A lubricant reservoir system. The system includes a reservoir for containing lubricant. The reservoir has a top, a bottom, a peripheral wall, and an inlet for delivering lubricant to the reservoir from a supply. The system also includes a follower in the reservoir slidingly and sealingly engaging the peripheral wall of the reservoir, the follower moving up and down in the reservoir in response to a changing level of lubricant in the reservoir. The lubricant reservoir system has a shut-off valve in fluid communication with the inlet for selectively preventing lubricant flow through the inlet. The valve is operatively connected to the follower for closing the valve and preventing lubricant flow through the inlet when lubricant in the reservoir reaches a predetermined level.

The reservoir may be filled through the top and/or bottom of the reservoir body. 1a reservoir tube defining an inner area;a fitting/coupled situated in the top of the reservoir tube;a grease inlet/outlet port situated within the fitting/coupling;a bladder situated inside the inner area and coupled to the grease inlet/outlet port, the bladder for containing grease; anda pressure mechanism situated in the inner area and outside of the bladder for forcing the bladder to constrict and force the grease from the bladder through the inlet/outlet port.. A refillable and rechargeable reservoir body comprising: The present invention claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/658,661 filed on Jun. 12, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.1. Field of the InventionThe present invention is generally related to the operation of grease guns. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a system and method for refilling the reservoir of a grease gun.2. IntroductionGrease guns utilize a reservoir, for example, tubes or cartridges, to hold grease while a plunger, pull rod mechanism, or other similar mechanism forces grease from the reservoir to a dispenser. When the gun runs out of grease, the tube in reservoir is usually replaced. Replacing the reservoir generally means removing the spent tube or cartridge and replacing it with a new one. Replacing the reservoir also means that one comes into contact with grease residue contained in the old reservoir or grease from the new reservoir resulting in an unwanted mess. Moreover, disposal of the spent reservoir becomes an environmental concern because of the remaining grease residue. Though the grease gun has been improved over the years, grease residue resulting from the process of switching from an old grease reservoir ...

A lubrication oil fine-tuning device comprising:a tank coated by a nano electromagnetic wave coating on outside of the tank.2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tank is adapted to engine system claim 1 , transmission and differential. The present invention relates to a device able to fine-tune lubrication oil, and more particularly, to a device coated by a nano electromagnetic wave coating outside of the oil tank.The expenses for most of the machineries, ships or traffic vehicles and airplanes generally comprises the fuel expense, the maintenance expense and repair expense, wherein the expense for changing engine oil is one of the main expenses among the expenses mentioned above. The engine oil has different standards and quality, if the engine oil does not meet the requirements when using the engines, the friction between working parts is significant and this reduces the life term of the engine. Besides, if the coefficient of the lubrication of the engine oil is low, the engine may consume more fuel than expected.Most of the vehicles use fuel such as diesel and gasoline, the quality of the fuel affects the operation of the engine. Carbon accumulation happens if the combustion process in the engine is incomplete, and this will cause air pollution and reduces the efficiency of performance of the engine. This situation requires more fuel and the friction between the parts is getting serious. There are many different types of fuel saving devices in the market, wherein two of them are popular, one is a tubular device fixed to the fuel pipe and the other one is a pill which is dropped into the fuel tank.

A protection mechanism for a lubricant reservoir is mounted within a valve protection chamber disposed on an actuator. The protection mechanism includes a valve actuating plate and an elastic member biasing the valve actuating plate upwards. The actuator is pushed upwards by a rising level of lubricant as the lubricant reservoir is filled. When the reservoir is full, the actuator causes the valve actuating plate to contact a valve stem. The valve actuating plate pushes the valve stem up to shut off a flow of lubricant to the reservoir through the shut off valve. During an overfill event the actuator shifts upward due to the rising level of the lubricant in the reservoir. As the actuator shifts upward, the elastic member compresses such that valve actuating plate remains static relative to the lubricant reservoir as actuator rises. 1.

A lubricant separator is disclosed. The lubricant separator can cause lubricant which is entrained with a heat transfer fluid (e.g., a lubricant—heat transfer fluid mixture) to coalesce and fall (e.g., via gravity) into a bottom portion of a lubricant tank assembly. The lubricant separator can also reduce a velocity of the lubricant—heat transfer fluid mixture as it enters the lubricant tank assembly. The velocity reduction can, for example, reduce an amount of splashing of the lubricant that occurs as the lubricant—heat transfer fluid mixture enters the lubricant tank assembly. The velocity reduction can also, for example, be relatively more conducive to lubricant droplets falling into the bottom portion of the lubricant tank assembly as the flow of the heat transfer fluid is provided to a heat transfer fluid return conduit of the lubricant tank assembly.

An oil tank filling system for filling the oil tank of a gas turbine engine. The system includes an oil tank located within the core of the engine, an engine oil filling port located on a bifurcation below the core of the engine, and an oil tank filling pipe that leads from the engine oil filling port to a tank filling port on the oil tank. The engine oil filling port is detachably connectable to an off-engine oil pump that when connected to the engine oil filling port and supplied with oil pumps oil into the engine oil filling port and through the oil tank filling pipe to the tank filling port to fill the oil tank. A method of filling the oil tank of a gas turbine engine and a gas turbine engine that includes the oil tank filling system are also disclosed.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC FLUID MEASUREMENT

Номер: US20190343107A1
Автор: Bastin Bruce, Tollefsrud Aaron
Принадлежит: CNH INDUSTRIAL AMERICA LLC

An agricultural product application implement includes a system and method for indicating an amount of fluid stored. A pressure transducer installed at the sump of a fluid tank electronically measures and displays a fluid depth. Instrumentation, such as an instrument cluster unit for the implement, is programmed via software to convert the voltage output of the pressure transducer to a volume measurement displayed in the operator's line of sight. Software within the instrument cluster unit for self-calibrating accounts for varying densities of different chemical solutions. The pressure transducer is used in conjunction with a transfer medium to prevent corrosive chemical solutions from contacting the pressure transducer. 1. A self-propelled agricultural product sprayer applicator comprising:a frame;{'b': '20', 'a tank positioned over the frame and having an interior volume () for holding an agricultural chemical solution;'}an operator cab positioned over the frame and forward of the tank and including an instrument cluster unit (ICU);wherein the tank includes a pressure transducer disposed on a base of the interior volume of the tank for sensing an amount of pressure within the tank resulting from an agricultural chemical solution held within the tank and generating an electrical pressure signal corresponding to the amount of pressure;wherein the ICU includes a controller operable to receive the electrical pressure signal to determine an amount of agricultural chemical solution within the tank based on the amount of pressure and the interior volume, and to generate a measurement signal corresponding to the amount of agricultural chemical solution; andwherein the ICU further includes a display operable to receive the measurement signal and to display the amount of agricultural chemical solution held within the tank to an operator of the sprayer applicator while the operator is in a forward facing position.2. The sprayer applicator of claim 1 , further comprising a ...
