Abstract
A fuel nozzle including a hollow body having an inlet, an outlet and a stationary surface are disclosed. Means for modulating fuel flow from the inlet to the outlet are also disclosed and comprise a flexible pressure-responsive diaphragm fixedly mounted in the body and having a freely supported edge disposed adjacent to the body stationary surface for defining therebetween a discharge port. The flow area of the discharge port is increasable in response to increasing fuel pressure in the inlet as fuel pressure acts against the diaphragm to displace the edge away from the body stationary surface.
