ABSTRACT:
A holding fixture to facilitate removing a fuel-dispensing nozzle assembly, optionally including a swivel or breakaway device, from a hose includes one or more stabilizing supports to hold the nozzle assembly in a predetermined orientation and a basin member to contain fuel spilled from the nozzle assembly and/or the hose during the changeout procedure. A knee rest to allow the mechanic to use his body weight to pin the holding fixture to the ground is also preferably included.
The stabilizing supports preferably include a spout stabilizer to hold the nozzle spout in a predetermined orientation, and a body stabilizer to hold the nozzle assembly body. A base member to assist in stabilizing the holding fixture during the changeout procedure, and a stabilizer to hold the swivel and/or breakaway device and/or the fuel hose in a predetermined orientation may also be included. Finally, the fixture may be adapted to include two sets of stabilizing members so that the new and old nozzle assemblies may be simultaneously stabilized.
