IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO FUEL DISPENSING NOZZLES

摘要

A lock assembly, for incorporation in a fuel dispensing nozzle having a trigger mechanism operable to allow selective dispensing of fuel through the nozzle, the lock assembly comprising a lock member mountable in a fuel dispensing nozzle for movement between active and inactive positions relative to a trigger mechanism of the nozzle to selectively inhibit operation of the trigger mechanism, the lock member being coupled to an actuator to effect movement of the lock member, the actuator comprising an actuator body shaped to abut a filling neck of a petrol fuel tank in order to move the actuator and effect movement of the lock member from an active position to an inactive position. The locking assembly may be incorporated in a fuel dispensing nozzle and used to prevent or at least mitigate the possibility of mis-fueling.
