A dipstick wiping device for use in measuring fluid reservoir levels in an internal combustion engine is described. The dipstick wiping device comprises a pliable converging tubular body, a fluid wiping element and mounting means. The fluid wiping element comprises a sponge removably mounted around the inner surface of the body by a locking ring. The dipstick wiping device is connected to a dipstick tube by first removing the dipstick from the dipstick tube and then fitting the mounting means over the end of the dipstick tube. The mounting means includes a tie strap for locking the dipstick wiping device into place. The tie strap allows the dipstick wiping device to be mounted on a variety of dipstick tubes, regardless of the diameter of the dipstick tube. The dipstick is then reinserted into the dipstick tube by passingthe dipstick through the body. In operation, the user removes the dipstick from the dipstick tube while applying pressure to the outer surface of the pliable converging tubular body. This pressure forces the fluid wiping element inward such that the sponge cleans the dipstick during removal. The pressure is then released and the clean dipstick is reinserted into the dipstick tube to measure the fluid level. Of note is that the dipstick wiping device is designed as an add-on device and all factory-installed components are retained, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination to the fluid.

Cette invention concerne un nettoie-jauge de niveau d'huile de moteur à combustion interne. L'objet de l'invention a un corps tubulaire souple et conique, un élément essuie-tige et un moyen de montage. L'élément essuie-tige porte une éponge amovible disposée sur la paroi interne du corps tubulaire et maintenue en place par une bague de retenue. Pour fixer le nettoie-jauge sur le tube de jauge d'huile, il faut d'abord sortir la jauge d'huile de son tube et poser le moyen de montage sur le bout dudit tube, moyen de montage qui comprend un collier servant à fixer le nettoie-jauge en place. Le collier permet de monter l'objet de l'invention sur différents types de tube de jauge d'huile, peu importe leur diamètre. Une fois le nettoie-jauge en place, il s'agit de remettre la jauge dans son tube en l'enfilant dans le corps tubulaire du nettoie-jauge. Pour contrôler le niveau d'huile, il faut sortir la jauge de son tube tout en pinçant le corps tubulaire conique du nettoie-jauge pour appliquer l'éponge dont il est équipé contre la tige de la jauge. Par la suite, il faut relâcher la pression sur le nettoie-jauge et remettre la jauge nettoyée dans son tube pour vérifier le niveau d'huile. € noter que l'objet de l'invention est un accessoire à installer en rattrapage sans enlever aucun des pièces d'origine, ce qui réduit les risques de contamination de l'huile de lubrification.
