PATENT OFFICE.

FRED E. SMITH, OF HOUSTON, TEXAS.

BUSHING EXTRACTOR.

Application filed April 3, 1923. Serial No. 629,586.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED H. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Houston, inthe county of Harris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bushing Extractors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a bushing extractor.

One object of the invention is to provide an extractor of the character described specially designed for the purpose of removing the bushing from the spindle body of a Ford automobile.

Another object of the invention is to provide an extractor of the character described which is of Very simple construction, which may be cheaply and easily manufactured and readily applied in use.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to cer tain novel features of construction, operation, and arrangement of parts, and example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

wherein Figure 1 shows a plan view of one of the halves or sections of the extractor.

Figure 2 shows an end view thereof.

Figure 3 shows an edge view thereof.

Figure 4: shows a longitudinal sectional view of the spindle body, showing the position the halves or sections of the extractor must assume before they are brought into operative position and,

Figure 5 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a spindle body with the extractor therein in position for use.

In the drawings the numeral 1 designates a spindle body which is tubular in form and which has the end bushings 2 and 3 therein. These bushings must, at times, be extracted or removed for repairs and replacements. For this purpose I have provided an extractor formed of the halves or section t and 5. When these sections are fitted together they form an enlarged head 6 which is adapted to abut against the inner end of the bushing, when it is desired to remove the same, as illustrated in Figure 5. The inner sides of the sections 4 and 5 are cut away as at 7 and 8 forming what might be termed countersunk portions. In order to insert the extractor they are placed together with the fiat sides against each other, and the head of one section drawn back or away from the head of the other section until it rests in the countersunk portion of the latter, as illustrated in Figure 4, and the entire device is then inserted through the bushing to be drawn until the gauge notch 9 or 10, as the case may be, of the one last to enter comes opposite the outer end of the bushing. The other section is then drawn back to like position, that is until the gauge notches 9 and 10 are opposite each other. The head 6 will then assume the position shown in Figure 5 resting against the inner end of the bushing, and a punch may then be inserted through the opposite end of the spindle body and against the extractor and the bushing may be then easily driven out.

What I claim is 1. A bushing extractor including a body formed of two sections, an enlarged head at one end of said body forming an annular shoulder, a deep slot at the other end of said body, said sections being formed with fiat faces, at the enlarged end which fit together when the extractor is in use.

2. A bushing extractor formed of two lengthwise sections having flat faces which fit together at one end, an enlarged head carried by said end forming an abrupt shoulder, said faces being spaced apart at the other end forming a deep slot, the spaced faces being gauged.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FRED H. SMITH. Witnesses:

J AS. W. OLIVER, E. V. HARDWAY.
