Abstract

The subject of the invention is a wiper for a dipstick used for checking the level of lubricant in the sump of motor vehicle engines. The originality of the invention resides in the arrangement of two bodies of spongy material, which are inert to hydrocarbons, in a casing which is open at its top, into which it is sufficient to introduce the dipstick soiled with oil, and pull it towards oneself in order for it to be clean. The second originality resides in the fact that the dipstick wiper which forms the subject of the present invention has been fitted to the closure cap of the sump for filling the engines with lubricant, and in that channels have been made for draining the oil resulting from the wiping towards the sump from which it has come.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un essuyeur de jauge indicatrice de niveau d'huile dans le certer des moteurs en général et, en particulier, dans ceux des véhicules automobiles. The present invention relates to a dipstick wiper indicating the oil level in the certer of engines in general and, in particular, in those of motor vehicles.

Jusqu'a présent, pour procéder au contrôle de niveau d'huile dans les moteurs, il était nécessaire d'extraire la jauge entièrement souillée huile de son étui, de l'essuyer à l'aide, soit d'un chiffon,soit d'une serviette en papier, qu'on jette, en général n importe ou, d'ou pollution. Ensuite de la replonger dans son conduit de carter, de l'extraire une deuxième fois pour pouvoir lire l'étant du niveau d'huile. Le présent dispositif essuyeur de jauge, suivant l'invention, permet la suppression de ces manoeuves aussi salissantes que désagréables. Until now, to check the oil level in the engines, it was necessary to extract the fully soiled oil dipstick from its case, to wipe it using either a cloth or 'a paper towel, which is thrown, generally no matter where, or pollution. Then plunge it back into its crankcase duct, extract it a second time to be able to read the oil level. The present gauge wiper device, according to the invention, allows the elimination of these dirty and unpleasant maneuvers.

Dans celui-ci, en effet, une extraction de la jauge et un geste suffisent pour obtenir une jauge nette d'huile. I1 suffit ensuite de la replonger dans son conduit de carter et de l'extrai- re pour la vérification du niveau d'huile. Une seule main suffit pour accomplir cette mission et aucune salissure n'est à craindre. In this one, in fact, an extraction of the dipstick and a gesture are enough to obtain a net dipstick of oil. It then suffices to plunge it back into its crankcase duct and extract it for checking the oil level. One hand is enough to accomplish this mission and no dirt is to be feared.

Le dispositif, objet de 1 invention, comporte un bouchon universellement employé pour l'obturation de l'orifice supérieur des carters de moteurs, orifice destiné au remplissage huile ou tout autre lubrifiant. The device, object of 1 invention, includes a plug universally used for closing the upper orifice of the motor casings, orifice intended for filling oil or any other lubricant.

La partie supérieure dudit bouchon a été modifiée de façon supporter un organe essuyeur de jauge à sa partie supérieure, d'un part, et à ménager des conduits à évacuation centrale des produits d'essuyage dans le carter dont ils sont issus. The upper part of said plug has been modified so as to support a gauge wiper member at its upper part, on the one hand, and to provide conduits for central evacuation of the wiping products in the casing from which they come.

L'essuyeur de jauge, amovible et remplaçable après usure est maintenu par des supports, venus de moulage, à la partie supérieure du bouchon. I1 comporte un étui contenant deux corps identiques en matière plastique spongieuse inattaquables par les produits pétroliers. The gauge wiper, removable and replaceable after wear, is held by supports, molded, at the top of the cap. It has a case containing two identical bodies made of spongy plastic material which cannot be attacked by petroleum products.

I1 suffit d'introduire la jauge à nettoyer, verticalement et du coté le plus proche de la poignée, entre les corps spongieux donc élastiques,de tirer ladite jauge vers soi pour qu'elle soit débarrassée du lubrifiant qui la souille sur toute sa longueur du fait de l'éclaboussure due à la rotation du vilebrequin du moteur. It suffices to introduce the dipstick to be cleaned, vertically and on the side closest to the handle, between the spongy and therefore elastic bodies, to pull the dipstick towards you so that it is free of the lubricant which contaminates it over its entire length. made of splash due to rotation of the engine crankshaft.

La jauge sort nette avec seulement les gestes d'une seule main, on peut alors replonger la jauge et la sortir de son conduit pour lire le niveau d'huile du moment.  The dipstick comes out clean with only one hand gestures, you can then lower the dipstick and take it out of its duct to read the current oil level.

Des détails originaux seront donnés dans la description qui suit, d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention. Original details will be given in the following description of an embodiment of the invention.
