Engine oil collection container
11639772 · 2023-05-02 ·

The engine oil collection container comprises a collection pan and a perforated cover. The engine oil collection container may be a container for collecting oil. One or more emptied oil bottles may be held in an inverted position by a plurality of bottle apertures located on the perforated cover so that residual oil within the one or more emptied oil bottles may drain into the collection pan. A top aperture located at the top center of the perforated cover may be operable to collect the oil from a non-bottled oil source. As a non-limiting example, the non-bottled oil source may be an oil collection basin or a vehicle oil pan. In some embodiments, the engine oil collection container may comprise a rolling stand that is operable to reduce friction between the bottom of the collection pan and the ground when moving the container.

Fluid catchment assembly
11655938 · 2023-05-23 ·

A fluid catchment assembly for capturing fluids leaking from an internal combustion engine includes an oil pan structured to fit over a factory installed oil pan of an internal combustion engine thereby facilitating the oil pan to capture fluids that leak from the internal combustion engine. A sight glass is fluidly integrated into the oil pan thereby facilitating the sight glass to visually display a fluid level in the oil pan. A plug is insertable into the drain for closing the drain and a pair of attachments is each attached between the internal combustion engine and the oil pan. Each of the attachments releasably retains the oil pan on the internal combustion engine.

20230366508 · 2023-11-16 ·

An apparatus and a method are shown for removing or moving a viscous fluid such as grease from a first unit such as a bearing e.g. a ball bearing to a second unit via a hose or pipe. The apparatus includes a hose or pipe (7) through which the viscous fluid is pumped during operation from an outlet (11) of the first unit (1) to an inlet (10) of the second unit (2), wherein the apparatus further includes a pump connected to the hose or pipe (7) in such a way that the viscous fluid during operation is moved through the hose or pipe (7), and the hose or pipe (7) includes an inlet (8) for gas such as air, and the flow of gas through the inlet (8) is controlled by a valve (9).

Grease collection arrangement for collecting waste grease from a grease lubricated rotor blade pitch bearing of a wind turbine

Provided is a grease collection arrangement for collecting waste grease from a grease lubricated rotor blade pitch bearing of a wind turbine, whereby the grease collection arrangement includes at least one waste grease collector and multiple extraction tubes, wherein each one of the multiple extraction tubes is connected to the at least one waste grease collector and the multiple extraction tubes are configured to being connected to multiple grease outlets of the rotor blade pitch bearing, whereby the grease collection arrangement is configured such that the waste grease from the rotor blade pitch bearing can flow into the at least one waste grease collector by gravity and centrifugal forces.

Collapsible containment berm
11826793 · 2023-11-28 ·

A collapsible containment berm having a floor and a peripheral sidewall, a plurality of brace assemblies integrally carried on an external surface of the sidewall and on an adjacent underside surface of the floor, each brace assembly comprising a rigid sidewall support member connected to the external surface of the sidewall and oriented upright when deployed, a rigid buttress member having a first end and an opposite second end, and hingedly connected to an upper end of the sidewall support member that allows the buttress member to arc toward or away from the sidewall, a rigid floor member hingedly connected at the third end to the other end of the buttress member, and a sleeve connected to the underside of the floor and adapted to receive the floor member. The floor member slides in and out of the sleeve and moves the buttress member in and out of a bracing position with respect to the sidewall.

Lubricated enclosure for an aircraft turbine engine, limiting the retention of lubricant during pitching
11441439 · 2022-09-13 · ·

A lubricated enclosure for an aircraft turbine engine, including a drained roller bearing provided with drainage orifices, as well as a lubricant ejector intended to limit the retention of lubricant in a critical zone of the enclosure, the ejector being intended to be passed through by a primary lubricant flow in order to drive a secondary lubricant flow located around a nozzle of the ejector housed in the critical zone of the enclosure. The enclosure includes a device for establishing communication between the drainage orifices and the ejector, such that the lubricant that escapes from the drainage orifices supplies the ejector in order to form the primary flow.

Disposable oil change kit
11440510 · 2022-09-13 ·

A disposable liquid disposal tool is provided for collecting liquids and for changing engine oil or other hydrocarbon containing products whereby the liquid, spent oil, or hydrocarbon is encapsulated in a non-biodegradable substance rendering the kit safe for disposal in a non-hazard or controlled substance landfill. A disposable container insert tray may be composed of rows separating conical shaped depressions that are used to channel the liquid to all levels of the container so that liquids can be exposed to the maximum volume of the non-biodegradable substance for total encapsulation. In embodiments, the top of the liquid disposal container may be covered with an open weave fabric material that acts as a diffuser whereby the liquid materials are spread more equally throughout the confines of the container and on to the surface of the tray insert.
