ABSTRACT:
The fluid catcher can be detachably secured to the underside of an automobile, using springs. Wire can also be used to securely hold the fluid catcher beneath the automobile when excessive weight is placed into the fluid catcher and the springs give way. For example, when a large amount of snow or water is introduced into the fluid catcher, the wires prevent the fluid catcher from dragging on the road surface. The fluid catcher includes raised front and rear walls to prevent introduction of road debris into the fluid catcher. Additionally, two sides of the fluid catcher may be bent by a user to allow the fluid catcher to snugly and securely conform to the underside of the automobile, or all four sides of the fluid catcher may be bent to conceal sharp edges. A nonflammable absorbent pad rests at the bottom of the fluid catcher for absorbing oil or other fluids, and a screen rests at an intermediate height between the nonflammable absorbent pad and the top of the fluid catcher. The intermediate-height positioning of the screen allows for cooling of fluids and further prevents clotting of fluids on the screen.
