  • Patent number: 4062774
    Abstract: A filter device for straining brake fluid in a hydraulic brake system comprises a disk shaped core the opposite sides of which are attached to a cup shaped bowl. A filter element is secured to one side of the core in one bowl. Nipples integral with the core extend radially outward and communicate with radial bores in the core. The bores have axial portions opening at opposite sides of the core in the bowls. One pipe may connect the filter device to the reservoir of a master brake cylinder via one nipple, and another pipe may connect the filter device to a source of brake fluid via the other nipples. A bleed hole adapted to be closed by a removable screw is provided in the outer wall of each of the bowls. The filter element may have a porous body made of sintered metal and may have a cylindrical outer wall with a reetrant conical wall.

  • Patent number: 4004666
    Abstract: A reversible wrench has a handle integral with a ring shaped head. A reversing mechanism in the head includes a cup shaped member rotatable on a cam block carrying a tool holder. A rotatable control plate on the head has a depending pin engaged in a slot in an end wall of the cup shaped member. The cam block has an upstanding pin engaged in another slot in the end wall and contacting a leaf spring carried by the control plate. Slots in a cylindrical wall of the cup shaped member carry rollers adjacent the cam faces of the cam block. A finger grip on the control plate facilitates rotation of the control plate and rotation of the cup shaped member and rollers on the cam block to effect reversing action between the wrench head and the tool holder.
