OIIl-PIPE CLEANER.

Application filed May 3, 1924. Serial No. 710,826.

T 0 oil whom it 7770]] concern:

Be it known that I, HOMER O. PnNon, a citizen of the United States, residing at access may be,had with adjacent parts of the engine and particularly the tube 11. This plate is fastened in place by the usual Spring Valley, in the county of Pierce and screws or fastenings 18, which pass through 6 State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Pipe Cleaners; and I do hereby declare the following to be :2 full, clear, and exact description otthe invention, such as will enable 0 others skilled in the art to which it uppertains to melts and use the same.

sive, efficient and which may be readily applied.

Another object is to provide a construction wherein an air connection with the, pipens-eilected by means of a movable;

It is aimed to provide a simple, inexpendurable construction openings in the case '15 and a U-shaped reinforcing frame 19 inwardly of the easing and surrounding the opening 17.

In carrying out my invention, the discharge or end of the oil pipe 11 tox n appropriate extent is removed as by the use of a hack saw, adjacent the timing gezu' 14. In place of the removed portion of the pipe 11, I provide a pipe or conduit as at having an' enlarged end portion 21 adapted to telescope over the adjacent end of the pipe 11 removably, as shown in Figure 1. Thhs a passage for the oil'to the timing gear 14 is reestablished.

- Cast integral or otherwise provided rigid with the pipe 20 is an upstanding tube 22 piston or tube having disnlined outlet openhaving its bore in communication with the ings to register at different times with the f bore of pipe 20.

different portions of the pipe to concentrate rests on the frame 19 and is secured'thereto the sir pressure at one side or the other.

By Way of example, an engine of a. Ford automobile is shown at 10, which as usualutilizes an oil pipe or tube 11 hsving an inlet at '12 adapted to catch oil splashed by the fly Wheel and magneto 18 and to convey it to timing gearing as at 14. The cesing of the on me is designated 15 and .as ate at its bottom as at 16 re usual has a The more specific objects and advantages, will become apparent from a. consideration: of the description following taken in eon-Y of nection with the accompanying drawings il- Figure at is sview similar to Figure-3 showing the piston valve in another post- --e Lion.

Like reference chsrncters designate like by an elbow coupling 23.

This coupling 23 has a screw-threaded the screws 18 and is used instead of the same. The lower portion of the tube or standnrd 22 is recessed and screw-threaded as at 25 so as .to be engaged by the boss 24 and thus clamped in place.

ump such as is used ave its discharge 1105B? iston 29 has a'check valve inthe' form 0 a. ball 31 at its upper end to pre-;

vent flow of the oil out of its course (low n" movebly closing an opening through which '1 during reciprocation of the piston are posite crir' ctions, as contrasted by Figures l Piston 253 is adapted to be operated in any suitable manner as by means of a rod 35 connected thereto and passing slidz'rbly through an opening 36 in elbow It will be seen that the attachment may be readily applied to the pipe 11 and held in place by "the elbow coupling 23 which in effect serves as the setscrew 18 which it replaces;

In operation of the engine, the oil flows as usual through the pipe 11. In view of my improvemenls, it discharges into the pipe 550 and from the same engages the timing-g geerinu at 1%. Displacement of the oil downwarl'hy into the standard 22 is prerented by the check valve 32. Should pipe 11 or become clogged, cup 2? is removed, and. a source of compressed air supply con-' nectcd the end 26. With the air under pressure entering" the elbow 26 and standard the rod is rcciprocatcd so as to reg is =;er the openings and 84-, respectively, and ltcrnately with the pipes 11 and 20 so that :1 the compressed air will dislodge any ob- .struction. As the compressed air enters out one pipe at a time, the force is conccn tretcd in that pipe and also a series of ra ndly successive blasts of air may be impractice of the imention inasmuch as it is capable of use generally for cleaning oil or other conduits or removing obstructions therefrom.

What is claimed is 1. An appliance of the class described having a pipe for connection with a conduit, a standard having a bore in communication with said pipe, said standard being adapted for connection to a source of pressure supply, and means operable through movement in the same direction to direct the pressure in a )luralit 1 of directions but in a sin lov direction at a time with respect to said pipe, consisting ot a tubular member, said inomber having outlet ports disalined trans and an operating rodi'or said member slidable through "said elbow. v
