Gas Pump Handle Assembly

Abstract

A gas pump handle modification comprising: a handle assembly, wherein the handle assembly includes a nozzle and a handgrip, wherein said nozzle extends from a first end of the handgrip; a lever frame extending from the handgrip, where a squeeze lever is configured within the lever frame; and a release button positioned along the handgrip, where the release button provides a means to engage the squeeze lever in an upward position to allow the release of fuel through the nozzle. The pump handle assembly also includes a hose attached to a second end of the handgrip where the hose provides a flow of fuel. In one particular embodiment, the pump handle assembly also includes a handgrip cover that covers the connection of the nozzle with the handgrip.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A gas pump handle modification comprising:
 a handle assembly, wherein the handle assembly includes a nozzle and a handgrip, and said nozzle extends from a first end of the handgrip;   a lever frame extending from the handgrip, where a squeeze lever is configured within the lever frame; and   a release button positioned along the handgrip, where the release button provides a means to engage the squeeze lever in an upward position to allow the release of fuel through the nozzle.   
     
     
         2 . The pump handle assembly according to  claim 1 , further including a hose attached to a second end of the handgrip, the hose provides a flow of fuel. 
     
     
         3 . The pump handle assembly according to  claim 1  further comprising a handgrip cover that covers the connection of the nozzle with the handgrip. 
     
     
         4 . A method of dispensing gasoline through a hand pump assembly comprising the steps of:
 a. squeezing a lever within a lever frame of a gas pump assembly;   b. depressing a release button along a handgrip of the pump handle assembly, wherein the release button provides a means to maintain the lever in a depressed position to allow the flow of gas through the pump handle assembly through the nozzle; and   c. providing a means for the release of the lever upon completion of the filling of the gas tank.   
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 4 , where a user may depress the release button a second time to deactivate the depressed position of the lever within the lever frame of the pump handle.
