  • Patent number: 6328227
    Abstract: Device for generating a lubricant spray in a compressed air line having an air passage channel (2) in a housing (1), a regulating valve (5), in particular a proportional valve, which can change, via a control flap (14), the free cross-section of passage between the inlet (3) and the outlet (4) of the air passage channel (2) in dependence on the pressure difference, and with a lubricant supply container (7) connected to the inlet (3) of the air passage channel (2) via a filling valve (6) comprising a valve body (15) and connected to the outlet (4) via a suction line (rising pipe 8) and an oil sprayer (12), wherein the filling valve (6) closes at a pressure difference of more than approximately 1 bar, wherein the regulating valve (5) and the filling valve (6) are disposed close to one another and the control flap (14) of the regulating valve (5) and the valve body (15) of the filling valve (6) are made from a single piece of elastic material.

  • Patent number: 6241491
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pulse-triggered device for supplying an apportioned minimum amount of fluid, particularly oil for lubricating pneumatic systems. A valve actuated positive-displacement member may be moved using a pulse-triggered device located inside of a positive-displacement chamber, through which the fluid is supplied from a feeding channel to a discharge channel. A valve body, separate from the positive-displacement member is subjected to spring tension and may be lifted away from a valve seat connecting the two channels.
