  • Patent number: 5988427
    Abstract: An environmental protection article is for use with transport trucks. The article is a carry-on article which is used in case of accidental fuel line or fuel tank leakage to receive and retain leaked liquid. The article comprises an open-top receptacle with an inflatable sidewall, an air supply tube extending to the sidewall and sealed thereto, and a quick connect valve secured to a distal end of the air supply tube. The article is folded to a compact state for easy storage. In case of emergency use, the driver of the truck can unfold the article and then connect a quick connect valve found on the truck's pressurized air hose to the mating quick connect valve of the article to readily and quickly inflate the open-top receptacle's sidewall to form a vessel. The article, once inflated, is simply slid under the source of leakage to receive and retain the leaked liquid.
