Abstract
An adjustable gas pump trigger lever holding device is adapted to be secured to an automatic gas pump nozzle having an operator's handle, a trigger lever below the handle that is manually adjusted between a closed and open position to regulate fluid flow from the nozzle, and a trigger guard extending from the handle and surrounding the trigger. The holding device comprises a flexible strap having first and second ends, where the strap is adapted to extend in a loop around the nozzle handle and the trigger of the nozzle that has been manually adjusted to a desired position for a desired rate of fluid flow from the nozzle. The strap has coupling members at its opposite ends to releasably secure the ends of the strap together to form a loop having a desired peripheral length extending around the nozzle handle and adjusted nozzle trigger to maintain the trigger in its adjusted position for the desired rate of fluid flow from the nozzle. A tab section is provided to facilitate the attachment of the holding device to the gas pump nozzle by the operator.
