摘要:
A fitting for a lubrication point of a device to be lubricated and a connector for removably connecting to such fitting to provide a lubricant from a lubrication device via the fitting to the device to be lubricated are disclosed. The fitting comprises an integrated circuit for providing an identification code to identify the fitting, and a first electrical contact for establishing an electrical path between the integrated circuit and a processor of the connector when a connection between the fitting and the connector is established. The connector comprises the processor and a second electrical contact for establishing the electrical path. The integrated circuit is adapted for transmitting data, including the identification code, via the first electrical contact to the processor.

To prevent nuisance marine growth in a valve, particularly a ball valve, used to regulate a flow of seawater, a compound for lubricating and preventing nuisance marine growth is provided in the valve. The nuisance marine growth preventing compound includes a substantially uniform mixture of marine grease and an antifouling agent. The compound is introduced into the valve such that the compound is provided between and contacts a valve body and a ball that regulates the flow of seawater within the valve, and inhibits nuisance marine growth at a space between the ball and the valve body which is occupied by the compound.

A cam follower roller assembly has a shaft insertable into a roller. The shaft has a zerk in communication with the channel wherein lubricant can be added to the assembly. The design of the assembly in one embodiment is such that a larger shoulder to shaft radius stabilizes the shaft and limits the shaft from rocking or elongating within a mounting hole. When utilized in the application of a loading mechanism and carriage assembly for trash collection vehicles, one embodiment of the cam follower roller assembly provides greater life and easier serviceability.

A central lubrication system for lubricating a telescopic shaft (1, 101, 201) has a lubrication device (10, 110, 210) and an inner profiled tube (2, 102, 202) of the telescopic shaft (1, 101, 201). The lubrication device (10, 110, 210) is insertable into the inner profiled tube. At least one feed duct (11, 111, 211) feeds lubricant to the portions of the telescopic shaft (1, 101, 201) to be lubricated.
摘要:
A lubricator (1) includes a coaxial compartment (3) with a shaped seat (4) upon which a sliding shutter (5) consisting of a front shaped plug (6) and an intermediate stem (7) with a back beat (8) associated with a first stop pin (9), operates; in the rear threaded end (10) of the compartment (3) a security dowel (11) with a front beat (12) associated with a second stop pin (13), screws on. A counter spring (15) engages itself between pins (9) and (13). The stem (7) of the shutter and the dowel (11) present peripheral helical grooves (14, 14′) with a spiral developing in the opposite direction as to the threading (10) of the compartment (3) and the threading of the dowel (11) itself.

In one embodiment, a method is provided for performing a fluid process within a machine having a fluid system including at least two reservoirs of different types of fluids. The method includes the steps of identifying a first reservoir for use in performing a fluid process; (a) adjusting a configuration of a valve system operatively coupled to the fluid system to permit a fluid evacuation process to be performed for the reservoir, (b) subsequently performing the fluid evacuation process for the reservoir, (c) subsequently adjusting the configuration of the valve system to permit a fluid refill process to be performed for the reservoir, (d) subsequently performing the fluid refill process for the reservoir; and, subsequently identifying an additional reservoir and performing at least one of the steps (a), (b), (c) and (d) for the additional reservoir, wherein the first reservoir includes a fluid of a type which is different from a type of a fluid of the additional reservoir. Various system and computer-readable media embodiments are also provided. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR § 1.72(b).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for detecting the operating condition of a universal joint in a driveline assembly utilizes a pressure relief valve that is supported by a universal joint cross member. The cross member includes a central body portion with a plurality of radially extending trunnions. A first driveline component supports a first yoke member and a second driveline component supports a second yoke member. Each yoke member cooperates with two opposing trunnions to interconnect the first and second driveline components. An internal lubrication channel is formed within the cross member and is in fluid communication with each trunnion. Seal assemblies are installed within cups mounted to each trunnion member to seal the lubricating fluid within the cross member. The universal joint is operating properly when lubricating fluid that is injected through an external lubrication fitting during service operations, exits via the pressure relief valve. The universal joint is not operating properly when the lubricating fluid exits via at least one of the seal assemblies instead of through the pressure relief valve.

摘要:
There is provided a fluid regulating device for use in regulating fluid in a fluid-using device, the fluid regulating device comprising: a receiver, to receive fluid under pressure from an external source, a vent, to vent fluid from the fluid-using device, and a regulator, operatively connected between the receiving device and the fluid-using device, to regulate a pressure of the fluid, wherein, upon fluid being received by the receiving device, the valve assembly directs the fluid to the fluid-using device at the regulated pressure.
