A tarima verve-SEEING; METER;
Application led February 16, 192,6; Serial No. 88,527.
This invention relates to valve spring litters whichV are adapted for, compressing the helical spring 'around the rstem yof `the valve of a engine for the purpose of 'freen ing from the spring pressure'pthe 4cross-pin orcotter-pin which holds the: spring on the valve stem, so that y the said pin may be readily removed to enable the removal of the spring Vand the valve'. of" the present invention is to provide simple and eiiiei'ent operatinov means for the working jaws of the device, adaptedv to be held-in the itslength aloc'ling dog having a plurality i of teetlrsetreversely to the yteeth of the tion betweenl "and vFig- 6 rack,I the dog being( so constructed and operable that when the dog is* released bythe operator its spring willucause av binding rela` theteeth of the* dog and-a biting edge ofy the dog on the lui'itoothed edlgreoffthel rack. g
These being among the objects of Vthe presentiinvention,thesame Consists of certain features ofconstruction and Combinations of parts 'to be hereinafter described and i then claimed with reference tothev aco-empanying drawings illustrating Lthe prefer-red form of the invention andin which, f y
Fig. 1 isa side elevation of the improved valve spring lifting tool show-ingit in `actual use, parts of the engine being shown in elevation 'and parts in section;
Fig.` 2 is aly top plan view? of the device; Eig. 3 is a detaflsectional view 'ehowing the locking dogfandtraol released so that the jaws of the two maybe adjusted; l
Fig,-4"is a" section konthe line Fig.. 1 ;y Fig. 5=is a section on the line 5-i-5 Fig.1; l is a broken' detail view illustrating a modified jawl locking and releasingv niechanism;
l Referring to Fig. 1,1the portion yl of the engine, valve 11, valve stem 12,
Awith the guide post or member One ofthe objects' a very efrcient ,adapted helical valve-'w seating spring 13, spring. retaining cup 14' and securingpinl 1li' are illustratedtogether y 16 inV which the valve stem push rod is guided, These part-s ortheirequivalents are Sowell known inthe gas `engineart that'theutility 'ofthe improved valvespring lifteriaccording to the present invention 'will become readily apparentl to those skilled in theart; i f
y The improved valve spring'lifter or toolv of the present invention comprises apair'o'f arms l?, 18 and theerm 17: may' be Cork y sidered the'upper arm,A and theharm'lS the lower one, said arms being connected atV their innerends a pivot 19. Riveted or other@ wise'rigidly secured to the arms l17, 18 are levers 21, respectively, their points Aof attachment to the Yarms being "in adi'iancel o f the pivot 19, that is, sulelrpointsare locatedV between the pivot 19 and' the Vopposite ends of the armsl 1T, 18. ljl'andles` 22, 23 are pro'- vided at theouter ends of the levers 20, 21,
to be conveniently and mutually grasped by one hand, andthe location of the pivot 19 4with respect to the points where the power is applied to the arinsl, 18 issuch that a. considerable leverage Canbe obtained on the arms by means of the levers 20 21. leihen the handles areY bro 'ight together-the outer' ends of the` arms willbe spreadapart,V and vice versa; i "Y in arcuate link member ouracl; 2l is pivoted preferably to the lever 21`for the arm 18, by means of a pivotf, so that'the said racl 2li maybe positioned to extendtoward-s the other lever 20, whereatvthe locking means are arranged which cooperate with the raclr. The raek'shown in Figs.` 1 and 3 is bowed in a direction away from theconv aov necting pivot 19, and at the outwardly curved Y edge of the rackl it ofratlchet teeth 25, which extend over considerable length oft-he rack` A locking dog is mounted for pivotal'movement on the stud Y S28 extending fromy the lever 20,' andV is" provided with a lseries v said dog isi provided with aahook-lile guide rwhichl l receives portion Y,29' at' its outerend 24a Thereby and guides Ythe pivoted *rack valso,the backofithe'raok is adapted to engage the extremevv outer. portion of the guide 29. The general inclination or the effect ,of
shoulders 'of/'g the ratchet teeth 'are disposed towards the pivot of the raclrand'thaft the posi-tively and i"eliably-'h eld in their outwardly spread position.
` Referring to rl" ig. 6 wherein a modification of the jaw adjusting andV locking means is shown the handle levers 52, 53 will be understood to be attached to arms 17, 18 similar to those before described. ,A rack member 54 is pivoted to thelever 58, but in this moditication the rack is bowedV in the direction oli the handles ,of the tool while the ratchet teeth thereof 'face in the direction of the arms which carry the jaws. provided with a guide 56 and connected by a pivot stud 57 with the lever 52, and said dog is provided with a thumb-piece 58. The
ktension spring 59 connects the dog with the lever 52 and has a tendency 'to' cause the tooth Ga of the dog to bite between the teeth 5a-av o the series of ratchet teeth. The use and action of this modilied construction or' adjusting and locking mechanism should be clear without Jfurther description.
Obviously the invention is susceptible to modification, as parts may be omitted,
added and substituted without departing from the scope of theappended claims.
