Abstract

An apparatus adapted for adjustable mounting on boat motors having different sizes and locations of cooling intakes for flushing and controllably introducing fluids into the cooling system of such boat motors and further having fluid conducting members for providing a stream of fluid for introduction into the boat motors, and a fluid introducing member releasably attached to the cooling intake of the boat motor for introducing a stream of fluid into the cooling system and a control member connected to the fluid introducing member and in fluid communication with the conducting member for controllably introducing fluid into the cooling system of a boat motor.

Claims

1. An apparatus adopted for adjustable mounting on motors having different size and location of cooling intakes for flushing and controllably introducing fluids into the cooling system of said motors, comprising

(a) conducting means for providing a stream of fluid for introduction into said motor;

(b) fluid introducing pad means releasably attached to the cooling intakes of said motor for forming a seal for the introduction of fluid into said cooling intakes of said motor;

(c) readily releasable fastener means connected to said fluid introducing pad means for securing said fluid introducing pad means over the cooling intakes of said motor;

(d) a dispenser means connected to said fluid introducing pad means for controllably dispensing fluid; and

(e) a control valve means connected to said dispenser means in fluid communication with said conducting means for controllably introducing fluid into the cooling system of said motor.

2. An apparatus adopted for adjustable mounting on motors having different size and location of cooling intakes for flushing and controllably introducing fluids into the cooling system of said motors, comprising

(a) conducting means for providing a stream of fluid for introduction into said motor;

(b) a fluid introducing pad means having a seal on one side of said fluid introducing pad means and a channel formed in said seal for fluid communication with said fluid conducting means and the cooling intakes of said motor;

(c) readily releasable fastener means connected to said fluid introducing pad means for securing said fluid introducing pad means over the cooling intakes of said motor;

(d) a dispenser means connected to said fluid introducing pad means for controllably dispensing fluid; and

(e) a control valve means connected to said fluid introducing pad means and in fluid communication with said conducting means for controllably introducing fluid into the cooling system of said motor.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said fluid introducing pad means are rectangular and said channel formed in said seal is diagonally across said fluid introducing pad means for covering various sizes and locations of cooling intakes on said motors for the introduction of fluid therein.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said ready releasable fastener means further comprises a slidable connection to said fluid introducing pad means to allow movement from varied motor intakes having different sizes and locations on said motor.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said dispenser means for controllably dispensing fluids further comprises

(a) a fluid container;

and

(b) a valve means connected to said fluid introducing pad means for controllably connecting said fluid container in fluid communication with said fluid of said conducting means to form a mixture for introduction into said motor.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said valve means further comprises a valve connected to said fluid conducting means for controlling the flow of said fluid through said conducting means.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said ready releasable fastener means further comprises a pair of members having slotted channels for slidably moving said fluid introducing pad means therealong and releasable fastener means on said pair of members for joining said pair of members about said motor for positioning said fluid introducing pad means over said cooling intakes for the introduction of fluid therein.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said ready releasable fastener means further comprises an elastic member, slotted members on the other side of said fluid introducing pad means for receiving said elastic member and fastener means for releasably holding said elastic member and said fluid introducing pad member in place on said motor.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said fastener means for releasably holding said elastic member further comprises a washer-like member formed into a V shape for receiving said elastic member therethrough and holding said elastic member taut when said elastic member is stretched through said washer-like member and said member is pressed adjacent said motor.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the width of said elastic band is greater than the diameter of the hole in the washer-like member.
