Abstract
Apparatus and methods for containing leakage of a grease gun.

The sidewall has an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface which encompasses an inner space for receiving a leaking lubricant.
Claims6
A method for containing leakage from a grease gun, comprising:
- providing a body constructed from an elastomeric material, the body having an open end, a closed end, and a sidewall extending between the open end and the closed end, the sidewall having an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface which encompasses an inner space at the closed end for receiving and containing a leaking lubricant;
- positioning the open end of the body about a non-dispensing end of a grease gun such that the inner peripheral surface of the body is in contact with an outer surface of the grease gun to form a relative airtight seal between the non-dispensing end of the grease gun and the cover so that the inner space receives and contains lubricant leaking from the non-dispensing end of the grease gun.
