Abstract
A leak catching apparatus is provided. The leak catching apparatus may include a plate having a first section, a center section, and a second section, wherein the first section is non-coplanar with the second section; an absorbent material housed on the first section; one or more absorbent material attachments coupled to the first section to secure the absorbent material to the first section; and one or more plate attachments coupled to the first section and the second section, wherein the one or more plate attachments temporarily secures the first section and the second section to a sealed system that contains liquid.
Claims20
A leak catching apparatus, comprising:
- a plate having a first section, a center section, and a second section, wherein the center section is upwardly angled from the first section to the second section such that the first section is non-coplanar with the second section, wherein the first section and the second section are symmetrical about the center section, and the center section defines a pivot axis, wherein the first section configured to pivotally rotate around the pivot axis;
- an absorbent material housed on the first section;
- one or more absorbent material attachment means coupled to the first section to secure the absorbent material to the first section;
- and
- one or more plate attachment means coupled to the first section and the second section, wherein the one or more plate attachment means are configured to temporarily secure the first section and the second section to a sealed system that contains liquid.
2 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first plate having a first side panel, a second side panel, a first end panel, and a second end panel, wherein the first side panel, the second side panel, the first end panel, and the second end panel angularly extend from the first plate defining an open volume;
- a second plate coupled to a first end panel, wherein the first plate is non-coplanar with the second plate and the first plate and the second plate are symmetrical about the first end panel, the first end panel defines a pivot axis, wherein the first plate rotationally pivots via the pivot axix;
- an absorbent material housed within the open volume on the first plate;
- at least one securing arm extending from the first end panel, wherein the at least one securing arm is parallel to the first plate;
- a latching device coupled to the first plate and adjacent to the second end panel and extending perpendicular from the first plate, wherein the absorbent material is retained under the least one securing arm and the latching device, wherein the latching device is configured to be manipulated away from the absorbent material allowing quick release and removal of the absorbent material;
- one or more first attachment means coupled to the first plate and one or more second attachment means couple to the second plate, wherein the one or more first attachment means and the one or more second attachment means are configured to temporarily secure the first plate and the second plate to a structure associated with leaking equipment;
- and
- one or more splash guards angularly coupled to the first side panel, the second side panel, the second end panel, or a combination thereof.
5 more elements
A leak prevention apparatus, comprising:
- a flexible pan having defining an open volume for receiving a liquid leaking from a leaking apparatus;
- a plate coupled to the pan, wherein the flexible pan and the plate are non-coplanar and symmetrical about a pivot axis, wherein the flexible pan is configured to pivotally rotate around the pivot axis;
- an absorbent material housed within the open volume on the pan;
- one or more latching devices coupled to one or more positions of the pan, wherein the absorbent material is retained in the open volume by the latching device;
- one or more first attachment means coupled to the pan and one, wherein the one or more first attachment means are configured to temporarily secure the pan to a structure associated with the leaking apparatus;
- one or more second attachment means coupled to the plate, wherein the one or more second attachment means is configured to secure the plate to a structure associated with the leaking apparatus or the leaking apparatus;
- and
- one or more splash guards angularly coupled to the pan.
