Receptacle for a dripping spigot

A receptacle for a dripping spigot for catching spigot leakage to prevent damage to a table top and floors comprising, in combination:

• a base member having an open upper end, a closed lower end and a cylindrical side wall therebetween, the closed lower end having a conical member integral with an inner surface at a central location thereof, the conical member extending upwardly to a height level with the open upper end, a base of the conical member having a diameter equal to a diameter of the closed lower end, the conical member serving to absorb splashing from leakage that would otherwise occur if contacting a flat surface;
• a back splash member extending upwardly from the open upper end of the base member, the back splash member having an elongated and arcuate configuration, the back splash member having a radius of curvature greater than half of a radius of curvature of the open upper end of the base member;
• a securement aperture formed through the back splash member downwardly of an upper end thereof, the securement aperture having a planar lower edge, opposed planar side edges and an arcuate upper edge, the securement aperture dimensioned for removably receiving a spigot therethrough for attachment of the receptacle to the spigot and freely extending therefrom and supported thereby to catch drips therefrom.
