Washer-jet verification apparatus
View Patent ↗A washer-jet verification master is employed to determine the correct alignment of washer nozzles within a production machine. The verification master includes a plurality of targets, which are preset to a first position. The verification master is placed in the production machine the water jets are actuated and if properly aligned will move the targets to a second position, which indicates proper operation.
1. A verification apparatus for a washer having fluid jets for directing cleaning fluid at a component, said apparatus comprising:
a body simulating component adapted to be mounted on said washer;
a plurality of targets disposed in a first position to receive fluid from said fluid jets; and
means for holding said targets in a first position and for permitting movement of said targets to a second position in response to fluid from said jets to indicate proper alignment thereof.
2. The verification apparatus defined in claim 1 further comprising:
said means for holding said targets including resilient means and cam means, said resilient means comprising spring-loaded plungers.
3. The verification apparatus defined in claim 1 further comprising:
reset tool means having extensions extendable through a plurality of openings in said body to engage said targets to ensure each target is returned to the said first position.
4. A verification apparatus for a washer having fluid jets for directing cleaning fluid at a component, said apparatus comprising:
a body simulating component for replicating the component adapted to be mounted on said washer;
a plurality of targets disposed in a first position to receive fluid from said fluid jets; and
resilient means and cam means, said resilient means comprising spring-loaded plungers, for holding said targets in a first position and for permitting movement of said targets to a second position in response to fluid from said jets to indicate proper alignment thereof.
5. The verification apparatus defined in claim 4 further comprising:
reset tool means having extensions extendable through a plurality of openings in said body to engage said targets to ensure each target is returned to the said first position.
6. A verification apparatus for a washer having fluid jets for directing cleaning fluid at a component, said apparatus comprising:
a body simulating component for replicating the component adapted to be mounted on said washer;
a plurality of targets disposed in a first position to receive fluid from said fluid jets;
means for holding said targets in a first position and for permitting movement of said targets to a second position in response to fluid from said jets to indicate proper alignment thereof; and
reset tool means having extensions extendable through a plurality of openings in said body to engage said targets to ensure each target is returned to the said first position.
7. The verification apparatus defined in claim 6 further comprising:
said means for holding said targets including resilient means and cam means, said resilient means comprising spring-loaded plungers.
