Abstract
An improved technique for providing electrical power to a fuel dispensing nozzle is disclosed. A plurality of conductive bands are installed around a cylindrical member, and conductive plungers and the fuel dispensing nozzle make contact with the conductive bands. As the fuel dispensing hose is twisted with respect to the nozzle, the conductive bands rotate but nonetheless remain in contact with the conductive plungers, thereby providing uninterrupted power to any desired electronics installed within the fuel dispensing nozzle.
