OIL FILTER REMOVAL TOOL WITH INTEGRAL OIL RETAINING RESERVOIR

摘要

An oil filter removal tool having a base and axially compressible bellows attached at a liquid-tight joint to the base that telescopes over an oil filter being removed defining a container that collects excess oil during filter removal. Base has a filter engaging recess with a fluid passage enabling oil collected during removal to flow into a reservoir between the filter and base. Another reservoir formed between filter and bellows holds additional oil. Joint is formed by a seating arrangement having a configuration that also strengthens the tool. Bellows can compress to seal against pan ensuring oil in oil pan and filter that spills during filter removal remains within tool. After removal, bellows can return to its uncompressed length providing a container sidewall extending outwardly beyond filter enabling collected oil to be transported and dumped into a container.
