Benefits of technology

The invention provides a fluid plug assembly for sealing containers, such as oil pans on vehicles. The assembly includes an insert with a flange portion and threaded interior and exterior, a plug with a threaded shank, and a washer between the insert and plug. The method involves engaging the insert with the container's aperture, positioning the washer within a channel on the plug, and engaging the plug with the insert to form the seal. The flange portion has receivers for easy engagement with the container. The threaded shank can be left-handed or right-handed. The insert can be engaged with a pump to drain fluids from the container actively. The technical effect is an improved sealing mechanism for containers that is simple to use and effective in preventing leaks.

Problems solved by technology

With some manufacturers, this results in not only the replacement of the plug itself but the entire oil pan causing unnecessary waste of money and resources.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 545,054, filed Aug. 14, 2017. The disclosure of the foregoing application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention generally relates to plugs which hold fluid in containers and more specifically to the field oil plugs.BACKGROUND[0003]Commonly, threaded plugs are used to sealingly engage with a complementary threaded portion on a container. This can be seen in many embodiments where sealing of a container having fluid therein is needed such as water bottles and similar drinking containers, and, as described herein, an oil pan plug.[0004]In the current art, a simple threaded bolt is used to sealingly engage with a threaded circular drain aperture positioned on an underside of an oil pan on a vehicle. It is common for the threaded bolt and the threaded drain aperture to become stripped during routin...
