ABSTRACT:
A grease fitting cover and locator is comprised of a tubular member having an axially located aperture therein. A substantially large flange is mounted transversely on one end of the tubular member. Means to facilitate the grasping of the tubular member are provided on the surface thereof and comprises either an arcuate angular groove, a knurled surface, or a second flange spaced from the first-mentioned flange. The aperture has a diameter such that it will tightly fit on a grease fitting. The axial depth of the aperture is greater than the length of the grease fitting inserted therein so as to provide an air pocket in the closed end of the aperture. This air pocket creates a suction when the grease fitting cover and locator is removed, thus serving to maintain the device on the grease fitting. An indicia surface device may be placed on the flange to enhance the visibility or the identification thereof. Means are provided for placing an identifying tag on the flange if required.
