Abstract
A fluid dispensing nozzle having an operating lever with a lever locating means for assisting the operator in holding the hand operating lever open at one or more fixed locations. The lever may be held at a predetermined location, using a relatively small amount of effort to hold the lever. The lever will return to closed position when hand pressure on the lever is released. The nozzle is especially useful for dispensing fluid at lower than maximum flow rate in order to avoid splashing and spillage. It is especially suited for use in self-service gasoline service stations.
