Abstract: An oil lubricating system mounted on a vibrating plate compactor has a center chamber and outer chambers in the housing partitioned by a pair of bearings on the left and the right axially attached to the rotor shaft in the housing, and the oil in the housing is supplied not only to the center chamber but also to the outside chambers sufficiently by the rotation of the eccentric rotor to thereby impart uniform lubrication to the inner and the outer edges of the bearings for improving durability. As ameans to supply the oil from the center chamber to the outside chambers, hollow oil supply passages are provided on the left and the right rotor shafts axially mounted to the bearings to let the oil in the housing flow from the center chamber to the outer chambers.

Abstract: A wick actuating device of the lever actuation type for an oil burner is disclosed which is capable of not only vertically moving a wick but variably setting the ignition position of the wick as desired. The wick actuating device includes an operation lever loosely fitted on a wick operating shaft, a shaft actuation lever fixedly fitted on the shaft and a connection mechanism for connecting both levers to each other. The connection mechanism includes a slit formed at the operation lever and a pin slidably mounted on the shaft actuation lever and movably fitted in the slit. The slit is formed to be oblique with respect to the sliding direction of the pin so that the operation lever is engaged with the shaft actuation lever through the slit and pin at an angle which is varied depending upon the position of the pin in the slit.

Abstract: A device for vertically moving a wick in an oil burner is disclosed which is capable of constantly ensuring the normal combustion operation of the oil burner. The device includes a drive shaft having a pinion, a rack disposed adjacent to a wick receiving chamber of the burner which is engaged with the pinion and connected to a wick to vertically move it when the drive shaft is rotated, and a stop member for stopping the movement of the rack with respect to the pinion only when the wick is lowered to the minimum normal combustion position to thereby ensure the normal combustion.
