Description

March 17, 1953 s. G. HoRlNKA AXLE RETRIEVER Filed April 6, 1950 ATTO RN EYB Patented Mar. 17, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE AXLE RETRIEVER Stephen G. Horinka, Beaver Falls, Pa.
Application April 6, 1950, Serial No. 154,276
3 Claims.
This invention relates to a tool particularly used in repairing motor vehicles, and in particular a tool having an elongated cylindrical casing with a gripping band at one end and means carried by the opposite end for contracting the band wherein with the tool inserted in the end of an axle housing the band is clamped over broken parts of axles so that broken parts of axles may be removed thereby.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for removing broken axles of motor vehicles without removing the axle housing.
Various devices have been provided for gripping broken sections of motor vehicle axles but with the usual type wherein ngers are extended from the end of a tubular casing it is difficult to obtain a'positive grip on the end of the axle. With this thought in mind this invention contemplates an expanding band carried by the end of a sleeve with means extended through the sleeve for contracting the band and thereby providing a positive clamp for gripping the end of the axle.
The object of this invention is, therefore, to provide a broken axle retrieving tool that may be actuated from the outer end with the inner end inserted in an axle housing so that a broken piece of an axle therein is positively gripped whereby it is removed with the tool.
Another object of the invention is to provide an axle retrieving tool that may be used in axle housings of motor vehicles without changing the design or construction of the axle or housing.
A further object of the invention is to provide an axle retrieving tool that positively clamps the end of an axle, which is of a simple and economical construction.
With these and other objects and advantages in view the invention embodies an elongated tubular casing having a knob on the outer end with a circular band extended from the inner end, a rod extended through the tube having ratchet teeth in the outer surface thereof and on the outer end of which the knob is xedly mounted, and means connecting the inner end of the rod to the band carried by the outer casing and also means for locking the rod in relation to the casing.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the tool.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through the tool with part of the rod extended through the tubular casing thereof shown in elevation.
Figure 3 is an end elevational View of the tool looking toward the end upon which the clamping band is positioned.
Figure 4 is a cross section through the tool taken online 4 4 of Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts the axle retrieving tool of this invention includes an elongated casing I0 having an actuating rod II therein, a split clamping band I'2 carried by the inner end of the casing I0, a knob I3 carried by the outer end of the rod II, and a pawl Ile pvotally mounted in a handle I5 extended from one side of the casing I0 and positioned to coact with ratchet teeth I6 in the rod Il.
The tubular casing I0 is formed with a socket I? having a beveled inner surface lI8 and the rod II is provided with a head I9 that is positioned in the socket and which is provided with a cylindrical flange which is provided with a slot 2| in which an end 22 of the band I2 is held by screws 23 and 24. The opposite end of the band ft2 is provided with an extension 25 through which the end of the band is attached to the end of the casing IU by screws 26 and 2'1.
The outer end of the rod Il is provided with a stud 28 which has flat sides and the knob I3 is xedly mounted on the stud whereby the rod may be rotated by hand.
The pawl I4 is pivotally mounted on a pin 29 between bearing sections 30 and 3| in the handle I5 and with the pawl positioned as shown in Figures 2 and 4 the inner end is held in engagement with the ratchet teeth I6 of the rod Il by the outer end or handle 32, thereof.
The handle I5 is formed with a split section 33 that is secured to the handle by a screw 34.
The knob I3 may be provided with a set screw 35 as shown in dotted lines in Figure 4 for securing Itlhe knob to the stud 28 at the end of the rod With the parts arranged in this manner the end of the tool on which the band I2 is positioned is inserted in the end of the housing of an axle and broken pieces of the axle are removed from the housing by placing the band I2 over the end of the broken axle and turning the knob I3 with one hand while the casing I0 is held by the other the axle is positively gripped by the band, or clamped through the band to the tool.
It will be understood that modifications may be made in the design land arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invenlon.
What is claimed is:
1. An axle removing tool comprising an elongated tubular casing having a split clamping band extended from one end thereof concentric therewith, means securing one end of the band to the casing, a rod having a knob on the outer end extended through the casing Iand rotatable therein, means attaching the opposite end of the band to the rod, and means locking the rod in rotated position in the casing.
2. An axle removing tool comprising an elongated tubular easing having a split clamping -band extended from one .end thereof, means securing one end of the band to the casing, a rod having a knob on the outer end extended through the casing and rotatable therein, means attaqhing the opposite end of the band to the rod, said casing having a handle extended from one side and said rod having ratchet teeth in the peripheral surface thereof positioned to correspond with the handle, and a pawl pivotally mounted in gtlieuhandie and positioned to engage the ratchet teeth of the rod from rotation for holding the rod in relation to the 'casing whereby the band on the end of the tool is retained in clamping relation with an object positioned therein.
3, In an axle removing tool, the combination which comprises an elongated tubular casing 'having a socket in one end and a handle extended lfrom one side, Aa rod having a. head thereon .positioned `in the socket o f the .casing .extended through the casing and ,journaled for rotation therein and having a stud extended from the end thereof opposite to that on which the head is positioned, said rod. having ratchet teeth in the peripheral surface thereof positioned to correspond with the handle of the casing, a pawl pivotally mounted in the handle of the casing and positioned to coact with the ratchet teeth of the rod to prevent the rotation of the rod in rotated position, a knob Vsecured on the stud on the end of the rod, and ,a band positioned substantially concentric to the casing and rod and extended `lfrom the inner end of the tool with one end of the ,band secured to the casing and the other to the 4rod through the head thereof.
