Definitions

  • This invention relates to a marine drive having an improved engine oil drain system.
  • an oil pan is often mounted beneath the engine and extends downwardly toward the bottom of the boat.
  • the present invention therefore provides a marine drive arrangement for a boat, the combination comprising, an inboard engine, an oil pan disposed on said engine, collapsible oil storage means adapted to be supported within the boat, said oil storage means being shape conforming to the shape of essentially any support within the boat on which said oil storage means rests, and means connecting said oil storage means with the interior of said oil pan.
  • the present invention further provides for use with a marine drive arrangement for a boat and wherein said arrangement includes an inboard engine having an oil pan, collapsible flexible oil storage means adapted to be fluidly connected to the interior of the said oil pan for receiving used oil from the latter, said oil storage means being shape conforming to the shape of essentially any support within the boat on which said oil storage means rests.
  • an oil pan is sus ⁇ pended beneath the engine, and is connectable through a flexible tube to a collapsible shape-conforming oil- receiving and storage bladder which is adapted to be easily placed in the confining space between the oil pan and the boat floor.
  • the bladder will conform to the shape of essenti ⁇ ally any support, smch. as upwardly extending projections of various contours, and in another embodiment includes a grasping handle for convenience.
  • a flow control device is disposed between the oil pan and bladder.
  • the connecting tube is mounted adjacent the bottom of the oil pan.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic side elevational view of .a marine drive system which incorporates the various aspects of the invention
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary transverse sectional view of a collapsible bladder disposed between stringers in the bottom of the boat;
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 of a bladder disposed over a stringer
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a second embodiment.
  • a marine drive arrangement which in the present instance includes a stern drive unit 1 adapted to be suitably mounted to the transom 2 of a boat 3 having a bottom floor 4.
  • An internal combustion marine engine 5 is disposed inboard of boat 3, in this instance at the boat stern adjacent transom 2, and includes a drive output 6 which extends through the transom to unit 1 in the usual manner.
  • the marine drive and engine 5 include the usual circulating oil system, and an oil pan 7 having a bottom 8 is suitably suspended from the engine so that it extends downwardly toward boat floor 4.
  • the space 9 between floor 4 and bottom 8 is often relatively confined.
  • a collapsible shape-conforming oil-receiving and storage bladder 10 is provided, with bladder 10 having a relatively thin generally flexible main body portion 11 and a thicker enlarged neck portion 12 terminating in an end closure 13.
  • Bladder 10 may be made of any suitable material, such as neoprene.
  • the collapsibility of bladder 10 is such that it may be manually flattened for squeezing into and positioning within space 9.
  • Means are provided to selectively connect bladder 10 with the interior of oil pan 7.
  • an "on-off" control valve 14 is mounted adjacent pan bottom 8 and connected to the interior of the pan.
  • valve 14 is manually actuatable and is mounted directly to pan bottom 8.
  • a flexible fluid flow tube 15 is suitably connected at one end to valve 14.
  • the other tube end 16 is removably and tightly fit into an opening 17 in bladder end closure 13,
  • a vent tube 18 is tightly fit within a second opening 19 in closure 13 and permits- communication between the bladder interior and the outside.
  • Bladder IQ being disposed within boat 3. and below engine 5, serves as a standby unit which is available at any time for use during an oil change procedure. W en an oil change is desired, control valve 14 is opened which permits oil to flow from oil pan 7 and through, tube 15 and into bladder 10.' As this occurs, air within the hladder vents out through tube 18. Valve 14 is then closed. Bladder 10 subsequently serves, as an oil storage device until there is a convenient place and time for dumping the hladder. At such time, tube 15 is removed and oil is dumped out through opening 17.
  • bladder 10 is such, that it will conform to the contour or shape of essentially any support within the boat including the boat floor and anything sitting on and projecting upwardly from the floor itself. This is true whether bladder 10 is empty or full. As shown in Figure 2, bladder 10 is positioned so that its main body 11 is conformingly disposed in a pocket 20 formed by boat floor 4 and a pair of spaced parallel longitudinal stringers 21. In Figure 3, bladder 10 is shown as draped over a single stringer 22.
  • bladder 10 includes a manually graspable handle for ease of manipulation.
  • end closure portion 13 on the bladder neck is provided with a peripheral enlargement 23 which in and of itself forms a suitable handle.
  • Figure 4 illustrates another embodiment wherein a somewhat smaller peripheral enlargement 24 is disposed in association with closure 13, and a separate ring 25 is disposed therebeneath and mounts a bail-like handle 26.
  • the various aspects of the invention provide a unique drain system for inboard mounted marine engines.

Abstract

Un entraînement marin comprend un moteur (5) monté en dedans du bord d'un bateau (3). Un carter d'huile (7) est suspendu en dessous du moteur, et peut être relié par un tube souple (15) à une vessie (10) de réception et de stockage d'huile repliable de forme malléable, adaptée pour être placée facilement dans l'espace de confinement (9) situé entre le carter d'huile et le plancher du bateau. Ladite vessie s'adapte à la forme de n'importe quel support, tel que des saillies (21, 22) s'étendant vers le haut de divers contours, et dans les présents modes de réalisation comprend une poignée de préhension (23, 26) de commodité. Un dispositif (14) de commande d'écoulement est disposé entre le carter d'huile et ladite vessie. En outre le tube de raccordement est monté adjacent au fond (8) du carter d'huile.
