DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radiator cap removing device for a motor vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a fueling station, in addition to supplying fuel oil to a customer's automobile, a tire check, an engine oil check, a radiator liquid check, and the like are performed.
In particular, in checking the radiator fluid, the radiator fluid of the automobile that has traveled is at a high temperature and high pressure. If the cap is inadvertently removed, the radiator fluid may boil and jump, causing an operator to be burned. Therefore, it is safe to wait for the temperature of the radiator liquid to drop before checking, but there is an inconvenience of waiting for the customer.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a radiator cap removing device which can safely remove the cap even when the radiator liquid of the automobile is at high temperature and high pressure.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a cap removing device for a radiator according to the present invention comprises a head for holding a cap, an arm for opening and closing the head, and an umbrella for covering the periphery of the head. It is composed of In this way, the head is covered with an umbrella, so even if the liquid boils from the mouth of the radiator and jumps, it is blocked by the umbrella, and the worker does not get burned and removes the cap safely Will be able to do it.

Since the umbrella is made of a transparent resin, the head and the cap can be seen through the umbrella, and the cap can be easily removed.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a cap removing device 1 for a radiator of a car includes a head 2 sandwiching a cap C, an arm 3 opening and closing the head 2, and an umbrella 4 covering the periphery of the head 2. Have been.

The head 2 and the arm 3 are composed of two members 5, 5 which are integrally formed. The members 5, 5 are rotatably stopped by hinges 6, and a spring 7 is provided on the arm 3 side. Provided and open biased. The head 2 is a radiator cap C
Are formed in an arc shape so as to be easily sandwiched. And
When the arm 3 is spread by the spring 7, the head 2 also spreads, and the spring 7
When the arm 3 is narrowed against the above, the head 2 is also narrowed.

The umbrella 4 is attached to the hinge 6 and is large enough to cover the head 2 with a margin. The umbrella 4 is made of a transparent resin so that a worker can see the head 2 and the cap C through the umbrella 4.

In order to remove the cap C of the radiator of the automobile with the cap remover 1 configured as described above, the head 2 is directed to the cap C, the arm 3 is narrowed against the spring 7, and the arm 2 is removed. When the is turned, the cap C gripped by the head 2 also turns and comes off the radiator opening R of the car.

In the operation of removing the cap C, even if the radiator liquid boils at a high temperature and a high pressure, the splashed liquid is blocked by the umbrella 4 and the operator is not burned. Further, since the umbrella 4 is transparent, the workability of removing the cap is not impaired.

When the radiator liquid check and the replenishment of the liquid based on this check are completed, the operation is completed by manually setting the cap C to the radiator opening R. When the temperature of the cap C is high, the cap removal tool 1
Can also be used to cap C.

[0012]

As described above, the cap removing device of the radiator of the present invention comprises a head for holding the cap, an arm for opening and closing the head, and an umbrella for covering the periphery of the head.
In this way, the head is covered with an umbrella, so even if the liquid boils from the mouth of the radiator and jumps, it is blocked by the umbrella, and the worker does not get burned and removes the cap safely Will be able to do it.
