Description
3~.~
BACKGROUND OF TE~E INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a hydraulic tool and more particularly to a multi-function hydraulic tool especially intended for use in the servicing of automobiles and other motor vehicles.
During the servicing of automobile vehicles, it is often necessary to remove the tapered bolts or shafts of ball joint assemblies from the mounting arms through which such shafts extend. In dissembling such ball joints, it is generally also necessary to remove the nut from the threaded end of such a shaft. Frequently, such nuts are firmly rusted in position and can not be removed by unscrewing and/ therefore, have to be removed by splitting. While manually operated nut splitters can be used for such a purpose, such usle of those tools is somewhat time-consuming and, therefore, increases the labour cost of the vehicle repair.
While various tools have hereinbeEore been suggested for the press removal of the tayered shafts or ball joint assemblies, such previously proposed tools have presented certain practical disadvantages. For example, some of the known tools have been ~uite difficult to use while others have been relatively complex in their construction and consequently so expensive that their use has not been widely accepted.
In other automotive servicing operations, it is necessary to fit male members into female members and female members onto male members. Other servicing operations re~uire the removal of female members from male members.
It is a principal object of this invention to provide a multi-function hydraulic tool which can be used in many such automotive servicing operations as well as for splitting nuts.
?fL3~
It is a further object of this invention to provide a multi-function hydraulic tool for the aforesaid purpoæes and which tool is relatively simple in its construction and, therefore, relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent as the description herein proceeds.
SUMM~RY OF THE INVENTION
The invention comprises a multi-function hydraulic tool which comprises a hydraulic cylinder having a periph~ral wall, an open end and a closed-end; a piston having an outer end and slidably mounted in said cylinder for movement in an axial direction between extended and retracted poRitions thereof; a port in fluid communication with the interior of said cylinder ~or the supply thereinto of a hydraulic fluid under pressuxe to cause outward movement of said piston through said open end of said cylinder toward said extended position there-of and for the discharge of such hydraulic fluid from within said cylinder on movement of said piston axially into said cylinder toward said retracted poYition thereof; at least one arm secured to said cylinder an projecting axially beyond said open end thereof; and a generally semi-circular annular seating means secured to said arm in axially spaced apart position relative to said open end of said cylinder for sup-porting a first member when terminal pressure is applied by said piston against a cooperating second member so in turn to cause relative movement of said first and second members~
Such a tool as broadly provided by this invention canj for example, by used for applying axial pressure to the end of a male member while a cooperating female member is sup ported on the seating of the tool. Such application of axial 3~ `
pressure can be used for the press removal o such a male member from su~h a female member or for the press insertion of a male member in-to a female member.
Usefully a tool in accordance with this invention is provided with two said arms which are secured, preferably releas~bly, to the cylinder of the tool in peripherally spaced apart positions, which project axially beyond the open end of the cylinder and which are both secured to the seating of the tool. Usefully, such two arms are disposed diametrically opposite to each other.
When intended for use in diimantling automobile ball joints, the seating of a tool in accordance with this invention usefully has a semi-circular annular configuration with generally transverse inner and outer faces, the forme.r opposing the open end of the cylinder.
In a tool in accordance with ~is invention, a blind bore in usefully formad in the outer end of the piston of the tool for removably receiving a mating stud of a thrust plate.
The use of such a thxust plate is desirable in that it prevents ~0 damage to the piston itsel during use of the tool and such a thrust plate can be replaced when worn.
In order to permit the use of a tool in accordance with this invention as a hydraulic nut-splitter, such a tool is useful~ly provided with an anvil plate which can be supported on the inner surface of the seating of the tool and with a wedge-shaped splitting tool having a cutting edge facing that anvil plate and a guide stud slidably received in the aforementioned blind bore in the outer end of the piston of the tool~ ~y supporting a nut which cannot be unscrewed from a bolt so that it is supported by one of its peripheral faces on the anvil 'IL3~
plate, the tool can be operated to press the cutting edge of the splitting tool against an opposed edge face of the nut with eventual splitting of the nut. Alternatively, such a nut can b~ supported by one o its major faces on an annular anvil plate so that the cutting edges of a hollow splitting tool disposed in the end of the piston engage the other major face of such a nut on opposite sides of a bolt projecting there-tnrough.
Various arrangements of arms and seati~gs are possible for a hydraulic tool in accordance with this invention are possible and some typical arrangements for such members are shown in the accompanying drawings.

DE5CRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EM~ODIMENTS
Reference will first be made to Figure 1 in whicn there is indicated generally by the legend 10 one embodiment Qf a multi-function hydraulic tool in accordance with this invention.
The tool 10 comprises a generally right cylindrical hollow c~linder 12 having an upper closed end 13. A solid cylindrical piston 16 having an outer end 15 is slidably mounted in the cylinder 12 for movement from the retracted position snown in Figure 1 in the direction of the arrow A into an extended position. An annular piston ring 18 having a generally U-shaped sectional configuration is provided in a groove l9 formed peripherally in the piston 16 at its upper or inner end. It 3~
will, of course, be appreciated that the invent.ion is in no way restricted to the use of any particular form of piston ring, which ring is merely provided in a conventional manner to ensure a hydraulic seal ~etween the piston 16 and the cylinder 12.
A port 14 is provided in the wall of the cylinder 12 for the supply of hydraulic fluid under pressure into tnat cylinder to cause downward or outward movement of the piston 16 toward its extended position and for the discharge of such hydraulic fluid from that cylinder 12 on upward or inward mover.~ent of that piston 16 toward its retracted position.
In the accompanying drawings, the port 14 is shown as being provided with an internally threaded sleeve 17 for attachment of a hydraulic hose (not sho~n).
Two elongated arms 20 and 2:2 are secured to the outer surface of the cylindrical wall of the cylinder 12 in diametri-cally opposed positions, for example, by welding as partially indicated at 21. The arms 20, 22 extend downwardly from the cylinder 1~ beyond the lower open end thereof and, at their lower ends, are secured, for example, by welding to a semi-circular annular seating or ring generally indicated at 24.
In the particular embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the ring 24 is integrally formed with an upstanding semi-cylindrical member 2~ which is welded at Z7 to the arms 20 and 22. With further reference to the ring 24, it will ~e seen that it has an upper or innar planar face 29 which is : essentially perpendicular to the axial direction of movement of the piston 16 and a g~nerally frusto-conical outer or under-surface 31 which tapers inwardly and upwardly. The generally semi-circular opening in th~ ring 24 is indicated by the legend 33.
~L05~3~
Referring again to the piston 16, it will be noted from Figure 1 that a generally axial blind bore 26 is formed in the outer end 15 of that piston. In Figures 1 and 3, a circular thrust plate 30 comprising an axial stud 28 which is removably received in the bore 26 is shown as being so fitted on the tool 10.
Having completed the description herein of the tool 10, the manner in which that tool is used to press a tapered bolt 32 of an automobile ball joint assembly generally indicated at 34 out of a bore 36 in a mounting arm 38 of such a ball joint assembly will now b~ considered with reference to Figure 3 of the accompanyiny drawings. To effect such a removal, the mounting arm of such a ball joint assembly is placed so that it abuts the top or inner face 29 of the seating or ring 24.
Elydraulic fluid is then introduced uncler pr~ssure into the cylinder 12 through the port 14 havin~ first positioned the thrust plate 30 on the lower end 15 o~' the piston 16. Such introduction of hydraulic fluid into the cylinder 12 causes the piston 16 to be extended in the direction of the arrow A
O against the end of the bolt 32 to force that bolt out of the bore 36.
The frusto-conical under~rface 31 of the ring 24 has in practice been found to be beneficial in that it facilitates the positio~ing of the tool with the ring 24 in the relatively limited space available in automobile ball and socket joints between the mounting arm 38 and the socket housing shown schematically at 35 in Figure 3.
Referenc~ will next be made horein to Figure 4 of the accomp~nying drawings which shows the use of the tool lO
3Q as a nut splitter. For such a purpose, the aforem~ntioned 30~ `
thrust plate 30 is removed and replaced by a splitting tool generally indicated at 40 and having a wedge-shaped cutting head 41 and a stud 43 dimensioned so as to fit into the aforementioned bore 26 in the outer end of the piston 16. The cutting head 41 has a transverse cutting edge indicated by the legend 45.
To split a nut 42 for the purpose of removing it from a bolt 47, a generally semi-circular anvil plate 44 is positioned on the inner face 29 of the ring 24 for supporting the nut 42 as will readily be understood from Figure 4. On the introduction of hydraulic fluid under pressure through the port 14 into the cylinder 12, the cutting head 41 is pressed down against the side of the nut 42 so to split that nut and allow it to be removed from the bolt 47.
While the use of the tool 13 has been specifically described with reference to Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings with respect to its use for the press removal of the thraaded bolt 32 from the mounting ann 38 of an automobile ball joint assembly 34, it will be understood that the tool will find application in many other situations where it is desired to pxess a male member out of a female member. Addition-ally, the tool 10 can be used for the press insertion of a male member into a female member.
Reference will next be made fo Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the accompanying drawings in which there i5 indicated generally at 50 another embodiment of a multi-function hydraulic tool in accordance with this invention.
The tool 50 ccmprises a generally xight cylindrical hollow cylinder 51 having an uppar closed end 52. The port 53 provided with an internally threaded sleeve 54 for the attachment _ g _ 3~
of a hydraulic hose (not shown) is provided for the supply of hydraulic fluid into the cylinder 51 and for the discharge of such fluid therefrom.
A hollow cylindrical piston 55 having an upper closed end 55 is slidably mounted in the cylinder 51 for movemen-t from the retracted position shown in Figure 6 in the direction of the arrow B into an extended position as shown in Figure 8. A
piston ring 57 is seated in a peripheral recess 58 provided at tne upper or inner end of the piston 55. A radially outwardly projecting annular rib 59 is integrally formed with the piston 55 partially to prcvide the seating for the piston ring 57 and for sliding engagement with the cylinder wall 5~ A threaded ring 60 removably screwed into the lower end of the cylinder 51 engages the rib 59 and constitutes a limit means so that when the piston is in its fully extended position as shown in Figure 8, it prevents accidental expu:Lsion of the piston 55 completely out of the cylinder 51.
Secured to the cylinder wal:L 51, for example, by Welding as indicated at 61 are two diametrically opposed and radially extending arm-engagi~g means or ears 62 and 63. For a reason which will be more readily understood as the descrip-tion herein proceeds, each of the ears 62 and 63 is formed with an inner and upper bore 64 as well as with an outer and lower bore 65 therethrough.
In Figures 5, 6 and 7 of the accompanying drawings, there are also shown first and second arms 66 and 67 respectively which are releasably secured to the ears 62 and 63. These arms 66 and 67 are bifurcated at their upper ends to provide separate limbs 68 and 69 between which respective ones of the ears 62 and 63 can be received, aligned bores 70 being provided in the limbs 3~
68 and 69 for receiving Eastening bolts 7] (Figures 6 and 7) for releasably fastening the arms 66 and 67 to the ears 62 and 63 respectively, such bolts then extending through the upper and inner bores 64 in those ears. Nuts 7~ (Figure 7) are utilized to prevent accidental disengagement.
` At their lower ends, the arms 66 and 67 are secured, for e~ample, by welding as indicated at 73 to a seating com-prising a semi-cylindrical sleeve 74 which in turn is in-tegrally formed with an essentially semi-circular member having a radially extending top surface 75 and an inwardly and upwardly sloping undersurface 76 as will readily be understood by reference to Figure 5.
The tool S0 is shown in Figure 6 in use for the press removal of a tapered bolt 32 from the mounting block 38 of the ball joint assembly 34. Since the tool 50 is used for such an operation in essentially the same manner as is the tool lO and as already described herein, it is not considered to be necessary to describe such an operation in further de tail herein. It should perhaps, however, be noted thatl for such operation, a circular thrust plate 78 has its cylindrical locating stud 79 inser1 ed into the recess 55a in the lower end of the piston 55 as actually shown in Figure 6.
Reference will next be made herein to Fi~ures 9 and lO
in which there is indicated generally at 96 an alternative form of nut-splitting tool intended to be used in the hydraulic tool 50 in the manner shown in Figure lO. The tool 96 comprises a generally cylindrical locating stud 97 dimensioned so as to ba received within the open lower end of the piston 55 of the tool 50 and a larger integrally formed collar 9~ which engages the lower end of the piston wall when the tool 96 is so disposed.
J
selow the collar 98,the tool 96 is integrally formed with a hollow cylindrical wall which is cut aback or chamfered as at 99 to provide two radially extendin~ cutting edges 100.
The tool 96 is intended to be used in conjunction with an annular supporting plat~ 101 which is itself supported on the top surface 75 of the seating so as then to support a nut 102 which is to ~e split by the tool 96 as will readily be under- :-stood by reference to Figure 10. In such use, one major face of the nut 102 is supported on the plate 101 and the cutting edges laO are forced downwardly against the other major face ~.
of that nut 102, the bolt 103 extending through the central aperture 109 of the plate 101.
Reference will next ~e made to Figures 11 and 12 of the accompanying drawings in which there is indicated generally and fragmentarily at 80 an alternative structure for the arms used with the tool 50 and particularl~r intended for use in pressing a ball joint hoùsing 81 out of a supporting frame ; member 82.
Each of the two arm assemblies 80 as shown in Figure 11 comprises an elongated rod 83 which is secured, for example, by welding as indicated at 84 at its upper end to two mutually spaced lugs 85 and 86 provided with aligned bores 87 to permit the arm assembly pivotally to be secured to a respective one of the ears 62 and 63 by mean~ of a bolt 88 passing through the bores 87 and the outer and lower bore 65 in the respective one of the ears 62 and 63 as best shown in Figure 11.
` At its lower end, each rod 83 is bent inwardly at 89 and is terminally welded as indicated at 90 to a seating 91 comprising an arcuate wall portion having a top edge surface 92 disposed in a plane which extends radially with respect to the
anvil plate and a splitting tool and in use as a nut-splitter;

The arms 20, 22 extend downwardly from the cylinder 1~ beyond the lower open end thereof and, at their lower ends, are secured, for example, by welding to a semi-circular annular seating or ring generally indicated at 24.
In the particular embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the ring 24 is integrally formed with an upstanding semi-cylindrical member 2~ which is welded at Z7 to the arms 20 and 22. With further reference to the ring 24, it will ~e seen that it has an upper or innar planar face 29 which is : essentially perpendicular to the axial direction of movement of the piston 16 and a g~nerally frusto-conical outer or under-surface 31 which tapers inwardly and upwardly. The generally semi-circular opening in th~ ring 24 is indicated by the legend 33.
~L05~3~
Referring again to the piston 16, it will be noted from Figure 1 that a generally axial blind bore 26 is formed in the outer end 15 of that piston. In Figures 1 and 3, a circular thrust plate 30 comprising an axial stud 28 which is removably received in the bore 26 is shown as being so fitted on the tool 10.
Having completed the description herein of the tool 10, the manner in which that tool is used to press a tapered bolt 32 of an automobile ball joint assembly generally indicated at 34 out of a bore 36 in a mounting arm 38 of such a ball joint assembly will now b~ considered with reference to Figure 3 of the accompanyiny drawings. To effect such a removal, the mounting arm of such a ball joint assembly is placed so that it abuts the top or inner face 29 of the seating or ring 24.
Elydraulic fluid is then introduced uncler pr~ssure into the cylinder 12 through the port 14 havin~ first positioned the thrust plate 30 on the lower end 15 o~' the piston 16. Such introduction of hydraulic fluid into the cylinder 12 causes the piston 16 to be extended in the direction of the arrow A
O against the end of the bolt 32 to force that bolt out of the bore 36.
The frusto-conical under~rface 31 of the ring 24 has in practice been found to be beneficial in that it facilitates the positio~ing of the tool with the ring 24 in the relatively limited space available in automobile ball and socket joints between the mounting arm 38 and the socket housing shown schematically at 35 in Figure 3.
Referenc~ will next be made horein to Figure 4 of the accomp~nying drawings which shows the use of the tool lO
3Q as a nut splitter. For such a purpose, the aforem~ntioned 30~ `
thrust plate 30 is removed and replaced by a splitting tool generally indicated at 40 and having a wedge-shaped cutting head 41 and a stud 43 dimensioned so as to fit into the aforementioned bore 26 in the outer end of the piston 16. The cutting head 41 has a transverse cutting edge indicated by the legend 45.
To split a nut 42 for the purpose of removing it from a bolt 47, a generally semi-circular anvil plate 44 is positioned on the inner face 29 of the ring 24 for supporting the nut 42 as will readily be understood from Figure 4. On the introduction of hydraulic fluid under pressure through the port 14 into the cylinder 12, the cutting head 41 is pressed down against the side of the nut 42 so to split that nut and allow it to be removed from the bolt 47.
While the use of the tool 13 has been specifically described with reference to Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings with respect to its use for the press removal of the thraaded bolt 32 from the mounting ann 38 of an automobile ball joint assembly 34, it will be understood that the tool will find application in many other situations where it is desired to pxess a male member out of a female member. Addition-ally, the tool 10 can be used for the press insertion of a male member into a female member.
Reference will next be made fo Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the accompanying drawings in which there i5 indicated generally at 50 another embodiment of a multi-function hydraulic tool in accordance with this invention.
The tool 50 ccmprises a generally xight cylindrical hollow cylinder 51 having an uppar closed end 52. The port 53 provided with an internally threaded sleeve 54 for the attachment _ g _ 3~
of a hydraulic hose (not shown) is provided for the supply of hydraulic fluid into the cylinder 51 and for the discharge of such fluid therefrom.
A hollow cylindrical piston 55 having an upper closed end 55 is slidably mounted in the cylinder 51 for movemen-t from the retracted position shown in Figure 6 in the direction of the arrow B into an extended position as shown in Figure 8. A
piston ring 57 is seated in a peripheral recess 58 provided at tne upper or inner end of the piston 55. A radially outwardly projecting annular rib 59 is integrally formed with the piston 55 partially to prcvide the seating for the piston ring 57 and for sliding engagement with the cylinder wall 5~ A threaded ring 60 removably screwed into the lower end of the cylinder 51 engages the rib 59 and constitutes a limit means so that when the piston is in its fully extended position as shown in Figure 8, it prevents accidental expu:Lsion of the piston 55 completely out of the cylinder 51.
Secured to the cylinder wal:L 51, for example, by Welding as indicated at 61 are two diametrically opposed and radially extending arm-engagi~g means or ears 62 and 63. For a reason which will be more readily understood as the descrip-tion herein proceeds, each of the ears 62 and 63 is formed with an inner and upper bore 64 as well as with an outer and lower bore 65 therethrough.
In Figures 5, 6 and 7 of the accompanying drawings, there are also shown first and second arms 66 and 67 respectively which are releasably secured to the ears 62 and 63. These arms 66 and 67 are bifurcated at their upper ends to provide separate limbs 68 and 69 between which respective ones of the ears 62 and 63 can be received, aligned bores 70 being provided in the limbs 3~
68 and 69 for receiving Eastening bolts 7] (Figures 6 and 7) for releasably fastening the arms 66 and 67 to the ears 62 and 63 respectively, such bolts then extending through the upper and inner bores 64 in those ears. Nuts 7~ (Figure 7) are utilized to prevent accidental disengagement.
` At their lower ends, the arms 66 and 67 are secured, for e~ample, by welding as indicated at 73 to a seating com-prising a semi-cylindrical sleeve 74 which in turn is in-tegrally formed with an essentially semi-circular member having a radially extending top surface 75 and an inwardly and upwardly sloping undersurface 76 as will readily be understood by reference to Figure 5.
The tool S0 is shown in Figure 6 in use for the press removal of a tapered bolt 32 from the mounting block 38 of the ball joint assembly 34. Since the tool 50 is used for such an operation in essentially the same manner as is the tool lO and as already described herein, it is not considered to be necessary to describe such an operation in further de tail herein. It should perhaps, however, be noted thatl for such operation, a circular thrust plate 78 has its cylindrical locating stud 79 inser1 ed into the recess 55a in the lower end of the piston 55 as actually shown in Figure 6.
Reference will next be made herein to Fi~ures 9 and lO
in which there is indicated generally at 96 an alternative form of nut-splitting tool intended to be used in the hydraulic tool 50 in the manner shown in Figure lO. The tool 96 comprises a generally cylindrical locating stud 97 dimensioned so as to ba received within the open lower end of the piston 55 of the tool 50 and a larger integrally formed collar 9~ which engages the lower end of the piston wall when the tool 96 is so disposed.
J
selow the collar 98,the tool 96 is integrally formed with a hollow cylindrical wall which is cut aback or chamfered as at 99 to provide two radially extendin~ cutting edges 100.
The tool 96 is intended to be used in conjunction with an annular supporting plat~ 101 which is itself supported on the top surface 75 of the seating so as then to support a nut 102 which is to ~e split by the tool 96 as will readily be under- :-stood by reference to Figure 10. In such use, one major face of the nut 102 is supported on the plate 101 and the cutting edges laO are forced downwardly against the other major face ~.
of that nut 102, the bolt 103 extending through the central aperture 109 of the plate 101.
Reference will next ~e made to Figures 11 and 12 of the accompanying drawings in which there is indicated generally and fragmentarily at 80 an alternative structure for the arms used with the tool 50 and particularl~r intended for use in pressing a ball joint hoùsing 81 out of a supporting frame ; member 82.
Each of the two arm assemblies 80 as shown in Figure 11 comprises an elongated rod 83 which is secured, for example, by welding as indicated at 84 at its upper end to two mutually spaced lugs 85 and 86 provided with aligned bores 87 to permit the arm assembly pivotally to be secured to a respective one of the ears 62 and 63 by mean~ of a bolt 88 passing through the bores 87 and the outer and lower bore 65 in the respective one of the ears 62 and 63 as best shown in Figure 11.
` At its lower end, each rod 83 is bent inwardly at 89 and is terminally welded as indicated at 90 to a seating 91 comprising an arcuate wall portion having a top edge surface 92 disposed in a plane which extends radially with respect to the
4~
axi~ of the piston 55, an inner surface 93 generally coaxial with such axis and an undersurface 94 which tapers upwardly from a lowermost central position toward the outer ends of t~e top edge surface 92.
For use, the arms 80 are connected by the ~olts 88 to respective ones of the ears 62 and 63 and those arms are ~hen pivoted into position beneath the supporting frame members 82 as actually shown in Figure 11. On the introduction of hydraulic fluid under pressure into the cylinder 51, the thrust plate 78 ~ :
then causes the ball joint housing 81 to be pressed out of the frame member 8~.
In Figure 13, there i5 illustrated somewhat schematic-ally the use of the tool 50 for removing a pulley wheel 104 from a shaft 105. For this purpose, the tool 50 is used in conjunction with two arms 106 which are fonned at their lower ends with threaded portions 107 which are screwed into threaded bores in the pulley wheel 104. At their upper ends, the arms 106 are formed with hook-like portions 108 which, in use, are `~
inserted in the outer lower bore~ in the ears 62 and 63. In ~:
such use of the tool 50, the thrust plate 78 is once again utilized to allow the application of axial pressure to the ~ :
shaft 105 as will be readily understood from Figure 13.
It will now be under tood that the uses of the tool 50 as hereinbefore described with reference to Figures 6, 11 and 13 of the accompanying drawings all involve the pushing of a rnale member out of a female member. Figure 14 shows somewhat schematically the alternative use of the tool 50 with the thrust plate 78 for press fitting or inserting a male mer~er 111 into a bore 113 provided in a female member 112.

Finally, reference will be made to Figure 16 which illustrates also schematically the use of the tool 50 for the press removal of a female member or collar 125 from a shaft 1~6 terminating in a head 127. For such 2m operation, the head 127 is supported on the seating 116 secured to the arms 114~ A
locating stud 12~ carrying outwardly ~!xtending members 129 is disposed within the lower end of the piston 55. The diametric-ally opposed and radially extending members 129 are secured to downwardly extending arms 130 which are in turn provided at their lower ends with inwardly projecting feet 131 for sngaging th~ top surface of the collar 125. On downward movement of the piston 55, the head 127 of the male member is held in position on the seatin~ 116 while the femal~ member or collar 125 is pushed downwardly off the shaft 126 by the feet 131.
