ENGINE COMPONENT REMOVAL TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18459257 titled 'ENGINE COMPONENT REMOVAL TOOL

Simplified Explanation: The removal tool described in the patent application is designed to efficiently remove an insertable engine component from an engine assembly by utilizing a coupling device, a drive member, and a lifting member attached to a main shaft. The tool applies rotational force to unscrew a retainer securing the engine component, causing a lifting force that pushes the engine component upward and away from the assembly.

  • The removal tool includes a coupling device, a drive member, and a lifting member attached to a main shaft.
  • The coupling device is mounted onto a retainer securing an engine component.
  • A rotational force applied to the drive member is transferred to the coupling device, causing the retainer to be unscrewed.
  • As the retainer is unscrewed, a lifting force is generated, pushing the engine component upward.
  • The lifting member facilitates the upward movement of the engine component, aiding in its removal from the engine assembly.

Potential Applications: 1. Automotive industry for engine maintenance and repair. 2. Aerospace industry for aircraft engine maintenance. 3. Industrial machinery for equipment maintenance.

Problems Solved: 1. Streamlines the process of removing engine components. 2. Facilitates quick and efficient maintenance of engines. 3. Reduces the risk of damage to engine components during removal.

Benefits: 1. Time-saving in engine maintenance procedures. 2. Minimizes the risk of errors during component removal. 3. Enhances overall efficiency in engine repair tasks.

Commercial Applications: The removal tool can be utilized by automotive repair shops, aircraft maintenance facilities, and industrial manufacturing plants for efficient engine maintenance and repair processes.

Questions about Engine Component Removal: 1. How does the removal tool facilitate the unscrewing of the retainer securing the engine component? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond engine maintenance in the automotive industry?


Original Abstract Submitted

A removal tool configured for removing an insertable engine component from an engine assembly. In the removal tool may include a coupling device, a drive member, and a lifting member attached to a main shaft. The coupling device is mounted onto a retainer securing an engine component, and the lifting member is positioned against the underside of a flange of the engine component. A rotational force applied against the drive member is transferred to the coupling device and causes the retainer to be unscrewed. As the retainer is unscrewed, this causes a lifting force from the retainer pushing against the coupling device, which causes the lifting member to be pushed upward, and further causing the engine component to be pushed upward and away from the engine assembly. This facilitates removal of the engine component concurrently with the removal of the retainer (e.g., in a single operation).
