AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The grease gun is always producing unwanted grease from several locations on the grease gun.
This is due to the fact that the end of the coupler #A is difficult to wipe off and grease usually weeps out of the coupler #A because there is nothing in the coupler #A to stop the flow of grease from the coupler #A and the extension #B.

Abstract

The Grease Gun Stopper is used to stop unwanted grease escaping from a grease gun coupler, when the grease gun is not in use.This is a welcomed improvement over the present situation where there is nothing but a cloth to catch unwanted grease escaping from the coupler.One snaps the plugged grease nipple or facsimile thereof within the grease gun stopper on or off the grease gun coupler.

Description

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON GREASE GUN COUPLERSRefer to Appendix E[0001]When a grease gun is sold, it generally comes with a grease gun coupler attached. If the grease gun stopper device was available, it would be beneficial for this device to be part of the grease gun package.[0002]Grease gun couplers are very similar in shape, which makes it possible to create a device, such as the grease gun stopper, to stop the flow of grease from the grease gun coupler.[0003]The shape of the grease gun coupler is difficult for manufacturers to change due to the following:[0004]It needs to fit grease nipples on existing equipment and grease nipples are made a standard size to conform to the manufacturing industry. Likewise, grease gun couplers must conform to the grease nipple standard size to fit properly.[0005]It needs to be as narrow as possible to service grease nipples in tight areas.[0006]It needs to pass through ports in safety shields that lead to grease nipples to be serviced.[0007]It is ...
