  In this case, the tank chamber 17 is a narrow space in which the fuel tank 12, the hydraulic oil tank 13, various pipes, and the like are mixed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the grease gun holding member 20 is provided on the inner surface 15B of the inner cover 15 above the fuel tank 12 and the hydraulic oil tank 13, and the grease gun 19 is held by the grease gun holding member 20. doing. As a result, the grease gun 19 can be held in a posture inclined obliquely downward along the downward inclination of the upper end of the inner cover 15, while narrowly narrowing the fuel tank 12, the hydraulic oil tank 13, and various pipes. The grease gun 19 can be accommodated in a compact tank chamber 17.

  Next, the procedure for housing the grease gun 19 in the tank chamber 17 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11, the tank cover 18 is omitted.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7, the tank cover 18 is moved to the open position, and the tank chamber 17 is opened. Then, the cylindrical portion 19 </ b> A of the grease gun 19 is fitted into each gripping portion 21 </ b> D of the holder portion 21 that constitutes the grease gun holding member 20 provided on the inner cover 15. Two gripping portions 21D are provided in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical portion 19A of the grease gun 19, and the upper portion is open. Thereby, the grease gun 19 can be stably held, and the grease gun 19 can be easily attached and detached.

  Here, in a state where the grease gun 19 is fitted in each gripping portion 21D of the holder portion 21 (state shown in FIG. 9), the handle portion 19C of the grease gun 19 protrudes above the flange portion 15A of the inner cover 15, and the tank When the cover 18 is moved to the closed position, the handle portion 19C of the grease gun 19 interferes with the tank cover 18 so that the tank cover 18 is not closed.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the grease gun 19 held by each gripping portion 21D of the holder portion 21 is rotated in the direction of arrow A, and the handle portion 19C of the grease gun 19 is moved under the flange portion 15A of the inner cover 15. Move so that it is on the side. As a result, the entire grease gun 19 can be stored below the flange portion 15 </ b> A of the inner cover 15. Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the grease gun 19 is moved in the direction of arrow B along the holder portion 21. As a result, the grease gun 19 slides diagonally downward until the fulcrum 19C1 of the handle portion 19C contacts the drop-off restricting piece 23B of the stopper 23, and the fulcrum 19C1 contacts the drop-off restricting piece 23B as shown in FIG. At the same time, the side surface of the handle portion 19 </ b> C is positioned at a position in contact with the rotation restricting piece 23 </ b> C of the stopper portion 23. Thereby, even when the grease gun 19 is held obliquely downward along the downward inclination of the inner cover 15, the grease gun 19 can be controlled to move obliquely downward by the drop-off restricting piece 23B of the stopper portion 23. The grease gun 19 can be reliably held by the holder portion 21.

  Further, since the rotation restricting piece 23C of the stopper portion 23 is in contact with the side surface of the handle portion 19C of the grease gun 19, it is possible to prevent the grease gun 19 from rotating. As shown in FIG. 11, the free end 19 </ b> C <b> 2 side of the handle portion 19 </ b> C of the grease gun 19 is accommodated in contact with the lower surface of the flange portion 15 </ b> A of the inner cover 15. Thereby, since the upward rotation of the handle portion 19C is restricted, it is possible to prevent unnecessary grease from being extracted from the grease gun 19 due to vibration during the operation of the hydraulic excavator 1 or the like.

  Furthermore, the tip 19B1 of the injection nozzle 19B of the grease gun 19 can be positioned on the tray 24B of the nozzle receiver 24.
