<p>A new and novel mounting for a flexible hose in a gasoline dispensing apparatus is disclosed. Contrary to a conventional mounting in which the hose is fixed to the apparatus housing at the one end and the other free end provided with a valved nozzle which is normally hung on the housing so that the intermediate length of the hose is suspended like the letter of "U", according to the present invention the hose is extended upwardly and then suspended downwardly so that this inverted "U" form is normally maintained by an elastic means such as a coiled spring fitted on the hose along at least the upwardly extended length. Thereby the force necessary for manually bringing the nozzle to the fuel inlet of a car can be considerably decreased and undesired hose dragging can be avoided which makes it possible to realize self-service system in a gasoline station.</p> |
