Combination oil plug wrench and integral oil filler

Claim 1

A combination oil plug wrench and integral oil filler for tightening and disengaging an oil plug of the type provided with a lawn mower and including a cap having a top and upstanding projection turning means extending upwardly from said top and adapted to be engaged for turning said oil plug with said upstanding projection turning means being relatively thin compared to the top of said cap and including spaced apart opposed ends so as to define a relatively thin and elongated turning area between said opposed ends, and wherein said oil filler may be utilized to funnel or channel oil from a container into an opening normally occupied by said oil plug, said combination oil plug wrench and integral oil filler comprising: a wrench end having a relative flat surface with opening means formed therein for receiving and encasing said upstanding projection turning means extending upwardly from said oil cap and for turning the same as said wrench end is rotated, said opening means of said wrench end including an opening for receiving and encasing the relatively thin and elongated turning area between said opposed ends of said turning means; a combination wrench handle and an elongated U-shaped oil filler section integrally constructed with said wrench end and extending therefrom, said oil filler section including an open ended oil channeling surface, an oil exiting end, and side retaining means that extend about said oil channeling surface for constraining the oil to flow essentially down said oil channeling surface towards said oil exiting end, and wherein said oil channeling surface and said side retaining means thereof form an elongated, generally U-shaped and partially open trough structure; and an oil receiver section means interposed between the relatively flat surface of said wrench end having said opening means formed therein and said filler section for receiving oil poured therein that is directed through said U-shaped filler section towards said exiting end, and wherein said oil receiver section means includes a generally U-shaped cross section with side retaining means integrally extended to join said side retaining means of said filler section and wherein the side retaining means of said oil receiver section means are generally uniformly inclined upwardly from said flat wrench end towards said filler section so as to define a generally horizontal resting surface about the upper edges thereof for supporting said container when said combination oil plug wrench and oil filler section is disposed at an appropriate incline for filling purposes.
