Patented Dec. 29, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FRANK L. GRAY, OF TWISP, AND ROY H.;HU GHES, OF WINTI-IROP, WASHINGTON 01:. GAUGE non WII'ER Application filed March 21, 1931. Serial No. 524,360, I
"10 which will retain the oil wiped from the gauge rod so that the same will not drip onto the body of the engine and thus dirty the,
same.
Another object of the invention is to provide a wiper of simple design which may be easily and quickly applied to the engine head and which when in position will be out of the way and will not interfere with other parts of the machine. r V
The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part of the present invention with the understanding, however that the invention is not'confined to any strict conformity with the showing of the drawings but may be changed or modified so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the present invention showing the same applied. 7 Figure 2 is a view in top plan of the device as applied.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 83 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line H of Figure 3.
Referring more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 1 indicates generally the top of a portion of a motor vehicle engine head, showing the device embodying the present invention applied thereto, the device "being indicated generally by the numeral 2.
The device comprises a metal cylinder 3 which is closed at oneend and which has the to form the liead 14- as shown.
the edge thereof so as to facilitate grasping other end opened, the walls of thecylinder atdiametrically opposite points being longitudinally slotted, as indicated by the numerals 4 and 5, from the open end through a substantial portion of the length of the cylinder, 5
at the inner endof one of the slots, as for example the slot 4, is, joined to the cylinder-the metal strip or tongue 6 which extends toward the'open end of the cylinder and at an angle oblique thereto, the outer end of this tonguebo curving backwardly in the generaldirection of the closed end of the cylinder and'being turned so thatit will terminate to one side of the end which is attached to the cylinder; r
This oil'set end 7 of the curvedtongue 6, is provided with a longitudinal slot8 to receive one of the tap bolts 9of the engine head. As will'be seen,'by sliglitly twisting the reversely bent tongue Gso that the free end thereof will be offset with respect to the cylinder 3, it is possible to employ one of the engine head bolts to secure the device in position along side the engine body. Extended into the cylinder 3 fromthe open,
opposing faces of these felt bodies 12 are in V V relatively close relation so that they will firmly engage the faces of a gauge rod drawn therebetween, it of course being understood that the-slight space betweenthe felts opens at each longitudinal edge through a slot 4 or 5 of the casing.
' e The felt bodies 12 extend into the cylinder w '8 only a slight distance beyond the inner ends ofthe slots 4 and 5 so that the inner end of the cylinder acts as a receiving chamber for oil which has beenabsorbed by and which flows fromthc felt bodies.
In order to prevent the felt bodies from collecting dust and dirt; there is provided a cylindrical can 13, one end of which is closed 7 The closed end of the cap has a flange or pad 15 about of the cap for removal. The open end of the cap-has a short cut therein, as indicated at 16,
in which the inner or fixed end of thesupporting tongue 6 positions when the cap is;
in place over the end of the wiper.
From the foregoing it will be readily seen that the present oil gauge wiper may be readily mounted in any number of positions upon the body of a motor vehicle engine where it will be convenient for use and it will act to retain the oil absorbed by the felts as a gauge rod is drawn therebetween, so that the oil will not drip onto the body of the engine.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim is:
1. A gauge rod wiper comprising an elongated cylindrical body having one end open and having oppositely disposed slots formed therein from the open end and longitudinally thereof, a pair of absorbent bodies within the body disposed upon opposite sides of the plane in which said slots are located, the opposite end of said body being closed and forming an oil receiving chamber, and a supporting tongue connected at one end with the body and adapted to have its other end secured to a supporting structure, said supporting tongue being integral with the body at the inner end of one of the slots therein and curving upwardly and rearwardly from the body and having its free end directed laterally therefrom.
2. An oil gauge rod wiper comprising an elongated cylindrical body having one end open and having oppositely disposed longitudinal slots formed in the wall thereof at diametrically opposite points, a pair of absorbent bodies disposed within the body and upon opposite sides of the plane in which said slots are located, said bodies being of greater length than the slots and terminating at one end adjacent the open end of the cylindrical body and terminating at their other ends remote from the opposite end of the cylindrical body to form an oil receiving chamber, and an elongated tongue extending from within one slot from the bottom thereof outwardly away from the cylindrical body and having its free end directed substantially obliquely thereto and apertured to receive a holding element.
3. An oil gauge rod wiper comprising an elongated cylindrical body having one end open and having oppositely disposed longitudinal slots formed in the wall thereof at diametrically opposite points, a pair of absorbent bodies disposed within the body and upon opposite sides of the planein which said slots are located, said bodies being of greater In testimony whereof we hereunto afiix our signatures. FRANK L. GRAY.
