  • Piston pin bushing cooler
    Patent number: 6609485
    Abstract: A piston pin bore cooler for cooling and lubricating a piston pin bore bushings, piston pin and connecting rod bushings, includes an oil jet, the oil jet directing a spray of lubricating oil at the underside of a crown of a reciprocating piston for cooling the crown; and a deflector formed interior to a piston skirt presenting a deflector surface, the deflector surface intersecting the spray of lubricating oil for at least a portion of the duration of a each reciprocation of the reciprocating piston and deflecting the intersected the spray of lubricating oil to cool and lubricate the bushings. An opening is provided adjacent the deflector through which the spray may pass during other portions of the reciprocation. A deflector assembly, a piston skirt, and a method of cooling and lubricating a pin and bushings are further included.
