摘要:
A tool for installing or removing valve keepers is disclosed. One end of the tool is configured to easily remove valve keepers, while the other end of the tool is configured to easily install valve keepers. This valve tool can be further connected to an engine-mounted lever assembly for increasing leverage on the tool during use.

A spring capture assembly is provided for securing a compression spring of a spring-biased mechanism, such as a spring-biased pressure relief valve, to permit disassembly of the mechanism without risk of damage or injury associate with rapid resiling of the spring from a compressed state. The assembly includes a tool, a housing having an opening for admitting passage of the tool and capturing the spring at one end, a spring retainer, and a compression spring mounted within the housing and captured at one end by said housing and toward an opposite end by the spring retainer. The tool is adapted for mating with the spring retainer and the housing to compress the spring therebetween. The spring capture assembly may be incorporated into a pressure relief valve for venting pressure and/or vacuum from a pressure vessel. Provided also is a method for disassembling a spring-biased mechanism including a spring capture assembly.

A tool for removing valve springs and seals from an engine's intake and exhaust valves includes a bracket having apertures spaced therealong and for receiving fastening members therethrough. The tool further includes a plurality of support pedestals provided with channels extending therethrough and for receiving the fastening members respectively so that the bracket is maintained at a substantially stable position. The tool also includes a mechanism for simultaneously compressing a valve spring by exerting pressure upon a valve head keeper and retainer, thereby releasing associated locks keepers so that a user can remove the valve springs and valve seals from the valve head. The compressing mechanism cooperates with the pedestals and the bracket and is rotatable about a fulcrum axis traversing the pedestals wherein the fulcrum axis extends along a horizontal plane subjacent the bracket.

A hand tool that greatly expedites the installation of the valve locks that secure a valve spring retainer to the free end of a valve stem. The valve locks include an inwardly extending ridge that engages a circumferential groove that extends around an end portion of the valve stem. The valve lock is retained in this position by a tapered central bore of the valve spring retainer that produces an inward clamping force on the valve lock. The tool includes a plunger having a diameter equal to the diameter of the valve stem. The user positions the valve locks on the protruding cylindrical surface of the plunger, where they are held by magnetic attraction. The user pushes the end of the tool against the valve spring retainer, thereby compressing the valve spring so that the valve stem pushes the plunger into a close-fitting loader end cap until the valve locks are transferred to the valve stem and into engagement with the circumferential groove.

A valve spring compressor of uncomplicated construction. The valve spring compressor includes a lever arm and an attaching member pivotally and releasably secured to the front end of the lever arm. The attaching member has a threaded portion and a first carrier portion attached to the threaded portion. The first carrier portion has a pair of first retaining legs extending upwardly from the top of the threaded portion that are positioned on opposite sides of the lever arm and are secured thereto. A compressing member is pivotally and releasably secured to the lever arm between its front and rear ends. The compressing member includes an inverted cup portion having a ring and a peripheral flange extending downwardly therefrom. A second carrier portion is attached to the inverted cup portion and has a pair of second retaining legs extending upwardly from the top of the threaded portion. The second retaining legs are positioned on opposite sides of the lever arm and are secured thereto.

A clamp includes an arcuated frame with a stub connected to the first end thereof and a bracket connected to the second end thereof. The second end of the frame has a passage into which a rod is movably received which has one end thereof pivotally connected to a lever and the other end thereof connected to a tube so that when operating the lever, the rod together with the tube are moved toward the stub.

A spring compression tool and method for using the spring compression tool in assembling a brake shoe adjustment mechanism on a WAGNER front brake. The tool includes a C-shaped body member and an adjustable portion. The body member includes a first end having a first clamping member, and a second end to which the adjustable portion is movably mounted. The adjustable portion includes a threaded shaft and a beam member. The beam member includes a plate and second and third clamping members. Rotation of the shaft moves the second and third clamping members relatively toward or away from the first clamping member. The tool is used to compress a brake shoe adjustment spring, and to maintain the spring in a compressed condition to permit assembly of other components of the adjustment mechanism.
摘要:
The invention is a tool for removing and installing valve springs in an overhead valve engine of the type having a stud adjacent the valve spring. In detail, the tool is a locking type pliers having a first jaw with an aperture therethrough for engaging the stud and a second jaw for engaging the valve spring, the second jaw having an opening therein sufficient to allow the valve retainer to pass therethrough. Thus that when the tool is installed with the first jaw positioned with the stud extending through the aperture and the second jaw positioned over the valve spring, the pliers can be actuated to a locked position causing the second jaw to compress the spring with the first jaw reacting the force applied to compress the valve. spring. Upon compression of the spring the valve retainer is freed from the valve spring retaining cap and can be easily removed.
