Abstract:

In a unitized door construction for fuel dispensers, a molded door panel hinged at one edge to selectively provide access to the safe zone in which are housed all electronics, lamps, one or more customer communication devices, and, in some embodiments, even meter encoders and/or the electromechanical portion of the fuel valves. The nozzle boot(s) and nozzle cradle seat(s) are molded integrally into the surface of the door panel. One or more smaller access panels in the upper portion of the door panel allow separate and selective access through the larger door panel to the credit card reader, receipt printer, cash depository, and attendant key pad, as well as providing security for the large door panel. A unique hinge arrangement allows the hinge to be located internally of the external periphery of the door panel and then the door to be moved rearwardly upon closure to effect the final sealing thereof.
