Funny, I found myself asking this question recently too. Also, who made them.. I wish some of these industrial everyday products had the name of the designer attached. Found a video which has a nice nozzle teardown [1].
Another interesting thing is the story of self-fueling, an study in slow adoption. Apparently, the current state of affairs was reached by 1980s or so [2].
I remember driving from California to Oregon, getting to a gas station and trying to pump my own gas... the clerk almost jumped to my neck (in my memories at least :-p).
