Abstract
Concepts presented herein relate to containment methods, systems and apparatus to assist in preventing oil and waste spillage during loading and unloading of fluid to and from a container assembly. The container assembly includes a container and a lid coupled with the container. A fluid delivery component is coupled to an interior of the lid and is positioned to direct fluid into the container.
Claims19
A tool storage device for use with a containment assembly having a container and a lid coupled with the container, the containment assembly operable in an open configuration and a closed configuration, the tool storage device comprising:
- a base component configured to be coupled to the lid;
- a tool support component coupled with the base component and configured to support a tool thereon when the containment assembly is in the open configuration;
- and
- a fluid delivery component pivotally coupled with the base component and positioned to direct fluid from the tool support component to the container.
A method of containing oil and/or waste spillage in a containment assembly having a container and a lid coupled with the container, the containment assembly operable in an open configuration and a closed configuration, the method comprising:
- providing a tool storage device comprising a base component, a tool support component and a fluid delivery component, wherein the tool support component is connected to the base component and configured to support a tool therein, wherein the fluid delivery component is connected to the base component and positioned to direct fluid from the tool support component to the container;
- connecting a rod to the lid to maintain the containment assembly in the open configuration;
- and
- coupling the tool storage device to the container.
A containment assembly, comprising:
- a container;
- a lid pivotally connected to the container through a hinge and configured to be positioned in an open configuration and a closed configuration;
- a fluid delivery component connected to the lid such that, when the lid is in the open configuration, fluid on an interior of the lid and above the fluid delivery component is directed to the container.
