Abstract
A liquid dispensing nozzle of the automatic shut-off type has the trigger, which holds the valve actuating means in an open position, or its retaining means formed to flex when subjected to a force beyond that exerted by the valve actuating means when it is in any set flow position so that the trigger is automatically released from its retaining means if the nozzle should be accidentally removed from the fill pipe, for example.
