Abstract

See full text

Apparatus providing a tethered cap for a fill opening of a sprayer tank which is tethered inside, rather than outside the tank, via a tether line movably attached to a basket suspended in the tank, and having a gasket at an upper end of the basket which is engaged by the cap to seal the fill opening in the tank when the cap is closed. The tether line extends through the gasket so that the basket, the gasket, and the cap are tethered to each other. Since the tether line is inside the tank, catching or snagging of the line and the cap on obstacles, such as trees, or branches, is precluded. The cap remains connected to the sprayer tank when it is removed from the tank in order to fill the tank and misplacement of the cap is also precluded even though the cap is not held by the sprayer operator while the tank is being filled.
