Oil level display device of engine
An oil level display device is fitted such that a float guide accommodating a float is attached to an oil filler neck and is plugged with a float cap. To check the amount of oil, the float cap is removed and the position of the float is checked. If a sufficient amount of oil is stored, an upward force derived from oil buoyancy is larger than a downward force of the own weight of the float, from among the forces that act on the float. The float thus protrudes beyond a large-diameter portion upon removal of the float cap from the float guide.
Systems for axle arm
Systems are provided for an axle arm including a lubricant reservoir and a driveshaft. In one example, system may include a lubricant reservoir of an axle arm comprising a fill line at an edge of a driveshaft, wherein a central axis of the lubricant reservoir is misaligned with a central axis of the driveshaft.
Oil filler tube assembly for aircraft engine
An oil filler assembly for an aircraft engine, has: a filler tube extending from a bottom end to a top end; a valve having a tube side fluidly connected to the filler tube and a tank side; a cap removably secured to the top end; a dipstick secured to the cap and extending into the filler tube; and a piston secured to the dipstick, the piston having: a sealing configuration in which the piston sealingly engages the filler tube to fluidly disconnect the top end from the valve, the piston being in the sealing configuration when the cap is secured to the top end of the filler tube; and a venting configuration in which the piston permits fluid communication between the top end and the valve, the piston being in the venting configuration when the cap is moved away from the top end of the filler tube.
Filler-cap activated valve in filler-neck oil vent
An oil filler assembly, has: a filler tube extending from a bottom end to a top end; a non-return valve having a tube side and a tank side; a cap assembly including a cap removably secured to the filler tube and a dipstick projecting from the cap; a vent having an inlet connected to the tank side and an outlet connected to the tube side, the vent defining a flow path bypassing the non-return valve; and a safety valve connected to the vent and having an open configuration in which fluid flow is permitted and a closed configuration in which fluid flow is prevented, the safety valve being engageable by the cap assembly to bias the safety valve in the open configuration when the cap is secured to the top end, the safety valve being in the closed configuration when the cap assembly is detached from the top end.
LUBRICANT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH OVERFILL PROTECTION
A lubricant distribution system for supplying lubricant. The system includes a reservoir for lubricant and a pump assembly for pumping the lubricant. The pump assembly includes a crank case having a crank assembly that is insertable into and removable from a housing of the crank case without disassembly of the crank assembly, to provide ease of assembly and disassembly of the crank case. The system also includes a shut-off valve stopping the refilling of the reservoir with lubricant. The shut-off valve includes a blocker for preventing the flow of lubricant to the reservoir and an actuation surface for positioning the blocker to prevent the flow of lubricant. For overfill protection, the actuation surface is movable relative to the blocker. The system also includes a mount with a one-way valve mounted thereto. The one-way valve is removable from the mount for easy replacement or cleaning of the one-way valve.
Systems for axle arm
Systems are provided for an axle arm including a lubricant reservoir and a driveshaft. In one example, system may include a lubricant reservoir of an axle arm comprising a fill line at an edge of a driveshaft, wherein a central axis of the lubricant reservoir is misaligned with a central axis of the driveshaft.
WATCHMAKER'S PORTABLE LUBRICATION TOOL
Watchmaker's portable lubrication tool including at least one lubricant reservoir, with a plurality of chambers, each only accessible to a user in a first open position of the tool, each reservoir being closable by a sealed lid which, in a second closed position, is kept sealingly pressed on the reservoir, and the tool includes a structure which carries such a lid associated with such a reservoir, and which is a component of a multi-function pocket knife of the Swiss army knife type, with a frame on which pivots a plurality of blades, the tool comprises at least one elastic return arranged to exert, in the second closed position, a force on at least one lid to press it sealingly on an associated reservoir.
COMPRESSOR-OIL RECEIVING DEVICE AND COMPRESSOR SYSTEM HAVING A COMPRESSOR-OIL RECEIVING DEVICE OF THIS TYPE
A compressor-oil-receiving apparatus for a compressor system filled with a compressor oil for transfer into the compressor system. The apparatus includes a housing which forms a receiving volume for the compressor oil, and an oil filler neck with a filling opening on a side, which is directed away from the receiving volume and with an outlet opening on a side which is directed toward the receiving volume, wherein the oil filler neck forms a housing opening for filling of the receiving volume with the compressor oil, and the outlet opening is arranged such that, through filling of the receiving volume, an air volume enclosed by the housing, and the compressor oil that has been introduced is formed in the receiving volume.
BATTERY-TYPE AUTOMATIC GREASE GUN
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a battery-powered automatic grease gun, which includes: a driving unit including a motor and a gear, configured to provide piston motion to a piston (P); a distribution unit extending from the driving unit and receiving the piston motion, into which the piston is inserted; a grease container assembly coupled to the distribution unit and configured to store grease; and a spray nozzle and a grease nipple, which are a plurality of discharge ports connected to the distribution unit.
Compressor-oil receiving device and compressor system having a compressor-oil receiving device of this type
A compressor-oil-receiving apparatus for a compressor system filled with a compressor oil for transfer into the compressor system. The apparatus includes a housing which forms a receiving volume for the compressor oil, and an oil filler neck with a filling opening on a side, which is directed away from the receiving volume and with an outlet opening on a side which is directed toward the receiving volume, wherein the oil filler neck forms a housing opening for filling of the receiving volume with the compressor oil, and the outlet opening is arranged such that, through filling of the receiving volume, an air volume enclosed by the housing, and the compressor oil that has been introduced is formed in the receiving volume.
