Abstract
An extraction device for removing a vehicle fastener includes a housing, a body, and cam members. The housing has a camming surface and the body is slidably connected to the housing. The cam members are rotatably connected to the body. Slidable movement of the body and the housing relative to one another causes engagement between the camming surface of the housing and the cam members to cause the cam members to rotate. This rotation of the cam members results in the vehicle fastener being unfastened.
Claims20
An extraction device for removing a vehicle fastener, comprising:
- a housing having a camming surface;
- a body slidably connected to the housing;
- and
- cam members rotatably connected to the body, wherein slidable movement of the body and the housing relative to one another causes engagement between the camming surface and the cam members, thereby causing the cam members to rotate and unfasten the vehicle fastener.
An extraction device for removing a vehicle fastener, comprising:
- a housing with a camming surface at a first end of the housing;
- a body slidably received through the first end of the housing so that at least a portion of the body is within the housing;
- and
- cam members pivotably attached to the body, wherein lever ends of the cam members contact the camming surface of the housing so as to rotate respective extraction ends of the cam members to contact and unfasten the vehicle fastener.
A method of removing a fastener from a vehicle, comprising:
- slidably moving one of a body and a housing relative to the other of the body and the housing, the body having cam members rotatably connected thereto;
- engaging a camming surface of the housing with the cam members;
- and
- rotating the cam members with the camming surface to unfasten the vehicle fastener when the camming surface engages the cam members, and the body and the housing are slidably moved relative to one another.
