Patent GB-2187801-A (GB)
Title: Lubricating compressors
Inventor: CARVER NIGEL J
IPC: F01M1/06
Filed: 1986-03-14
Abstract: A single cylinder air compressor is provided with a valve arrangement in the crankcase which impedes breathing of the crankcase during induction strokes to create crankcase pressure elevations to expel lubricating oil from a low point of the crankcase via the small passage 18. This is achieved by using the crankweb counterweight 21 as a blocking means for breather passage 19. The face 20 of the counterweight obscures passage 19 during inductor, thus raising the crankcase pressure. This restricts the oil accumulating in the crankcase to the level of the inner end of passage 18. <IMAGE>

Title: Inhaler
Inventor: HURKA DR WILHELM
IPC: A61M13/00
Filed: 1986-07-31
Abstract: An inhaler is described for introducing a solid substance in particulate form into the inhaled air of a user. The inhaler comprises a body (1,1') in which is provided and endless orbital path (3) for one or more balls (4). Air enters the path (3) via an air inlet (6), optionally through an intake conduit (5). Air leaves the orbital path (3) in a centripetal direction through an air discharge system (7) and an air outlet (8). The solid substance to be inhaled is provided, preferably in the form of a film, on the surface of the orbital path (3) or on the surface of the ball (4). A user inhales through the air outlet (8), and this causes air to be draw into the orbital path (3) through the air inlet (6). This causes the ball (4) to circulate around the orbital path (3), in which process solid substance is dislodged and caused to flow with the air out through the outlet (8).
