a fuel dispensing nozzle , incorporating a uniquely shaped gasket for the poppet valve , generally of truncated shape , enhances the flow of fuel through the nozzle when actuated . a handle lever for the nozzle , which is designed having an elongated and enlarged end , includes elongated slots , that are pivotally pinned through both the latch plate , and the handle link , in order to reduce the space between the interconnection between the front of the latch plate to the bottom of the automatic shutoff stem , such that by lessening the distance between these components , thereby reducing the fulcrum point for the calculation of the force necessary to open the nozzle by raising its handle lever , and reduces the force necessary to achieve nozzle opening and actuation , to less than 5 lbs pressure during usage and application .
