Apparatus to assist a mechanic to work on the engine of a vehicle

An apparatus which enables a person to comfortable work on the engine of a vehicle includes base, spine, post, knee pad, and chest pad components. The spine component is pivotally connected to the base component. A brace prevents the pivoting movement but is removably connected between the spine and the base to allow pivoting when desired. The spine component carries the tube component at a selected height, and the tube component carries the knee pad component at a selected position. The tube component carries the chest pad component.

MODULAR VISCOUS FAN CLUTCH SYSTEM
20230417295 · 2023-12-28 · ·

A viscous clutch head may be replaced by selecting a viscous clutch head and a mount adapter. The viscous clutch head and the mount adapter may be selected from a group of universal modular fan drives and from a group of mount adapters. The mount adapter of a threaded type or a flange and bolt type may be selected. Depending on the viscous clutch head to be replaced, a fan adapter and/or a pilot adapter may also be selected from a group of fan adapters and from a group of pilot adapters. Accordingly, a range of models of viscous fan clutch systems may be replaced by using a limited number of parts. These parts may be stored on a tool cart. As different models of viscous fan clutch systems may be replaced using a limited number of parts, the in-stock inventory of replacement parts may be reduced.
