Claims28
A carrier for a cylindrical grease cartridge comprising:
- a body having a side wall, a bottom wall, and an open upper end, said side wall having an internal cylindrical surface surrounding a chamber for accommodating a lower portion of the grease cartridge and a plurality of non-cylindrical longitudinal outside surfaces extended the length of the side wall, a cap having a side wall, a top wall and an open lower end, said cap side wall having an inside cylindrical surface surrounding a space for accommodating the upper portion of the grease cartridge and a plurality of non-cylindrical longitudinal outside surfaces aligned with the outside surfaces of the body, and means for releasably connecting the cap to the body with the open upper end of the body in communication with the open lower end of the cap.
A carrier for a cartridge storing flowable material, said cartridge having upper and lower portions comprising:
- a body having a side wall, a bottom wall, and an open upper end, said side wall having an internal surface surrounding a chamber for accommodating a lower portion of the cartridge and a plurality of non-cylindrical longitudinal outside surfaces extended the length of the side wall, a cap having a side wall, a top wall and an open lower end, said cap side wall having an inside surface surrounding a space open to the lower end for accommodating an upper portion of the cartridge and a plurality of non-cylindrical longitudinal outside surfaces equal in member to the outside surface of the body, said outside surfaces of the cap being aligned with the outside surfaces of the body when the cap is attached to the body, and means for releasably connecting the cap to the body to close the open upper end of the body and the lower end of the cap.
A carrier for a cylindrical grease cartridge comprising:
- a body having a side wall, a bottom wall, and an open upper end, said side wall having an internal cylindrical surface surrounding a chamber for accommodating a lower portion of the grease cartridge, a plurality of non-cylindrical longitudinal outside surfaces extended the length of the side wall, and an upright top flange having an outer cylindrical surface, each of said plurality of non-cylindrical longitudinal outside surfaces on the side wall of the body being generally flat, a cap having a side wall, a top wall and an open lower end, said cap side wall having an inside cylindrical surface surrounding a space for accommodating the upper portion of the grease cartridge and a plurality of non-cylindrical longitudinal generally flat outside surfaces aligned with and corresponding in number to the outside surfaces of the body, said cap including a downwardly extended lip having an inside cylindrical surface, said lip extending over said flange when the cap is mounted on the body, said inside and outside cylindrical surfaces being located in surface engagement to inhibit entrance of foreign matter into the chamber, and means for releaseably connecting the cap to the body with the open upper end of the body in communication with the open lower end of the cap and retaining the flat outside surfaces of the body and cap aligned with each other.
