  • Patent number: 6338357
    Abstract: A fluid catch device is adapted to prevent spills when used during removal of a drain plug located in an area of limited access. The fluid catch device is particularly well-suited for use on motorcycles or other vehicles wherein access to an engine fluid drain plug is limited by a glide plate or other obstruction. The fluid catch device comprises an elongated fluid receptacle, a fluid port, and a tool tube. The fluid receptacle has an open end and an opposite end. The fluid port is in fluid communication with the fluid receptacle and is adapted to drain fluid from the fluid receptacle. The tool tube extends at least from the opposite end of the fluid receptacle toward the open end of the fluid receptacle. The tool tube has a proximal end that opens outside of the opposite end of the fluid receptacle and a distal end directed toward the open end of the fluid receptacle. The tool tube is adapted to receive a drain plug loosening tool.
