Foldable clip for pump handle

摘要

A clip that holds the dispensing lever of a fluid dispensing pump in an open position, thereby controlling the flow of liquid from the pump without the necessity of the user manually applying pressure to the dispensing lever. One use of the clip is on the gasoline pumps at self service gasoline pumps. The clip is of a generally U-shape and comprises a shank, two upwardly turning legs at each end of the shank and a first and second arm pivotally attached to the first and second legs, respectively. The clip is capable of alternating between a folded state and an extended state. The clip is constructed so that the first and second arms pivot inwardly towards the shanks reducing the clip to the compact form when not in use.
