Patent ID: 7156067

Claim:
An apparatus for laterally conducting oil within a motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being longitudinally bounded by a motorcycle engine, the motorcycle engine having at least a first protrusion extending oppositely longitudinally into the motorcycle frame space, the motorcycle frame space being oppositely laterally bounded by an oil filter manifold having an annular bearing surface, the oil filter manifold having removably attached thereto an oil filter, the oil filter having an oppositely lateral end, the apparatus comprising: (a) a circular bushing fitted for passage of the oil filter therethrough, the bushing being further fitted for nesting receipt of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, the bushing being, upon the nesting receipt by the bushing of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, manually rotatable with respect to the annular bearing surface; (b) an oil sluice having an oil catch end and an oil drain end, the oil sluice comprising a longitudinally and upwardly extending wall and an oppositely longitudinally and upwardly extending wall, the longitudinally and upwardly extending wall comprising a sluice leveling notch fitted for, upon manual rotation of the bushing with respect to the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, receipt of the motorcycle engine's at least first protrusion; and, (c) attaching means interconnecting the oil sluice and the bushing, the attaching means orienting the oil sluice so that, upon nesting receipt by the bushing of the oil filter manifold's annular bearing surface, the oil catch and oil drain ends of the oil sluice may respectively underlie the oil filter's oppositely lateral end and extend laterally from the motorcycle frame space; the bushing comprising plastic.
