Apparatus for transferring and dispensing essential oils and waxes
An apparatus for manual transfer of a viscous fluid such as essential oil or wax comprises a tip having a depression to accommodate an amount of the viscous fluid and a brim to cause a break in a vapor trail when the amount of viscous fluid is being placed on a heated surface and becomes vaporized; a cap that fits over the tip to prevent unwanted transfer of any remaining viscous fluid to surroundings when the tool resting on a surface; and a handle to allow a user to hold the without contacting the tip.
Device for a touch-free operation of a fuel pump nozzle
An apparatus includes a cover forming an open channel that includes a curved grip portion and first and second sides extending from the curved grip portion. The channel is receivable onto a fuel pump handle of a fuel pump nozzle such that the curved grip portion fits closely over the fuel pump handle and the sides extend downwardly along opposing sides of the fuel pump handle. The apparatus further includes a trigger guard including a first end connected to the first side of the cover by a hinge and a second end that is selectively connectable to the second side of the cover. The trigger guard is rotatable about the hinge from an open position to a closed position in which the trigger guard extends under a fuel pump trigger of the fuel pump nozzle and the second end is connected to the second side.
PERSONAL GAS HANDLE SANITARY COVER DEVICE
The present invention relates to a personal gas handle device. The personal gas handle protective device is in the form of a sanitary cover capable of fitting over a gas pump handle and trigger to prevent direct contact of a user's hand with the gas pump handle and trigger for improving safety and reducing the spread of germs and bacteria. The sanitary cover has a handle cover portion for covering a portion of the handle of the gas pump, a trigger cover portion having a curved portion for covering the trigger of the gas pump. The sanitary cover can be removed and wiped for reuse and can be easily stored and carried. The sanitary cover is made of flexible plastic enabling a user to squeeze the gas pump trigger with the cover fitted over the handle and the trigger.

The trigger guard is rotatable about the hinge from an open position to a closed position in which the trigger guard extends under a fuel pump trigger of the fuel pump nozzle and the second end is connected to the second side.
Fuel tank fill assembly
A fuel tank fill assembly includes a fuel fill tube adapted to be coupled to a fuel tank and configured to receive fuel discharged by a pump nozzle. The assembly includes a tube mounting bracket for mounting the fuel fill tube in a stationary position in a vehicle to conduct fuel to the fuel tank. A process for coating the tube mounting bracket is disclosed.
Fuel pump handle guard
The device disclosed within as a reusable fuel pump handle guard. A user holds the handle guard in his or her hand, with his palm against the grip, and fingers extending down the two parallel elements. He then applies the hand guard to the hand rest of the fuel pump. A shoulder located at the front edge of the grip prevents the user's hand from sliding too far forward and off the handle guard. The flexible material of the handle guard allows the user to bend the receiving element toward the latching element, around the grip of the gas pump, and underneath the handle of the gas pump actuating the pump ultimately passing the hook of the latching element into the hole of the receiving element.
Dispenser for providing hygienic protection of hands when using a fuel pump
When filling a vehicle with fuel, a person must touch and hold the dispenser nozzle by the handle 11, squeezing the trigger lever 13. This handle 11 is contaminated by fuel vapour, residue, bacteria, dirt and contaminants by previous usage of multiple persons touching and holding the handle 11 with contaminated hands. The present invention relates to a protective material dispenser 101 with protective material 103 therein, which is releasably couplable to such a fuel gun 2. In this way, a user may easily retrieve some of the protective material 103 from the dispenser 101 prior to touching the fuel pump hand grip 11, and then cover the hand grip 11 to protect his/her hands from making direct contact therewith.
Vehicle fueling control system and control method
A vehicle fueling control system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fuel inlet conduit configured to receive a fuel dispensing nozzle, and a blocking assembly. The blocking assembly is configured to move back and forth between a fill blocking position that blocks airflow through a port of the fuel dispensing nozzle and a fill permitting position that permits airflow through the port of the fuel dispensing nozzle.
Systems and methods for supplying fuel to a vehicle
In an example, a method of supplying fuel to a fuel tank of a vehicle includes supplying, via a fuel line, fuel to a fuel tank of a vehicle at an initial rate of fuel flow, which causes an electrostatic charge to accumulate on a surface of the fuel in the fuel tank. The method also includes exposing an air medium in the fuel tank to ionizing radiation to increase a level of ionization of an air medium in the fuel tank and increase a rate of dissipation of the electrostatic charge. The method includes determining the level of ionization of the air medium in the fuel tank, and determining an increased rate of fuel flow based on a difference between the determined level of ionization and a baseline level of ionization. The method further includes supplying the fuel to the fuel tank at the increased rate of fuel flow.
