Oil changing and lubricating apparatus

Claim 2

A housing for an oil changing and lubricating system for a vehicle, said housing cooperating with impeller means to define therewith a pump, said housing comprising: (a) a cavity formed therein to receive said impeller means, said cavity being adapted to cooperate with said impeller means to induce a pumping action upon rotation of said impeller means; (b) an inlet and outlet port each opening through said housing into said cavity for fluid communication therewith; (c) an outer portion having a plurality of apertures formed therethrough, each of said apertures being adapted to fixedly receive grease fittings therein; and (d) cover means to cover and seal said cavity when said impeller means are disposed therein.

Claim 3

An oil draining and lubricating system adapted for connection as an accessory to a vehicle having an engine with an oil reservoir and an oil reservoir drain opening and points on said vehicle requiring lubrication, said system comprising: impeller means and an axially extending spindle connected thereto; a rigid housing including: (a) a cavity formed therein to receive said impeller, said impeller and cavity cooperating to define therebetween a pump for draining oil from said reservoir, said pump being actuated by rotation of said spindle; (b) an inlet and an outlet port each opening through said housing into said cavity for fluid communication therewith; (c) an outer portion having a plurality of apertures formed therein; (d) cover means to seal said cavity; and (e) guide means having an aperture through which said spindle rotatably extends in fluid-tight relationship; tubing means connected at one end thereof to said intake port and at the other end thereof to said oil reservoir; a flexible hose leading from said outlet port for disposing of oil drained from said oil reservoir; grease fittings provided in each of said apertures formed in the outer portion of said housing; and a high pressure flexible tube leading from each of said grease fittings for connection to respective ones of said points on said vehicle requiring lubrication to permit the delivery of lubricant thereto.

Claim 4

An oil draining and lubricating system adapted for connection as an accessory to a vehicle having an engine with an oil reservoir and an oil reservoir drain opening and points on said vehicle requiring lubrication, said system comprising: impeller means and an axially extending spindle connected thereto; a rigid housing including: (a) a cavity formed therein to receive said impeller, said impeller and cavity cooperating to define therebetween a pump for draining oil from said reservoir, said pump being actuated by rotation of said spindle; (b) an inlet and an outlet port each opening through said housing into said cavity for fluid communication therewith; (c) an outer portion having a plurality of apertures formed therein; (d) cover means to seal said cavity; and (e) guide means having an aperture through which said spindle rotatably extends in fluid-tight relationship; tubing means connected at one end thereof to said intake port and at the other end thereof to said oil reservoir; a flexible hose leading from said outlet port for disposing of oil drained from said oil reservoir; grease fittings provided in each of said apertures formed in the outer portion of said housing; and a high pressure flexible tube leading from each of said grease fittings for connection to respective ones of said points on said vehicle requiring lubrication to permit the delivery of lubricant thereto.

Claim 5

The system of claim 2 wherein each of said apertures is adapted at one end thereof to receive a grease nipple therein and at the other end for compression nut means to which is connected said high pressure flexible tube.

Claim 6

The system of claim 3 wherein said housing is shaped as a cylindrical disc having an upper and lower surface, said cavity being formed in said upper surface at substantially the center thereof to extend partially through said disc towards said lower surface.

Claim 7

The system of claim 4 wherein said cover means are secured to said upper surface of said housing to seal said cavity in cooperation with gasket means, said guide means being formed on said cover means to permit said spindle means to extend therethrough.

Claim 8

The system of claim 5 wherein said plurality of apertures formed in said outer portion are disposed annular about said cavity.

Claim 9

The system of claim 3 wherein said housing is shaped as a cylindrical disc having an upper and lower surface, said cavity being formed in said lower surface at substantially the center thereof to extend partially through said disc towards said upper surface.

Claim 10

The system of claim 7 wherein said cover means are secured to said lower surface of the disc to seal said cavity in cooperation with gasket means.

Claim 11

The system of claim 8 wherein said guide means are formed on said upper surface of said housing, whereby said spindle extends through said upper surface and said aperture in said guide means.

Claim 12

The system of claim 9 wherein said cover means is secured to said lower surface by means of said compression nut means.

Claim 13

They system of claim 10 further including motor means to engage and rotate said spindle and said impeller means connected thereto.
