Specification of Letters atent.
Patented July iii, i920.
Application filed December 3, 1921. Serial No. 519,670.
T all iff/'tom t may concern.'
Be it known that l, SHERMAN T. liiNnnL, a citizen ot' the United States. residing at Los Angeles, in the county oi Los Angeles and State of California. have invented new and useful improvements in Gauge-Coci- Operating Tools. of which the following` is a speciiication.
My invention relates to tools tor operating` oil gauge eoclts of the Ford type, and it is a purpose of iny invention to provide a tool ot this character which is adapted to be associated with an autoniol'iile in such manner that it can be operated troni a point at the side ot 'the car so as to eliminate the necessity ot the operator crawling under the car to open the cocks, as is now the present practice. lt is also a purpose of niy inven tion to provide a gauge cock operating tool which can be associated with an automobile to constitute an integral part thereot and to he securely held against rattling.
l will describe one Ytorni ot tool einbodying niy invention and will then point out the novel features thereof in claim.
In the accompanying drawings.
Figure l is a view showing a portion of a Ford automobile having applied thereto one forni ot tool embodying my invention.
Fig. is a fragmentary sectiona view ot certain parts of 'the automobile shown in Fig. l, with the tool in applied position.
F ig. 3 is an enlarged detail view showing the socket end of the tool shown in the preceding views.
Referring specilically to the drawings in .vhiih siinilar reference cnaracters reter to similar parts. iny invention, in its present embodiment. comprises a shanlr l5 toi-ined of relatively rigid wire bent at right a Y. at one end to provide handle i6. while its opposite end is bent at right angles as indicated at l?" vfhere it is then coiled upon. itself to provide a socket i8 disposed at ight angles to the shanlr l5. rhe shank carries a coiled expansible spring i9 wnich is eonlined between the handle i6 and Cotter pin 2O tended through a suitable opening formed in the shank.
in l and l type of magneto c eine have shown Ford D designated at l and Ahich. as usual. is provided with a lower gauge cock C and an upper gauge cocl; C Lvhich are designed tor the purpose ot deter- '.iining the amount of oil contained in the casing.
in the applied position of the tool as shown in Figs. l and Q, the shanlr l5 is slidably litted in an opening torrned in the running board apron designated at EL. This opening is disposed in horizontal alinenient with the lower cock C7 and with the tool in applied position the handle i6 proj cts to the outer side ot the apron A. to allow or the ready manipulation ot the tool troni a point exterior ot the car body. The spring i9 is located between the eotterpin and the inner sine of the apron .ri so that it norinally tends to urge the tool downwardly toward the casing K. The socket i8 is adapted to receive either ot the handles 2l ot' the cocks C and C. but normally receives the handle ot the cock C. as this is the cock which is nient frequently used in determinthe amount ot oil within the casing. Under the action of the spring 19 the socket i8 is held in engagement with either of the handles so that all that is necessary to effect an opening ot the cocks is to rotate the handle lli thereby imparting a siinilar ino'veinent of the soclret i8 to turn tl e han- (Ille Ell. The opening` in the apron i sufnc ntly wide to allow of the tool being ehrt d to the handle of either coclr as is shown in f2. and when the tool not in operation it assumes a horizontal position with the soelze receiving the handle ot vthe coclr C. The spring i9 not only serves to facilitate the manipulation oi the tool. but prevents the latter frein rattling'.
.lthough l have herein shown and described only one 'torni ot gauge eoclr operation tool embodying iny invention. it is to be understood that various changes and modifications inay be inade herein (without departing troni the spirit ot' the invention sind the spirit and scope of the appended claini.
l claini as iny invention:
ln combination. a "i agneto casing having gauge cocls arranged one above the other a running board apron having` an opening` in horizontal alineinent with one of the cocks. and an oiierating tool niovablv sustained in the opening' to be alternately applied to the eoels for aetuatir y the la l, i, and means vtor ui ng' the tool inwardly towart.- said cocks.
ln testimony whereof .l have signed niy name to this specification.
