Claim:
A manifold gauge cover device comprising: (a) a first half shell 110 a , the first half shell 110 a is generally hollow and has a top surface 113 a , an open front portion 115 a , a back surface 116 a , and an inner cavity, an inner surface of the first shell 110 a is lined with foam 150 ; (b) a second half shell 110 b , the second half shell 110 b is generally hollow and has a bottom surface 114 b , an open front portion 115 b , a back surface 116 b , and an inner cavity, an inner surface of the first shell 110 a is lined with foam 150 , the open front portions 115 of both half shells 110 a , 110 b allow passage of hoses 103 of a manifold gauge set 101 ; (c) a hinge 120 disposed at an intersection of the back surface 116 a of the first half shell 110 a and the back surface 116 b of the second half shell 110 b , the hinge 120 connects the half shells 110 a , 110 b together, the half shells 110 a , 110 b can move between an open position and a closed position respectively allowing and preventing access to the inner cavities of the half shells 110 a , 110 b; (d) a locking mechanism 130 for securing the half shells 110 a , 110 b in the closed position; (e) a gauge aperture 160 disposed in the back surfaces 116 of both half shells 110 a , 110 b , the gauge aperture 160 allows passage of a hook component 102 of a manifold gauge set 101 ; (f) a magnet 180 is disposed on the bottom surface 114 b of the second half shell 110 b ; and (g) a chart holder 140 disposed on the top surface 113 a of the first half shell 110 a adapted to hold a pressure temperature chart; wherein when the half shells 110 a , 110 b are in the closed position, the half shells 110 a , 110 b cover a portion of a manifold gauge set 101 .
