ABSTRACT:
A protective apparatus for use with a fuel pump filler gun having in sequence a barrel, a head, and a handle, includes a protective body. The protective body has an energy absorbing inner layer, e.g., upholstery material, surrounding a portion of the filler gun to protect the filler gun from impact forces. The protective body also includes an outer layer surrounding at least a portion of the inner layer. The outer layer is harder than the inner layer so as to resist scratching, absorb the initial impact, and distribute the forces over the softer inner layer. The protective apparatus further includes means for attaching the protective body to the filler gun or to a boot covering a portion of the filler gun. A spring can be provided between the filler gun and outer shell to absorb direct impacts, and ribs can be provided on the inner surface of the outer shell.
