Abstract
A self-latching cover mechanism includes a nozzle having a central opening and a cover. A hinge pivotally attaches the cover to the nozzle so that the cover may be pivoted between an open position, where the central opening is generally uncovered, and a closed position, where the central opening is generally covered by the cover. A catch member is attached to the cover. A latching arm is movably attached to the nozzle and engages the catch member when the cover is in the open position.
