0200224-4 , which device facilitates sideways pulling out of the hose.
  • the device comprises an annular guiding element encompassing the hose.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a solution to the above problems by improving handling of a hose in connection with a fuel delivery unit.
  • the inventive device for handling a hose allows the hose to be pulled out from and returns the hose to a hose storage space and comprises a hose returning means comprising a carrier, a pivoting unit, and a guiding element provided on the pivoting unit.
  • a hose returning means comprising a carrier, a pivoting unit, and a guiding element provided on the pivoting unit.
  • the fact that the guiding element is arranged on the pivoting unit and engages the hose implies that the hose can be pulled out in almost any direction and returned in a smooth and stable way.
  • the joint support of the supporting part, which supports the hose also contributes to a stable arrangement.
  • the pivoting unit being adapted to be pivoted in a first direction when pulling out the hose and in a second opposite direction when the hose is returned, makes it possible to move the supporting part (supported by the pivoting unit) in a way for facilitating the pulling out and returning of the hose.
  • the carrier and the pivoting unit are provided with elongated recesses in which the supporting part is hung up.
  • the design of the recesses may be adjusted to yield a smooth and stable movement of the supporting part along a certain pathway.
  • the hose returning means and the supporting part remains within the hose storage space during use.
  • the recesses may be designed to allow return of the pivoting unit, the supporting part, and the hose, by means of gravity.
  • the pivoting unit is provided with a returning element to ensure the complete return of the pivoting unit and the hose.
  • the device for handling the hose further comprises a second hose returning means which cooperates sequentially with the first upper hose returning means.
  • a second hose returning means which cooperates sequentially with the first upper hose returning means.
  • the two hose returning means are preferably adapted to store, in the form of potential energy, at least part of the energy that corresponds to the work that is required to pull out the hose. As a result, this energy can be used to provide the return of the hose.
  • the hose returning means are suitably adapted to allow sequential pulling out of the hose and store energy sequentially, which strengthens the above advantages.
  • hose returning means are suitably adapted to return the hose sequentially, which further emphasises the above advantages.
  • At least one of the hose returning means applies on the hose a returning force which increases gradually while returning the hose.
  • the returning force which during returning is the last to act on the hose, is preferably adapted to apply on the hose a returning force which increases gradually while returning the hose. This increases the above advantage still more when returning the outermost part of the hose.
  • the inventive method for handling a hose provides advantages corresponding to those related to the device for handling a hose according to the above.
  • the fuel pump assembly according to the invention is characterised in that it has a device for handling of hose of the above-mentioned type.
  • the hose returning device of the above type requires less space compared with prior-art hose returning devices with a corresponding hose length capable of being pulled out.
  • the main components of the fuel pump assembly or fuel delivery unit are a column 1, a pump housing 2 with a pump P and a measuring device M, and a display unit 3.
  • the fuel pump assembly is connected to an underground fuel container (not shown).
  • the fuel is pumped from the underground container by means of the pump P in the pump housing 2, and from there to the column 1 via a fuel piping and out to a nozzle 4 via a fuel hose 5.
  • the fuel hose 5 is accommodated in a hose storage space 6 and the nozzle 4 is inserted in a nozzle boot 7.
  • the fuel hose 5 is connected to the fuel piping of the fuel pump assembly in an upper and, relative to the user, rear portion of the hose storage space 6.
  • the hose 5 is passed down round a deflecting roll 8 which is positioned in a lower and, relative to the user, rear portion of the hose storage space 6. From the roll 8, the fuel hose 5 is passed upwards in the hose storage space 6 and supported by a supporting roll 9 which is located in an upper and, relative to the user, front portion of the hose storage space 6.
  • the fuel hose 5 is hanging in a bend and deflects upwards once more since the nozzle 4 arranged at the end of the fuel hose 5 is inserted into the nozzle boot 7 which is positioned approximately in the middle of the column 1 in the vertical direction and at the side of the column 1 which is the front side relative to the user.
  • the deflecting roll 8 is spring loaded and adapted to be moved in the vertical direction when pulling out and returning the fuel hose 5.
  • the supporting roll 9 is adapted to be moved towards and away from the front of the hose storage space 6 when pulling out and returning the hose 5, respectively.
  • the supporting roll 9, which supports the hose 5, is movably supported by a first, upper hose returning means 10 comprising a carrier 11 mounted in the ceiling of the column 1 and a pivoting unit 12 arranged on the carrier 11 in a pivotable manner.
  • the carrier 11 is a double-wall construction, see 11a, 11b in Fig. 5 .
  • the pivoting unit 12 comprises two walls 12a, 12b on and between which an annular, pivotable guiding element 13 is hinged at a point 16 at the part of the pivoting unit 12 closest to the front of the hose storage space 6.
  • the hose 5 may slide through the guiding element 13.
  • the pivoting unit 12 is provided with a spring 19 which is adapted to return the pivoting unit 12 and, thus, the hose 5 to its initial position (see Fig. 2 ) after use.
  • the spring 19 is in this embodiment an elastic band whose one end is fixed at a fixing point 20 in the interior of the hose storage space 6 and whose other end is attached at a fixing point 21 which is positioned on the pivoting unit 12 at a distance from the pivot axis 18.
  • the spring 19 stores the energy that is necessary for pulling out the hose 5 in the form of potential energy.
  • the hose returning force is optimised as regards return of the hose 5 and the required pulling-out force is optimised as regards user-friendliness. For instance, in the positions where the user has the least favourable working position, it may be ensured that the counteracting force exerted by the return spring 19 is as small as possible, while it may be ensured that the returning force is as great as possible in the last part of the return movement to ensure that the hose 5 is returned into the hose storage space 6.
  • the roll 8 is connected to a spring 22 which is stretched when pulling out the hose 5.
  • the spring 22 which is a tension spring is connected at one end to a fixing point 23 which accompanies the roll 8 and at the other end to a fixing point 24 which is fixed relative to the hose storage space 6.
  • the spring 22 stores the work that is necessary to pull out the hose 5 in the form of potential energy. Since the vertical movement of the roll 8 in cooperation with the movement of the supporting roll 9 towards the front of the hose storage space 6 straightens out the hose 5, a great hose length is obtained relative to the work that is necessary to pull out the same. As the supporting roll 9 is moved towards the front of the hose storage space 6, the winding angle of the hose in respect of the deflecting roll 8 will decrease, which implies that the force needed to pull the roll 8 upwards will be less.
  • the movement of the supporting roll 9 towards the front of the storage space 6 implies that the deflecting roll 8 may be pulled to a very high level up behind (relative to a user) the supporting roll 9 which in turn leads to that extra hose length become accessible to the user.
  • the filling-up is started. If the vehicle is parked so that the nozzle 4 does not reach the tank connection of the vehicle, the driver will pull the hose 5 further, and as a result the pivoting unit 12 will possibly be pivoted further, but above all the roll 8 will be moved vertically upwards. Also in this case, the spring 22 will store the work that is required in the form of potential energy.
  • the driver will remove the nozzle 4 from the tank connection of the vehicle and let the hose move back as first the spring 22 of the roll 8 and then the spring 19 of the pivoting unit 12 return the hose 5 to the hose storage space 6. Owing to this sequential effect between the first upper hose returning means 10 and the second hose returning means comprising the roll 8 both when pulling out and returning the hose 5, it is possible to optimise the return function while at the same time the construction can be made very user-friendly.
  • the pivoting unit can obtain other forms which satisfy the corresponding geometric conditions of pivot axis and fixing points.
  • the elastic band 19 and the tension spring 22 can be replaced with an optional spring or another element having the corresponding function, such as some kind of coil-spring-loaded fairlead or the like.
  • One of the springs, or both, can each also be replaced with a weight.
  • one and the same spring is used to return both the pivoting unit and the deflecting roll.
  • the sequential effect can be obtained, for example by the pivoting unit and the deflecting roll being connected to the spring with a different degree of extension of the spring.
  • the pivoting unit can, for example, be secured to one end of the spring while the deflecting roll is secured to the spring by means of a hook which is arranged on the spring and engages the roll after the spring has been stretched by a certain length.
  • the design of the first upper hose returning means 10 and especially the recesses 14a,b, 15a,b may be adjusted to allow return of the returning means and the supporting roll 9 by means of gravity, so that the spring 19 may be needless.
  • a person skilled in the art may easily come to the proper dimensions and parameters as the invention now has been presented.
  • the hose storage space can be a more or less open space instead of the shown space which is relatively closed. The important thing is that the hose is returned to a position where it cannot be touched by passing vehicles or the like.
  • the hose supporting roll can be replaced with some kind of pin or some other construction which supports the hose and does not provide much resistance when pulling out the hose.
  • the guiding element 13 can be constructed in various ways, such as by a plurality of wheels encompassing the hose.
  • pivoting unit 12 could be hinged in for example the ceiling of the column 1 instead of on the carrier 11.
