    摘要: An oil pan for an engine comprises a containment portion of unitary construction. The containment portion has a circumferential component defining a circumferential extent of the containment portion and comprising a pair of mutually opposing side walls. The containment portion also comprises a base wall extending inwardly from a first portion of the circumferential component and defining a lower extent of the containment portion. The oil pan also comprises an attachment portion comprising an attachment surface at a second portion of the circumferential component; a first plug portion on an interior of a first one of the pair of mutually opposing side walls at a first location; and a second plug portion on an interior of a second one of the pair of mutually opposing side walls at a second location. The first and second plug portions are configured to receive an oil syphon connector and the attachment portion has a rotational symmetry such that the attachment surface is connectable to an engine block in a first orientation and in a second orientation. The first and second plug portions are located such that an oil tube having a fixed location relative to the engine block aligns adjacent the first plug portion on attachment of the attachment portion to the engine block in the first orientation and aligns adjacent the second plug portion on attachment of the attachment portion to the engine block in the second orientation.

    摘要: A fluid catchment assembly for capturing fluids leaking from an internal combustion engine includes an oil pan structured to fit over a factory installed oil pan of an internal combustion engine thereby facilitating the oil pan to capture fluids that leak from the internal combustion engine. A sight glass is fluidly integrated into the oil pan thereby facilitating the sight glass to visually display a fluid level in the oil pan. A plug is insertable into the drain for closing the drain and a pair of attachments is each attached between the internal combustion engine and the oil pan. Each of the attachments releasably retains the oil pan on the internal combustion engine.

    摘要: Disclosed is a structure for attachment of a drain nut to a synthetic resin cover. The cover has a nut engagement portion formed in an outer surface of the cover, a cylindrical engagement portion formed with a plurality of piece parts on an inner surface of the cover, and a stepped portion formed between the nut and cylindrical engagement portions. The drain nut has a nut portion engaged in the nut engagement portion, a female thread portion formed in the nut portion for screw-in of a drain plug, a cylindrical portion formed concentrically with the nut portion and engaged in the cylindrical engagement portion, a large-diameter portion formed between the nut and cylindrical portions and engaged in the stepped portion, with an O-ring held between the large-diameter portion and stepped portion, and a collar portion formed around the cylindrical portion and retained by front ends of the piece parts.

    摘要: The invention relates to a plug (10) of the type used in threaded openings (AB) of oil pans (CT) of various vehicles. The plug (10) is made in a single piece (20), preferably of iron or other suitable material, the plug (10) having a six-sided head (21). An NPT threaded portion (23) in the shape of a truncated cone extends from the flat face (22) of the six-headed head (21) and has a base (23A) with an increased diameter (d1), the threaded portion extending along the axis (E1) with a slight taper such that the end portion (23B) has a reduced diameter (d2). The slight angle (#) formed by the threaded portion (23) provides gradual sealing points (PV) for punctually sealing damaged threaded openings (AB) of various oil pans (CT), thus preventing leakage of lubricant oil.

    摘要: The present invention provides an oil seal cap that can be attached to a part to be closed without any laborious and time-consuming step and can achieve an efficient oil passage operation such as an oil changing operation. An oil seal cap 30 includes: a body part 31 having a first hole 31a passing therethrough; a port part 32 provided on the body part 31 inside an outer circumferential part of the body part 31 when viewed in the passing-through direction of the first hole 31a, the port part 32 having a second hole 32a passing therethrough and extending in the same direction as the passing-through direction of the first hole 31a; and a plug member 33 configured to block the second hole 32a, the plug member 33 being removably mounted on the port part 32. The second hole 32a is opened, through the first hole 31a, toward a side opposed to a side where the port part 32 is provided on the body part 31; and a surface of the body part 32 is provided with a locking part 38a projecting with respect to the surface.

    摘要: The invention relates to a liquid transfer device including: a connecting element which is to sealably attached onto a liquid transfer opening and which includes a set of liquid transfer ports, an outlet, and a bore that extends between the transfer ports and the outlet; and an adapter which is to be connected to liquid discharge means and which includes a head shaped such as to be inserted into the outlet and including a set of holes for engaging with said ports. Said liquid transfer device includes a swing joint placed in the connecting element between the outlet and the liquid transfer ports and includes a set of liquid passages and a recess shaped such as to receive the head of the adapter in a position in which said passages of the joint and the holes of the adapter are aligned. Said joint is rotatably movable in the connecting element, between a closed position of the device and a liquid transfer position, by means of the head of the adapter.

    摘要: A lubrication/bleeder fitting (10) is provided including a cap (14), a body (12) having a first end (15) coupled to the cap, a second end (17) opposite the first end, and an axially extending cavity (40) extending between the first and second ends. The fitting also includes a poppet seat (50) in the axially extending cavity and a poppet (60) disposed in the axially extending cavity and having a nose portion to seat against the poppet seat. A resilient member (64) is disposed in the axially extending cavity between the poppet and the second end, and a spacer (66) is disposed in the axially extending cavity and seating an end of the resilient member opposite the poppet. The poppet is biased in a first position against the poppet seat by the resilient member to prevent fluid flow through the axially extending cavity.
