Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for locking the trigger of a fuel dispensing gun and a method of dispensing fuel.
- a conventional fuel dispensing gun has a trigger which controls the starting and stopping of the fuel dispensing.
- This trigger can switch between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position, towards which it is returned by an elastic member.
- a user To use fuel, a user must therefore manually maintain the trigger in the dispensing position, which forces him to do nothing but wait in an often uncomfortable position during fuel dispensing and tires the hand that this user uses to act continuously on the trigger, against the elastic member.
- a known device for locking the trigger in the fuel dispensing position comprises a rack carried by a trigger guard of the gun, as well as a locking element which is pivotally mounted at the free end of the trigger and can be hung manually to this rack, in order to retain the trigger in the dispensing position.
- the release of the trigger consists in manually unhooking the rack locking element, so that in cases where the fuel pump connected to the gun stops automatically as soon as the tank to be filled is full, the user can forget to perform this release before hanging the gun.
- This is a disadvantage because, when it is picked up again, the gun may start dispensing fuel before it has been properly engaged in the entry of a new tank to be filled. This is why the locking device which has just been described has been removed from the most dispensing guns currently in service.
- the invention which intends to remedy the aforementioned drawback, therefore has at least the aim of making it possible to block the trigger of a fuel distribution gun in a fuel distribution position in such a way that it is otherwise impossible, at least very improbable that someone could forget to release this trigger after having used fuel.
- the subject of the invention is a device for blocking the trigger of a fuel dispensing gun, said trigger being resiliently biased towards a position of non-dispensing of fuel, characterized in that it comprises a body suitable for being inserted between a trigger guard of the gun and said trigger in the fuel distribution position, then being temporarily wedged between the trigger guard and the trigger, so as to maintain the trigger in the fuel distribution position.
- FIGs 1 and 2 there is shown a device 1 for locking the trigger of a fuel dispensing gun.
- This locking device 1 comprises a preferably hollow body 2, and possibly a pulling ring 3 provided for pulling on this body 2.
- the body 2 is made of plastic, for example from recycling, and can be used as an advertising medium. It has the shape of a solid of annular revolution and it is elongated along its axis of symmetry XX '. It has a length l 1 of the order of 7 cm and has two end sections 4 and 5 which extend each other.
- the section 4 is cylindrical and ends with a free end 6 of the body 2.
- the body 2 has a width l 2 of between 45 and 55 mm, advantageously between 48 and 52 mm, and preferably of around 50 mm.
- the section 5 is frustoconical and it is oriented so as to flare gradually as one moves away from the section 4.
- the body 2 therefore has a concave external surface.
- An internal ring 7 for reinforcing the body 2 is fixed to the internal surface of this body 2, at the junction of the sections 4 and 5. This ring is optional.
- the ring 3 is mounted at the other free end 8 which the body 2 has opposite its free end 6. More specifically, it passed through a through hole 9, which is drilled in the body 2.
- a conventional fuel dispensing gun 11 comprises a trigger 12 for controlling the flow of fuel dispensed, as well as a trigger guard 14, which protects this trigger 12 and each end of which is fixed substantially at the level of the 'one of the two ends of the handle 15 of the gun 11.
- the trigger 12 is pivotally mounted, so that it is movable between a first and a second position. It is resiliently returned to the first position, which is illustrated in Figure 3 and in which the fuel supply is cut.
- this trigger 12 is placed manually in the second position, which is illustrated in FIG. 4, the gun 11 distributes fuel.
- the body 2 is jammed by being pinched between the trigger 12 and the trigger guard 14.
- the reinforcing ring 7 then takes over part of the crushing force to which the body 2 is subjected.
- the trigger 12 is blocked in the fuel distribution position by this body 2, which opposes the action of the above-mentioned elastic member.
- the user who has blocked the trigger 12 with the locking device 1 has his two hands free during the entire distribution of fuel, so that he can wait for the end of this distribution while being in a comfortable position and / or doing something else.
- the user can hardly forget to remove the locking device 1, in accordance with the object of the invention, because of the size of the body 2 and the location of this body 2 in position blocking. If, by extraordinary means, the locking device 1 was forgotten, the next user would not fail to notice it.
- the ring 3 can serve as a keychain and be provided with the ignition key of the user's vehicle. If this is the case, and if the user has forgotten to remove the blocking device 1 after filling the tank of his vehicle with the gun 11, this user realizes this as soon as he wants to start his vehicle with the ignition key.
- a link can connect the ring 3 to a point located in the trunk of the vehicle, where the locking device 1 is intended to be stored after use.
- the ring 3 is grasped, by means of which the body 2 is pulled so as to extract it from the space between the trigger 12 and the trigger guard 14.
- the shape of the body 2 can be modified.
- this body 2 may not have a circular cross section as in the example shown, but a polygonal section.
- it may comprise only the cylindrical section 4, that is to say be devoid of the section 5.
- it may be cubic or generally have the shape of a parallelepiped.
- the ring 3 although advantageous, can be replaced by a flexible link or by a tongue which can be grasped to pull on the body 2.
