  • Method of lubricating and lubricant spraying apparatus
    Patent number: 6405810
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a method of lubricating an object. The method involves the steps of spraying lubricant on a rotating object, and synchronizing the duration of spray to the rotation of the object so that the spray continues only for an interval of spray time corresponding to rotation of the object through a predetermined range of rotation. Apparatus for spraying lubricant on a rotating object is also disclosed.

  • Apparatus for controlling and monitoring a lubricating system
    Patent number: 5182720
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling and monitoring a lubricating system having analog sensors and switches indicating the status of the lubricating system. An analog-to-digital converter is responsive to the analog sensors and switches and provides a plurality of digital sensing signals representative of the status of the lubricating system. A provided memory includes a nonvolatile memory for storing instructions. By using a keypad, an operator selects and inputs parameters into the nonvolatile memory. A microprocessor processes the digital sensing signals in accordance with the parameters stored in the nonvolatile memory. Relays are responsive to the microprocessor and initiate lubrication of the lubricating system. A display, responsive to the microprocessor, indicates the status of the lubricating system.
