  • Floating wrist pin coupling for a piston assembly
    Patent number: 5850777
    Abstract: The floating wrist pin coupling for a piston assembly will rotate within a bearing assembly for an oscillating connecting rod as a piston cycles through compression and suction strokes. As the wrist pin rotates through 360 degrees, the bearings within the bearing assembly are lubricated and subjected to a rotary rather than an oscillating motion as the connecting rod oscillates.
