The present invention relates to liquid dispensing devices having discharge nozzles. The discharge nozzle has a flow control device. The flow control device includes a check valve and an outlet. The check valve is capable of creating a vacuum pressure cycle during closing. The outlet is formed from at least one perforated plate. The perforated plate has a plurality of apertures therethrough. The plurality of apertures include at least two differently sized sets of apertures. The at least two differently sized sets of apertures include a larger size set of apertures and a smaller size set of apertures. The larger size set of apertures are centrally located within the perforated plate. The present invention helps to concentrate the greatest vacuum pressure on a decaying portion of a stream of liquid right in the center of the outlet of the discharge nozzle.

What is claimed is: 1. A fluid dispensing nozzle for dispensing and cutting off a stream of liquid into a container, the fluid dispensing nozzle comprising: a housing having a fluid flow path therethrough, the housing having an upper portion defining an inlet and a lower portion defining an outlet; a discharge check valve disposed within the housing, between the inlet and the outlet, the discharge check valve having an open position allowing a stream of liquid flow from the inlet to the outlet, an intermediate position that stops the liquid flow through the discharge check valve, and a closed position, wherein the discharge check valve is capable of creating a vacuum pressure at the outlet end during closing between the intermediate position and the closed position; and at least one perforated plate being supported by the housing and being positionable and confinable within the fluid flow path at the outlet, the at least one perforated plate having a plurality of apertures therethrough wherein there are at least two differently sized apertures including at least one larger size aperture and at least one smaller size aperture, wherein the at least one larger size aperture is positioned radially inboard of the at least one smaller size aperture, wherein the created vacuum pressure applied at the at least one larger size aperture increases the rate of decay of the liquid stream for dispensing into the container. 2. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 1, wherein the at least one larger size aperture is centrally located within the at least one perforated plate. 3. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 1, comprising a plurality of perforated plates within the fluid flow path. 4. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 1, wherein the discharge check valve is capable of creating a vacuum pressure during closing. 5. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 1 wherein the at least one smaller size aperture includes a plurality of smaller size apertures. 6. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 5 wherein the at least one larger size aperture includes a plurality of larger size apertures. 7. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 6 comprising a plurality of perforated plates within the fluid flow path. 8. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 7, further comprising a spacer at the outlet and wherein the spacer maintains separation between the at least one perforated plate and another of the plurality of perforated plates. 9. A fluid dispensing nozzle for dispensing and cutting off a stream of liquid into a container, the fluid dispensing nozzle comprising: a housing having a fluid flow path therethrough and an outlet; a discharge check valve within the housing, the discharge check valve having an open position allowing a stream of liquid to the outlet, an intermediate position that stops the liquid flow through the discharge check valve, and a closed position, wherein the discharge check valve is capable of creating a vacuum pressure at the outlet end during closing between the intermediate position and the closed position; and at least one perforated plate being supported by the housing and being positionable and confinable within the fluid flow path at the outlet, the at least one perforated plate having a plurality of apertures therethrough wherein the plurality of apertures include at least two differently sized sets of apertures including a set of larger size apertures and a set of smaller size apertures, wherein the set of larger size apertures is positioned radially inboard of the set of smaller size apertures, wherein the created vacuum pressure applied at the set of larger size apertures increases the rate of decay of the liquid stream for dispensing into the container. 10. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 9, wherein the set of larger size apertures are centrally located within the perforated plate. 11. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 9, comprising a plurality of perforated plates. 12. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 11, wherein at least one of the plurality of perforated plates is formed of a wire mesh. 13. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 12, wherein there is at least one aperture of the set of larger size apertures having a shape that is different from another aperture. 14. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 13, wherein the at least one aperture of the set of larger size apertures is substantially rectangular. 15. The fluid dispensing nozzle according to claim 14, further comprising a spacer and wherein the spacer is positioned to maintain separation between the at least one perforated plate and another perforated plate. 16. A fluid discharge nozzle for dispensing and cutting off a stream of liquid into a container, the fluid dispensing nozzle comprising: a nozzle body containing a flow control device within the nozzle body, the flow control device includes a discharge check valve and an outlet, the discharge check valve having an open position allowing liquid flow to the outlet, an intermediate position that stops the liquid flow though the discharge check valve and a closed position wherein the discharge check valve is capable of creating a vacuum pressure cycle at the outlet end during closing between the intermediate position and the closed position, and the outlet being formed from at least one perforated plate wherein the at least one perforated plate includes a plurality of apertures, wherein at least one aperture is larger than a size of at least one other aperture, wherein the at least one larger size aperture is positioned radially inboard of the at least one other aperture, and wherein the created vacuum pressure applied at the at least one larger size aperture increases the rate of decay of the liquid stream for dispensing into the container. 17. The fluid discharge nozzle according to claim 16, wherein the at least one larger size aperture is centrally located within the at least one perforated plate. 18. The fluid discharge nozzle according to claim 17, comprising a plurality of perforated plates within the fluid flow path. 19. The fluid discharge nozzle according to claim 18, further comprising a spacer at the outlet and wherein the spacer maintains separation between the at least one perforated plate and another of the plurality of perforated plates.
