Abstract
A flexible, hollow puncture and drainage boot for insertion of an oil filter therein. The puncture and drainage boot includes a ledge member upon which an end wall of a vehicle oil filter is placed, to provide a cavity space between an end base member of the drainage boot and the bottom of the oil filter for drainage of fluid therefrom, through at least one hole produced by a piercing of the oil filter. The drainage boot further includes an exit conduit for drainage of oil therefrom.
Claims19
A vehicle oil filter puncture and drain member for a cylindrical vehicle oil filter having a cylindrical body and at least one base end wall, comprising:
- a generally cylindrical hollow boot, said hollow boot having a cavity for insertion of an oil filter therein, at least one puncture member, for puncturing a hole in a wall of the oil filter to permit communication and drainage of oil through the hole into said hollow boot,
