  • Patent number: 6390034
    Abstract: A reciprocating impact tool such as a rammer or a breaker is provided with a lubricating oil supply system that supplies lubricating oil to a fuel supply line of the tool's two-cycle engine, thereby eliminating the need to premix the fuel and oil. The oil is supplied at a rate that varies with the speed of the reciprocating member of the tool, thereby assuring that the fuel and oil are mixed in the proper proportions. The oil pump delivers oil to the fuel supply line well-upstream of the engine's carburetor or other fuel supply device, thereby taking advantage of movement and vibration of the reciprocating member to assure that the delivered oil is thoroughly mixed with the fuel in the fuel line before the mixture is inducted into the engine's combustion chamber, leading to complete atomization of the oil and resultant benefits, including improved lubrication and complete combustion of the oil.
