Abstract:
A brake line bleeding device including a main body with a cylinder and an extending stem. The cylinder is supported at a fixed location within the vehicle, such as upon the steering wheel. The stem is secured, at an end opposite the cylinder, to the brake pedal. A pressurized conduit extends from a source and is communicated to an input of a powered manifold mounted to the cylinder. A two position valve is integrated into the powered manifold and, upon receipt of an input signal, is actuated by a control mechanism within the manifold to switch between first and second outlet conduits extending from the manifold and in order to communicate the pressurized source to respective forward and rearward locations of the cylinder. In this fashion, pressurized fluid or airflow is alternatively communicated to opposite ends of the cylinder in order to reciprocally drive the stem in a bi-linear fashion relative to the housing, such as in order to successively pump the brake in a brake fluid servicing or bleeding operation.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for reciprocally actuating a vehicle brake pedal in alternating depress and retract fashion for the purpose of bleeding its brake lines, said device comprising:\n a cylinder from which supports a bi-direction displaceable stem, a plunger connected to said stem and supported within said cylinder; said cylinder adapted to engage an interior supporting location of the vehicle; said stem extending from said cylinder and a bracket at an end of said stem adapted to secure to the brake pedal; a manifold mounted to said cylinder and receiving a pressurized air or other fluid input at an input; a switching element integrated into said manifold for selectively communicating the input with either of first and second outputs; a pair of conduits extending from said first and second outputs and connected to input locations of said cylinder on opposite sides of said plunger; upon receipt of a signal, said switching element being actuated by a control mechanism to switch between said first and second outlet conduits in order to reciprocally drive said plunger, stem, and brake pedal.
