Williams link i, a system and method for using a spill-proof fluid transport galley, pipe, or tube to exchange mechanical fluids

Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for reducing the threat of environmental pollution in both the private and industrial arenas by safely exchanging oils and other liquid lubricants, fuels, and anti-freeze from internal combustion engines, differentials, transmissions, gear boxes, filters, and/or any other reservoirs found in, but not limited to, automotive, excavating, industrial, and farming equipment and machines. The system and method of the present invention rely on the use of either a fluid transport gallery (FTG) that is cast into the reservoirs contained within the operational structure of a device powered by an internal combustion engine, electric motor, or any other power source, or a pipe or tube installed in these devices at the time of assembly, or retrofitted to them.

1 . A spill-proof system and method for safely exchanging lubricants and other fluids in automotive, industrial, and agricultural engines, transmissions, gear boxes, differentials, hydraulic tanks, coolant tanks, fuel tanks, filters, and any other reservoirs that contain coolants, fuels, and/or lubricants, through the use of either a pre-cast, internally encased, fluid transport galley (FTG) cast into a reservoir at the time of manufacturing, or a pipe or tube that is either inserted into at the point of manufacturing, or retrofitted to the mechanical components powered by or found in internal combustion engines.  
   
   
       2 . A system and method for using an internally encased fluid transport galley (FTG) cast into a reservoir at the time of manufacturing, or a pipe or tube that has either been inserted into the mechanical components identified in  claim 1  at the point of manufacturing, or retrofitted to the mechanical components identified in  claim 1 , protecting the environment from harmful, common-place spills of lubricants and other fluids that are necessary for the efficient operation of mechanical components referenced in  claim 1  that are found in automobiles, industrial, agricultural, and/or other equipment powered by internal combustion engines.  
   
   
       3 . An internally encased fluid transport galley (FTG) system—cast into any of the mechanical reservoirs identified in  claim 1  at the point of manufacturing—or the insertion of, or retrofitting of, a fluid transport pipe or tube, for the purpose of conducting spill-proof, environmentally safe removal and replacement of fluids used in the reservoirs.
