  • Patent number: 5687815
    Abstract: An arrangement in connection with a lubricant dispenser including a frame, which frame contains a metering cylinder and a metering piston moving therein as well as structure for conducting lubricant alternately to each side of the metering piston. The structure for conducting lubricant includes a spindle positioned in the cylinder and provided with passages remaining open during pressurization, the spindle being arranged to move in the cylinder so as to permit flow of lubricant in consequence of a movement of the spindle alternately either via a control valve to one side or the other of the metering piston or directly to one side or the other of the metering piston, depending on dispenser. To improve selection of material, the spindle is arranged to move only by rotating around its longitudinal symmetry axis. The rotary movement of the spindle is arranged to be provided by a separate turning part moving back and forth and rotating influenced by lubricant pressure and spring force.
