ABSTRACT:
A draw-tube solvent retaining and draining cover is disclosed, comprised of a main body, of a generally linearly elongated, cylindrical, hollow configuration. The main body is of sufficient length to allow a conventional pick-up tube to pass through the main body and into a paint can. Grooves to improve gripping are located on the exterior circumferential surface of the main body. The main body is comprised of an upper portion and a lower portion, which connect via mated threads on the bottom of the upper portion and the top of the lower portion. An upper cap is located on the top of the upper portion, releasable secured to the top portion of the main body via mated threads. The upper cap is releasably secured to the packing cylinder of the majority of airless sprayers via a universal attachment means. The upper cap has a pick-up tube hole and a return hose hole. O-rings are located between the various components. The sectional nature of the present invention permits upper portion to remain on the pick-up tube when the sprayer is used with a one gallon bucket of paint. A filling indicia reduces the likelihood of spillage. When being stored, the main body may be releasably secured to various portions of the frame on an airless sprayer via a main body attachment means. The present invention is constructed of a material selected from the group comprising aluminum and plastic.
