UNITED STATES WAVERLY C. SHAV, OF EARLHAM, IOWA.

BEARI'NGr-SLEEVE REMOVER.

Application filed May 22,

To all whom it may camera Be it known that I, `WAVERLY C. SHAw, a citizen of the United States, residing at Earlhan, in the county of Madison and State ot Towa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bearing-Sleeve Removers, ot which the following is a specification.

In carrying out the present invention, it is my purpose to provide a tool that is specically adapted for removing the bearing sleeves within the rear aXles of the Ford type automobile.

It is now the general practice in removing these hearing sleeves to knock the same out through the medium of a cold chisel., which always results in the disruption of the sleeves and necessitating the discarding of the same. This procedure is also very tedious and requires a great deal of time, and oftentimes happens that the interier ot the axle is scored.

It is therefore, the primary object of the invention to provide a tool wherein these hearing sleeves may be removed in a novel,

simple and expeditious manner, and Without any liability of marring the same, the nature of this tool being such as to cause the removal of the sleeves in a minimum amount of time.

A further object is the provision of such a hearing sleeve remover that is not only eX- tremely simple of Construction, but one that is highly useful for the purpose intended.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the tollowing detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawing forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved tool in position within a roller bearing sleeve.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal cross section thereof, and

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the tool.

My novel tool includes a somewhat elongated tubular open ended body 5, it being necessary that the diameter of this 1923. Serial No. &10,653

tool be considerably less than the diameter of the hearing sleeve to be removed.

Adjacent the front end of this tool, the same is provided with a screw threaded opening 6, in which is postioned a headed set screw 7 the head of this set screw adapted for engagement within the usual oil opening 8 of a split roller hearing sleeve 9, Figure 1, when the tool is positioned Withiu the sleeve.

*Within the body 5 is a relatively elongated sleeve 10, within which is freely slidable a rod 11, one end of the same being formed with a finger loop 12, while the opposite end thereof is formed with a goose-neck 13, that is adapted for extension through a slot 14 formed in the body and preferably directly above the said opening 6 that carries the setscrew 7. The sleeve 10 is fixed within the body 5, and is located in alignment with the slot 14:.

The body 5 adjacent one end carries a cross handle 15, and in actual practice, when it is desired to remove the hearing sleeve 9 from the axle, the goose-neck 13 is formed downwardly through the slot with thumb or finger, until fiush with body 5, and the tool is inserted into the sleeve 9 as far as possible. The tool is now rotated within the bearing sleeve 9 until the head of set screw 7 is 'forced into the opening 8 of the sleeve by the spring action of the rod ll. The rod ll is then pushed forwardly as far as possible, which wedges goose-neck 13 between the body 5 and the inside of sleeve 9 as per Figure l of drawing. In this position, the set screw 7 cannot be removed or forced out of opening 8 in sleeve 9. A twist to the right disengages the sleeve locking projection and a rearward movement ot' the tool withdraws the sleeve 'from axlehousing.

Numerous advantages of a tool of this character will at once present themselves to those skilled in the art, and even though I have herein set forth the most preferred embodment of the invention with which I am familiar, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:

A tool for removing hearing sleeves comprsng a eylndreal body having at one side a slot, a headed screw mounted at the opposte side of the body a sleeve located Withn the body and fixed With relation thereto 5 and being in longtudna-l algnment With the slot, and a rod sldably mounted in the last mentoned sleeve, and provided at its outer end With a finger loop, the inner end of the I'od being provided with an angulzu-ly'dsposed oflset portion, which is disposed through the said Slots.

In testmony Whereof I affix my signature.

WAVERLY C. SHAW.
