Abstract
Description
- The present invention is directed to an ergonomically configured can for a spin-on filter cartridge and a wrench for use therewith. More particularly, the present invention is directed to such a can and wrench which facilitate removing spin-on oil filters by providing a structure which provides a good manual grip as well as a convenient surface for attaching a wrench.
- Almost all lubrication oil filters for light vehicles such as passenger cars and light trucks utilize spin-on filter cartridges in which oil filters have a base plate with a threaded bore therethrough and, the base plate having an annular gasket which fits around the threaded bore adjacent the periphery of the base plate. While spin-on lubrication cartridges are relatively easy to mount by simply spinning or turning the cartridge by hand, they can be very difficult to remove by hand when it is time for replacement because the gasket can exert a substantial axial force and because the threads tend to bind. Accordingly, it is frequently necessary to use a band type wrench which fits around the cartridge in order to apply sufficient torque to the cartridge to break the bond which is formed between the cartridge and the engine.
- Applying the wrench is at least slightly frustrating and consumes time. Accordingly, there is a need for a spin-on canister which can be both mounted and removed by hand without the use of a wrench. Since spin-on canisters may from time to time become stuck so that they are still difficult to remove by hand, there is also a need for a more conveniently useable tool or wrench which enables a mechanic to conveniently assert additional force in case gripping the canister by hand does not work to remove the canister.
- In view of the aforementioned considerations, the present invention is directed to a can for containing a filter element of a spin-on filter cartridge, wherein the spin-on filter cartridge has a base plate with a threaded port therethrough and an annular gasket thereon, the threaded port and annular gasket tightly coupling the cartridge to an engine. The can has a first end and a second end wherein the first end includes a base plate for coupling the cartridge to the engine with at least a selected level of torque. The second end of the can has a gripping portion wherein the gripping portion includes seven flutes with each flute having an axially extending, concave wall which opens axially through the second end of the can to facilitate gripping of the can.
- In a more specific aspect, the flutes terminate in bottom shelves which extend radially inward from a cylindrical outer wall surface of the can.
- In still a more specific aspect of the invention, the flutes are spaced from one another by arcuate segments in the outer cylindrical wall surface of the can.
- In still another aspect of the invention a wrench is provided for rotating spin-on cartridges about their axes wherein the wrench has a socket having a shape complimenting the shape of the gripping portion of the can, whereby when the gripping portion of the can is received within the socket of the wrench the wrench can be used to rotate the spin-on filter cartridge.
- In still a further aspect of the invention, the wrench includes a handle extending therefrom. Preferably the handle comprised of a stem fixed to the end of the socket with a knob fixed to the end of the stem.
- Various features and attendant advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a filter cartridge with portions in lines, the filter cartridge having a can configured in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the filter cartridge of FIG. 1 with portions in dotted lines;
- FIG. 3 is an end view of the filter cartridge of FIGS.1-2;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a tool used with the filter cartridge of FIGS.1-3;
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the tool shown in FIG. 4, and
- FIG. 6 is a top view of the tool shown in FIG. 4-5.
- Referring now to FIGS.1-3 there is shown a spin-on
filter cartridge 10 having acan 12 for providing a better housing configured in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The spin-onfilter cartridge 10 has a base plate 14 which closes the open end of thecan 12 and includes a threadedbore 16 which is coaxial with theaxis 18 of the spin-on cartridge. The threadedport 18 receives a threaded stud (not shown) projecting from an internal combustion engine (not shown) and retains thefilter cartridge 10 in sealing relationship with the internal combustion engine by movement in the axial direction to compress anannular gasket 22 against the engine. Normally, thefilter cartridge 10 is mounted on the engine by rotating it about theaxis 20 by hand and then hand tighteningcartridge 10 in order to compress aseal 22 sufficiently to prevent leakage of oil and to firmly seat thefilter cartridge 10 against the engine. - After being hand tightened, the
filter cartridge 10 can become seated with enough sufficient force to make it is very difficult, or practically impossible, to unseat the filter cartridge by hand in order to remove the filter cartridge when it is time for replacement. In view of this difficulty, thecan 12 has asecond end 30 which has a gripping portion 32 adjacent thereto. The gripping portion 32 is defined by sevenconcave flutes 34. Eachflute 34 has an axially extendingconcave wall 36 which opens axially through thesecond end 30 of thecan 10 which is closed by adomed end surface 38. As is readily seen in FIG. 3, eachflute 34 terminates in a radially extending, preferably slopingshelf 40 which extends transverse to the axially extending flute. Theflutes 34 are separated byarcuate wall portions 42 of acylindrical wall 44 which comprises the major axial extent of thecan 12. Each flute has a maximum depth 45 which is defined by the difference between the outside diameter “D” of thecan 12 and the minor diameter “d” of theflutes 34. - Spin on rotating
filter cartridges 10 are generally provided in two sizes as exemplified by the following Examples A and B. -
Overall axial length of can 12 5.106 inches Length of gripping portion 32 1.250 inches Outside radius of can 12 3.668 inches Minor diameter “d” of flutes 343.293 inches Ratio of the minor diameter “d” of flutes 3489.8% to the outside diameter “D” of the can Radius of flutes 342.447 inches Depth of flutes 340.188 inch -
Overall axial length of can 12 4.759 inches Length of gripping portion 32 1.250 inches Outside radius of can 12 2.897 inches Minor diameter “d” of flutes 342.560 inches Ratio of the minor diameter “d” 87.7% of the flutes 34 to the outsidediameter “D”of the can 12Radius of flutes 342.447 inches Depth of flutes34 0.188 inch - From these dimensions, it is seen that the axial length of the
can 12 can vary considerably to providefilter cartridges 10 of various volumes. However, in order to be ergonomically correct, theflutes 34 have a depth in a range of about 0.170 to about 0.195 inches and preferably in the range of about 0.180 to 0.190 inch which accommodates the specific depths 0.188 inch of Examples A and B. The axial length of theflutes 34 is in the range of 1.150 to 1.350 inch with the about 1.250 inch length of examples A and B being preferred. The ratio of the minor diameter “d” of the flutes the outside diameter “D” of thecan 12 is in the range of 85 to 95% with the preferable range being about 87 to 90% which encompasses the ratios of 89.8% and 87.7% of Examples A and B. - These dimensional parameters provide a gripping portion32 which is ergonomically correct for the hands of mechanics and vehicle owners who usually change oil filters. Consequently, under most circumstances the spin-on filter cartridges can be removed by hand without resorting to a wrench.
- Referring now to FIGS.4-6 where a
tool 50 configured as a socket wrench is shown,tool 50 includes asocket portion 52 and ahandle portion 54.Socket portion 52 is defined by a radially extending;domed end plate 56 which has an axially extendingrim 58. The axially extendingrim 58 has firstarcuate portions 60 each having aninner wall surface 62 which compliment the concavearcuate walls 36 of theflutes 34 andsecond portions 64 which haveinner surfaces 66 that complimentarcuate wall portions 42. Consequently, thesocket 52 of thewrench 50 slides axially over the gripping portion of thecan 12 to establish a non-rotational relationship therewith. - In order to conveniently rotate the
tool 50, thehandle 54 is comprised of a knob 70 having four flutes 72 formed therein to facilitate easy gripping of the knob. The knob 70 is preferably fixed to thedomed end 56 of thesocket 52 by a stem 72 to form a ridged specialty tool or wrench for applying torque to thefilter cartridge 10 in order to remove the spin oncartridge 10 from an engine for replacement. - From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions.
