Patent GB-616769-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to lubricating devices for internal combustion engines
IPC: F16N7/08
Filed: 1946-09-13
Abstract: 616,769. Lubricators. MOORE, R. M. Sept. 13, 1946, No. 27497. [Class 12 (iii)] Apparatus for automatically supplying lubricant to the cylinder of an internal-combustion engine for a short period after starting from cold comprises a lubricant chamber, the upper part of which constitutes a sealed air space, and means whereby variations in the pressure and volume of the air therein, caused by variations in ambient temperature, serve to displace part of the lubricant into another chamber, so that part of this displaced lubricant is available for the above purpose. The closed oil chamber 1, which is preferably of glass and is attached in an air-tight manner to a body 2, has an air space 4 above the oil. A float 6 is freely mounted in a chamber 5 in the part 2 and from the base of this chamber a tube 7 passes to the lower region of the chamber 1. A stack pipe 9 rises from the base of a well in an upper chamber 10 in the part 2 and extends within an inverted bell 8 formed with or secured to the upper part of the float 6, the passage in the stack pipe providing communication from the inside of the bell to a tube 11 connected to the induction system of an engine. The bell 8, in its lowest position, enters a well in the base of the chamber 10. Assuming that oil is present in the chamber 1 only, when the engine is started'the pressure of the air in the space 4 will increase, so that oil is forced up the tube 7 into the chamber 5, and thence into the chamber 10 where it fills the well surrounding the stack pipe 9. The buoyancy of the float and bell are such that the lower end of the bell lies above the level of the oil as it rises in the chamber 10, so that depression of pressure derived from the engine via the connection 11 merely promotes a flow of air from the atmosphere, through a vent 12 in the cover-plate of the body 2, into the induction system. On stopping the engine, the air in the space 4 will contract so that the oil in the chambers 10, 5, except for that in the well of the chamber 10, will pass back into the chamber 1; at the same time the float 6 and bell 8 will sink, the lower end of the bell becoming submerged in the well. Subsequent starting of the engine and the application of a depression of pressure to the tube 11 results in part of the oil in the well being drawn up the bell 8 and thence passing to the induction pipe of the engine, providing a temporary supplementary supply of oil thereto which will persist for a short time. If the vehicle is now put into action, the pressure of the air in the space 4 will again increase and oil will be driven up the tube 7 once more.
