[origin: ES8304028A1] A nozzle for filling containers with liquid, with automatic closing of the nozzle, when they are full, by means of a flow valve which is controllable by a delivery lever via a detachable connection. The connection is acted upon by a switching device which, according to the pressure in a pressure channel terminating at the outlet orifice of the nozzle, causes the valve to close.
