Device for bleeding brakes and refilling brake system

Claim 1

A brake fluid changing device for changing brake fluid and bleeding the brake system of automobiles and trucks, the device having a control unit affixed to an adjustable stand mounted on a platform on wheels, a brake fluid and air extractor unit mounted on the platform on wheels, a brake fluid application container affixed to the top of the control unit, the control unit having an electrical on/off switch with electrical conductors, a brake fluid application control valve, a vacuum meter indicator, a brake fluid and air extractor control valve, a brake fluid application container and a master cylinder brake reservior top with U-bolts, and controls means for controlling the operation of the fluid changing device, said control unit controlling the brake fluid and air extractor unit by the electrical on/off switch and a brake fluid and air control valve, the control unit of changing device controlling the brake fluid application by way of the brake fluid application control valve, the control unit being connected to the master cylinder brake reservior top by a heavy duty dual function extractor/application hose and the control unit being connected to the brake fluid and air extractor unit by a heavy duty vacuum hose, the brake fluid and air extractor unit of the fluid changing device having a vcuum pump, a brake fluid collection container, a brake fluid collection hose, a heavy duty vacuum hose, and a junction box, the vacuum pump of the extractor unit being connected to the control unit by a heavy duty vacuum hose, the vacuum pump being connected to the brake fluid collection container by a brake fluid collection hose, the junction box of the extractor unit being connected to the control unit by electrical conductors, the control unit of the brake fluid changing device controlling the action of the extractor unit such that the electrical on/off switch located on the control unit controls the suction action of the vacuum pump, with the master cylinder brake reservior top secured to the master cylinder of the vehicle, the on/off switch in the on position, the brake fluid application control valve in the closed position, and the brake fluid and air extractor control valve in the open position, the suction action of the vacuum pump causes the brake fluid and air to be extracted from the master cylinder of the motor vehicle's brake system, through the extractor/application hose to the control unit, through the heavy duty vacuum hose to the vacuum pump, through the brake fluid collection hose to the brake fluid collection container, new brake fluid being applied to the brake system by closing the brake fluid and air extractor control valve, by turning the electrical on/off switch to the off position, and by opening the brake fluid application control valve thereby new brake fluid travels from the brake fluid application container through the brake fluid application control valve to the control unit through the dual function extractor/application hose, through the master cylinder brake reservior top into the master cylinder into the motor vehicle brake system with the brake fluid application being closed when the master cylinder is full by pumping the brake pedal which pedal action causes brake fluid to be circulated throughout the brake system, and continuing this operation until brake fluid level in the brake fluid container stops dropping.
