Abstract
The present disclosure describes an apparatus and method for filling grease guns. The apparatus comprises a top member sealingly and slidable engageable with the interior of a grease container having a generally uniform or non-uniform cross-section. The top member including a socket for sealingly and removably receiving a grease gun body, whereby drawing of grease into the grease gun by rearward movement of a piston in the grease gun body provides suction which causes the top member to inwardly in the grease container and the grease top be forced into the grease gun body.

Apparatus for filling grease guns comprising:
- a top member sealingly and slidably engageable with the interior of a grease container along the periphery of the top member, the top member including a socket for sealingly and removably receiving a grease gun body, whereby drawing of grease into the grease gun by rearward movement of a piston in the grease gun body provides suction which causes the top member to move inwardly in the grease container and grease to be forced into the grease gun body,
- the top member including a flexibly inclined peripheral seal having multiple generally radially extending slits formed therein.
A method of filling a grease gun comprising the steps of:
- providing a top member, including a flexibly inclined peripheral seal having multiple generally radially extending slits formed therein, in sealing and slidable engagement with the interior of a grease container along the periphery of the top member;
- removably and sealingly inserting a grease gun body to be filled in a socket in the top member;
- and
- drawing of grease into the grease gun by rearward movement of a piston in the grease gun body, thereby providing suction which causes the top member to move inwardly in the grease container and grease to be forced into the grease gun body.
