Abstract
A tune up device for a distributor of an internal combustion engine having an adaptor adjustably mounted on the distributor adjacent to the distributor cam, and a replaceable module having contact points positioned on the distributor, wherein once the adaptor is positioned, it provides the proper setting for the contact point gap or dwell angle. When the adaptor has been installed the gap between the contact points and dwell angle remains the same from the initial module to each replaceable module. Further settings are not necessary. Each time the tune up is desired the module is removed and simply replaced.
Claims11
A tune up device for a distributor of an internal combustion engine wherein the distributor has a cam for opening contact points to provide high tension voltage to each combustion chamber of the engine, comprising:
- an adaptor adapted to be adjustably mounted on the distributor adjacent to the cam, and
- a replaceable module adapted to be positioned on the distributor adjacent the cam by said adaptor having a pair of preset normally closed contact points, a condensor and a cam follower adapted to be mounted on said adaptor,
- wherein once said adaptor is positioned on the distributor upon initial installation of said device said contact points will have the desired gap or dwell angle from module to module without further adjustment.
A tune up device for a distributor of an internal combustion engine wherein the distributor has a cam with high points for opening contact points to the desired gap for providing high tension voltage to each combustion chamber of the engine, comprising:
- an adaptor to be adjustably mounted on the distributor adjacent to the cam, including locating means thereon adjusted to be positioned on the distributor a predetermined fixed distance from the center line of the cam for causing the high points of the cam to open the contact points to the desired gap, and
- a replaceable module adapted to be mounted on said adaptor having locating means thereon which engage said adaptor locating means and include normally closed contact points, and a cam follower adapted to sequentially contact each cam high point for opening the contact points to the desired gap,
- wherein the relationship of said locating means on said adaptor and module relative to one another is always the same so that when said locating means are positioned on the distributor a fixed predetermined distance from the center line of the cam, the contact points will be opened to the desired gap by the cam high points, and wherein once said adaptor is positioned on the distributor with its locating means the predetermined fixed distance from the center line of the cam upon initial installation, replacement of each module is achieved by engaging its locating means with said adaptor locating means, whereupon the contact points of each module automatically will assume the previous desired setting without additional adjustment.
A tune up device for a distributor of an internal combustion engine wherein the distributor has a cam for opening contact points to provide high tension voltage to each combustion chamber of the engine, comprising:
- an adaptor adapted to be adjustably mounted on the distributor adjacent the cam,
- a replaceable module adapted to be positioned on said adaptor including a pair of preset normally closed contact points and a cam follower, and
- means for positioning said adaptor on the distributor upon initial installation of said device,
- wherein once said adaptor is positioned on the distributor upon initial installation said module can be replaced as required and each time said new module is positioned on the distributor said contact points have the desired gap or dwell angle from module to module without further adjustment.
A tune up device for a distributor of an internal combustion engine wherein the distributor has a cam with high points for opening contact points to provide high tension voltage to each combustion chamber of the engine, comprising:
- an adaptor to be adjustably mounted on the distributor adjacent the cam including locating means thereon,
- a replaceable module having locating means thereon adapted to engage said adaptor locating means and including a pair of preset normal closed contact points, spring means normally urging said contact points closed, a condensor electrically connected to said contact points and a cam follower operatively connected to said spring means and adapted to be in contact with the cam high points when said module and adaptor locating means are engaged and said adaptor is positioned on the distributor,
- interference means extending inwardly from said device adapted to contact a high point on the cam when said adaptor is adjustably mounted on the distributor to position said adaptor locating means a fixed distance from the center line of the cam, wherein once said adaptor is so positioned on the distributor upon initial installation of said device said contact points have the desired gap or dwell angle from replaceable module to replaceable module without further adjustment.
A tune up device for a distributor of an internal combustion engine wherein the distributor has a cam with high points for opening contact points to the desired gap for providing high tension voltage to each combustion chamber of the engine, comprising:
- an adaptor to be adjustably mounted on the distributor adjacent to the cam, including locating means thereon adjusted to be positioned on the distributor a predetermined fixed distance from the center line of the cam for causing the high points of the cam to open the contact points to the desired gap,
- a replaceable module adapted to be mounted on said adaptor having locating means thereon which engage said adaptor locating means and include normally closed contact points and a cam follower adapted to sequentially contact each cam high point for opening the contact points to the desired gap,
- the relationship of said locating means on said adaptor and module relative to one another is always the same so that when said locating means are positioned on the distributor a fixed predetermined distance from the center line of the cam, the contact points will be opened to the desired gap by the cam high points, and
- means operatively connected to said adaptor adapted to contact a high point on the cam when said adaptor is adjustably mounted on the distributor to position said adaptor locating means the fixed predetermined distance from the center line of the cam upon initial installation thereof, wherein once said adaptor is so positioned on the distributor replacement of each module is achieved by engaging its locating means with said adaptor locating means so that the contact points of each module automatically assume the previous desired setting without additional adjustment.
