Brake caliper depressor device

A brake caliper depressor device comprising:

• a gun assembly including a main portion and a barrel portion connected to said main portion and also including an actuating trigger mechanism being attached to said main portion, said main portion including a first frame having an elongate top member, an elongate bottom member, a back support member interconnecting said elongate top and bottom members, a front support member also interconnecting said elongate top and bottom members, said back and front support members having holes therethrough, said elongate top member having a curved end portion, said barrel portion including a second frame having a plurality of arm members having first ends being securely attached to said front support member, and also having second ends which are interconnected to one another and which have a hole extending therethrough, said gun assembly further including an abutment member being securely attached to said second ends of said arm members and having a hole therethrough and being adapted to abut against a portion of a brake assembly, said actuating trigger assembly including a handle portion and a lever member that is pivotable with respect to the handle portion and positioned with respect to said handle portion such that said handle portion and said lever are graspable by a single hand of the user and said handle portion and said lever are movable towards each other by moving fingers of the user toward the palm of the hand of the user, said lever being operationally coupled to said push rod member such that pivoting movement of said lever causes movement of said push rod member with respect to said main portion, said actuating trigger mechanism including a push rod engagement member being attached to said lever and having an end portion being disposed between said elongate top and bottom members of said first frame, said gun assembly also including a spring being disposed between said front support member and said push rod engagement member;
• a push rod member being movably disposed through said gun member and having a first end and a second end, said push rod member movably extending through said holes of said gun assembly and having a handle portion at said first end thereof, said push rod member also movably extending through said end portion of said push rod engagement member, said gun assembly further including a push rod release member being pivotally attached to said back support member and having a first end which is engagable to said curved end portion of said elongate top member and having a curved second end portion, said push rod member being movably engaged through said push rod release member;
• and
• a plurality of caliper piston engagement members, each of said plurality of caliper piston engagement members being individually attachable to said second end of said push rod member, each of said caliper piston engagement members being disc-shaped and having a centrally-disposed hole therethrough and also having diametrically-opposed openings disposed therethrough near a perimeter thereof, said centrally-disposed hole removably receiving said second end of said push rod member, said caliper piston engagement members being adapted to engage particular caliper pistons.

A brake caliper depressor device comprising:

• a gun assembly including a main portion, a barrel portion connected to said main portion, and an actuating trigger mechanism attached to said main portion;
• a push rod member being movably disposed through said gun member and having a first end and a second end;
• and
• at least one caliper piston engagement members removably attachable to said second end of said push rod member;
• wherein said actuating trigger assembly includes a handle portion and a lever member that is pivotable with respect to the handle portion and positioned with respect to said handle portion such that said handle portion and said lever are graspable by a single hand of the user and said handle portion and said lever are movable towards each other by moving fingers of the user toward the palm of the hand of the user, said lever being operationally coupled to said push rod member such that pivoting movement of said lever causes movement of said push rod member with respect to said main portion.
