Abstract
A pressurized fluid filling nozzle provided with a ring for fastening on an adaptor connected to a container and with a controlled valve adapted to selectively control flow of fluid through a conduit. A sensor detects the fastening of the nozzle on the adaptor and makes it possible to render a kinematic link between a control member and the valve active to displace the valve from a position where it obturates the conduit towards a position where it leaves a passage free for fluid flow. The control member is a trigger provided with at least one profiled guide which comprises two parts which cooperate with a guide element of a lever articulated on the valve. Depending on a position of the guide element, a transmission of force between the trigger and the valve is, or is not, possible.
