Claims4
A portable lubricating apparatus utilizing an upright removable and replaceable container of grease for delivery through a hose and nozzle comprising:
- an elongated horizontal wheeled chassis;
- a pump carried adjacent one end of said chassis;
- an electric motor and a battery therefor carried in a portion of said chassis opposite said pump;
- a vertical frame comprised of a plurality of spaced upright guide members carried by said chassis about said pump adjacent said end of the chassis and extending thereabove for receiving an upright removable and replaceable container of grease;
- and
- an upwardly projecting coupling means carried by said pump for communicating with a lower end of said container of grease receiving grease automatically upon reception of said container in said vertical frame supplying grease to said hose under pressure;
- whereby the spaced upright members of said vertical frame guide said removable and replaceable container of grease to position for immediately delivering grease to said pump through said coupling to serve as a temporary grease supply and to position same preparatory to removal for replacement by another removable and replaceable container of grease.
