A puller device for pulling bearings, gears, wheels and pulleys from objects such as shafts and axles and other machine parts. The puller device includes a jaw support assembly; jaw members being in operable communication with the jaw support assembly; a jaw actuating assembly being supported by the jaw support assembly and including a jaw guide member being in operable communication with the jaw members; and an elongate push member being adjustable relative to and in operable communication with the jaw support assembly for urging against an object to facilitate the removal of a press fitted work piece.

An accessory (10) for a wrench socket (12) is disclosed including a generally cylindrical magnet (32) secured to a generally cylindrical, nonmagnetic, compressible disk (26). Specifically, the magnet (32) is received in a recess (46) formed in the disk (26) and secured to the disk (26) by a layer (60) of a size larger than and extending over the face (36) of the magnet (32) and integrally secured around its entire periphery to the face (44) of the disk (26). The disk (26) snuggly fits within the well (14) and magnetically insulates the magnet (32) from the socket (12). The magnet (32) has a size smaller than the well (14) and is generally concentric within the well (14), with an air space being created between the magnet (32) and the well (14) for magnetically insulating the magnet (32) from the socket (12) in the most preferred form. The accessory (10) is removably insertable into the socket (12) of any design and model and without need for modification of the socket (12) and captures a fastener (16) slideably received in the well (14) of the socket (12) to magnetically hold the fastener (16) captive in the well (14) as the socket (12) is moved to the fastening location while not magnetizing the socket (12) or the fastener (16) sufficiently to be detrimentally magnetically attracted to metal adjacent to the fastening location. In the most preferred form, the disk (26) further includes a second portion (54) of a size smaller than the first portion (52) for receipt in a connection passage (58) located intermediate the well (14) and the handle mounting end of the socket (12) and which is especially advantageous for sockets (12) having shallow depth wells (14).

Magnetic keeper for wrench sockets

This invention relates to an internal locking puller device which comprises three pivotally mounted jaws, a cam ring which engageably slides along the jaws for camming together and apart the jaws for locking about bushings, bearings, seals, and the like, a disk-like collar to which the jaws are pivotally mounted, a T handle for adjustably controlling the movement of the cam ring, a slide rod, and a slide hammer slidably and reciprocally mounted on said slide rod for providing impacting force to remove the bushings, bearings, seals, and the like. The jaws have arcuate rearward portions with a pair of arcuate rails integrally extending from and along under edges thereof. The rails conform to the configuration of the arcurate rearward portions of the jaws so as to provide uniform locking strength across the jaws to virtually eliminate slippage of the jaws from internally about bushings, bearings, seals, and the like. The rearward portions of the jaws are precisely designed to greatly improve the leverage needed to substantially lock the jaws about the bushings, bearings, seals, and the like to prevent slippage of the jaws during the use of this device.
