[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] Embodiment 1 Fig. 1 is a plan view showing an oil seal removal jig in embodiment 1. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the oil seal removal jig of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a bottom view showing the oil seal removal jig of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a front view showing the oil seal removal jig of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a rear view showing the oil seal removal jig of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a side view showing the oil seal, a shaft member and an attached portion in embodiment 1.

[0011] In FIG. 1, an oil seal removal jig 100 is used to remove an oil seal 300 shown in FIG.

[0012] Here, the shaft member 200 is, for example, the main shaft of an elevator hoist (not shown). The mounting portion 400 is a part of the hoist that supports the main shaft. An oil seal 300 is mounted on the mounting portion 400. The oil seal 300 is an annular member made of rubber that prevents the lubricant applied inside the hoist from leaking out.

[0013] The oil seal removal jig 100 includes a handle 110, a cutting edge 120, a fulcrum 130, and a protective member 140.

[0014] Handle 110 is a member that is held by an operator. Blade 120 is provided at the tip of handle 110. In addition, end 111 of handle 110 opposite the tip is chamfered.

[0015] The blade portion 120 is a portion that is pierced into the oil seal 300 and has a first blade 121 and a second blade 122 .

[0016] First blade 121 protrudes from the tip of handle 110 at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of handle 110. Second blade 122 protrudes from the tip of handle 110 at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of handle 110 in a direction different from that of first blade 121.

[0017] Fulcrum body 130 is provided at the middle of handle 110. Fulcrum body 130 protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of handle 110. As shown in FIG. 2, the amount of protrusion of fulcrum body 130 from handle 110 is h1. Fulcrum body 130 comes into contact with attachment portion 400, thereby serving as a fulcrum when rotating handle 110.

[0018] The fulcrum body 130 has a fulcrum body main body part 131 and a fastener 132. The fastener 132 fixes the position of the fulcrum body main body part 131 relative to the handle 110. When the fastener 132 is loosened, the fulcrum body main body part 131 becomes movable in the longitudinal direction of the handle 110.

[0019] In this way, the fulcrum body 130 is attached to the handle 110 so that its position in the longitudinal direction of the handle 110 can be adjusted.

[0020] The protective member 140 is a member that protects the blade portion 120. The protective member 140 is a rubber annular member that is fixed to the handle 110.

[0021] Furthermore, the protective member 140 is pressed against the oil seal 300 and elastically deformed before the cutting edge 120 comes into contact with the oil seal 300. Depending on the orientation of the oil seal removal jig 100, the protective member 140 may be pressed against the mounted portion 400 and elastically deformed.

[0022] Next, a first method of using the oil seal removal jig 100 will be described.

[0023] 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the state when the blade portion 120 of the oil seal removal jig 100 in FIG. 1 is piercing the oil seal 300. In the following description, the direction in which the oil seal 300 is removed will be referred to as a first direction, and the opposite direction will be referred to as a second direction.

[0024] First, the worker brings the tip of the cutting edge 120 into contact with the oil seal 300. Then, the end 111 is struck by the hammer 500, causing the cutting edge 120 to pierce the oil seal 300.

[0025] FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a state when the handle 110 of the oil seal removal jig 100 of FIG. 1 is rotated.

[0026] The operator places the bottom of the fulcrum body 130 against the attachment portion 400 and rotates the handle 110. This causes the cutting edge 120 to rise in the first direction, and the oil seal 300 is removed from the attachment portion 400.

[0027] Next, a second method of using the oil seal removal jig 100 will be described.

[0028] Fig. 9 is a side view showing a state when the blade portion 120 of the oil seal removal jig 100 of Fig. 1 is lifted in a first direction. Fig. 10 is a side view showing a state when the fulcrum body 130 is moved away from the blade portion 120 from the state of Fig. 9. Fig. 11 is a side view showing a state when the blade portion 120 is lifted in a first direction from the state of Fig. 10. Note that the oil seal 300 is not shown in Figs. 9 to 11.

[0029] 9, the operator inserts the cutting edge 120 into the oil seal 300 and rotates the handle 110 to lift the cutting edge 120 in the first direction. The lifted height at this time is designated as L1.

[0030] 10, the operator moves the position of fulcrum body 130 away from blade portion 120 without removing blade portion 120 from oil seal 300. As a result, end portion 111 of handle 110 is lifted in the first direction.

[0031] Next, the operator rotates the handle 110 to further lift the blade portion 120 in the first direction in Fig. 11. As a result, the blade portion 120 is lifted to a lift height L2 that is higher than the lift height L1.

[0032] In this way, the operation of lifting the blade portion 120 in the first direction and the operation of moving the position of the fulcrum body 130 away from the blade portion 120 are repeated, so that the oil seal 300 is gradually removed from the mount portion 400.

[0033] Next, a third method of using the oil seal removal jig 100 will be described.

[0034] Fig. 12 is a plan view showing that only the first blade 121 is piercing the oil seal 300 and that the handle 110 is being rotated. Fig. 13 is a plan view showing the state when the blade piercing the oil seal 300 is switched from the first blade 121 to the second blade 122. Fig. 14 is a plan view showing that the handle 110 is being rotated in the reverse direction from the state shown in Fig. 13.

[0035] 12, the worker pierces only the first cutting edge 121 into the oil seal 300, and then places the bottom of the fulcrum body 130 against the mounting portion 400. Then, the worker rotates the handle 110 around the longitudinal direction of the handle 110 as the axis of rotation so as to lift the first cutting edge 121 in the first direction. This rotation lifts the oil seal 300, using the fulcrum body 130 as a fulcrum.

[0036] 13, the worker pulls out the first blade 121 from the oil seal 300 while piercing the second blade 122 into the oil seal 300. At this time, the worker pierces the second blade 122 at a position in the second direction from the position where the first blade 121 was pierced.

[0037] 14, the operator rotates the handle 110 in a direction that lifts the second blade 122 in the first direction. This rotation causes the oil seal 300 to be further lifted, with the fulcrum body 130 as the fulcrum.

[0038] This operation is repeated alternately for the first blade 121 and the second blade 122, whereby the oil seal 300 is gradually removed from the mount portion 400.

[0039] Next, replacement of the fulcrum body 130 will be described.

[0040] 15 is a side view showing the oil seal removal jig 100 when another fulcrum body is attached. The fulcrum body 130 and another fulcrum body 130a are each detachable from the end portion 111 of the handle 110. This allows the fulcrum body 130 to be replaced with another fulcrum body 130a.

[0041] When the other fulcrum body 130a is attached to the handle 110, the amount of protrusion of the other fulcrum body 130a from the handle 110 is h2. The amount of protrusion h2 is different from the amount of protrusion h1. In the first embodiment, the amount of protrusion h2 is longer than the amount of protrusion h1.

[0042] In this way, the fulcrum body 130a can be replaced with another one having a different protrusion amount from the handle 110, and the lift height of the blade portion 120 can be changed.

[0043] The oil seal removal jig 100 of the first embodiment includes a cutting edge 120 and a fulcrum body 130. The cutting edge 120 is provided at the tip of the handle 110 and is inserted into the oil seal 300. The fulcrum body 130 is provided at the middle of the handle 110 and protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle 110. The fulcrum body 130 is brought into contact with the mounting portion 400 to which the oil seal 300 is attached, thereby serving as a fulcrum when the handle 110 is rotated.

[0044] Therefore, the oil seal removal jig 100 of the first embodiment allows the oil seal 300 to be removed more easily.

[0045] Furthermore, the fulcrum body 130 is attached to the handle 110 so that its position in the longitudinal direction of the handle 110 can be adjusted. Therefore, the height to which the blade section 120 is lifted when the handle 110 is rotated can be adjusted.

[0046] Furthermore, the blade portion 120 has a first blade 121 that protrudes from the tip of the handle 110 at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the handle 110. Furthermore, the blade portion 120 has a second blade 122 that protrudes from the tip of the handle 110 at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the handle 110 in a direction different from that of the first blade 121. This makes it possible to distribute the load applied to the blade portion 120 when lifting the oil seal 300.

[0047] The oil seal removal jig 100 further includes another fulcrum body 130a that protrudes from the handle 110 by an amount different from that of the fulcrum body 130. The fulcrum body 130 and the other fulcrum body 130a are each detachable from the handle 110. Therefore, by replacing the fulcrum body 130, the lifting height of the cutting portion 120 can be adjusted.

[0048] In addition, end 111 on the opposite side of the tip of handle 110 is chamfered, which reduces damage when end 111 is hit hard, compared to when there is a corner.

[0049] Furthermore, because end 111 is struck by hammer 500, if end 111 is not chamfered, the shape of the corners will be deformed. If the corners of end 111 are significantly deformed, it becomes difficult to remove fulcrum 130 from end 111, making it impossible to replace fulcrum 130. For this reason, by chamfering end 111 as in the first embodiment, this can be avoided.

[0050] Furthermore, when the cutting edge 120 pierces the oil seal 300, the protective member 140 is pressed against at least one of the attachment portion 400 and the oil seal 300 and elastically deformed before the cutting edge 120 comes into contact with the oil seal 300. Therefore, the oil seal removal jig 100 can be used without removing the protective member 140 from the handle 110. [Explanation of symbols]
