ABSTRACT:
A holding device intended to engage a single finger of the hand and provide an encircling strap with the universal length fastening capability to aid a person in holding a mechanical device without extended strain on the user's hand. The device is particularly intended to aid a self service gasoline customer in holding the gasoline nozzle valve handle in an open position for the period of time necessary to fill the user's automobile fuel tank. The device is generally cross shaped with hook and pile fastener material on opposite sides of the end regions of both the cross bar and the vertical bar of the cross shaped member which itself is fabricated of a flexible material such as web strapping in the order of three quarters of an inch in width. Nominal dimensions are eight inches by two and one half inches. The cross arm portion of the device is of sufficient length to encircle a finger such as the index finger and be secured around the user's finger to hold the strap in place. The length of the member is sufficient to encircle within the user's grip, the device to be held or actuated, including sufficient overhang for the hook and pile fabric to engage and hold the mechanical device, e.g. fuel nozzle valve handle.
