Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oiling equipment technology, and more specifically, to a grease gun. Background Technology

[0002] A grease gun is a lubricant delivery device that delivers grease by squeezing it from a cylinder. It typically has a long, thin outlet tube. During use, due to the increased pressure required and the viscous nature of grease, a significant residual pressure often remains inside the grease gun after dispensing, causing grease to continue flowing slowly from the outlet tube. A plug is needed to seal this residual pressure, preventing grease waste and environmental pollution. However, in existing grease guns, the plug is easily lost during use. Utility Model Content
