Multi-Layered Grease Pod for Ball and Fifth Wheel Hitches

The present invention is a grease pod to simplify and enhance the application of grease to ball hitches used in towing trailers and fifth wheel hitches. The grease pod includes a multi-layered body adapted to fit snugly over the hitch. The pod includes an inner layer and an outer layer, both made from a film, heat-sealed together to form a secure and pressure sensitive enclosure. A premeasured quantity of grease is included in the enclosure and can be available in various formulations such as marine grade grease, lithium, and graphite powder. Upon applying pressure when the trailer coupler or fifth wheel coupling is engaged, the grease pod bursts and releases the grease to evenly coat and lubricate the hitch. The method of use involves placing the pod on the ball hitch and lowering the trailer coupler or engaging the fifth wheel to apply pressure, ensuring precise lubrication.
