Patent number: 7789203Abstract: The invention relates to a lubricating device, particularly for use in an apparatus which is used to lubricate mobile lubrication points e.g. on a rotating belt or chain belt. A lubricant discharge body of a lubricating head, which when lubricant is conveyed by a feed pump into a dosing chamber which is separated from the lubricant discharge channel, is placed in a front standby position and, counter to the effect of a restoring force, is moved into a locking and lubricant release position wherein the link between the pump and the dosing chamber is blocked by a reversing piston and the dosing chamber is fluidically connected to the lubricant discharge channel and a predefined volume of lubricant can be pumped out of the dosing chamber into the lubricant discharge channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2009Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Lincoln GmbHInventors: Zdravko Paluncic, Karl Rodemer

Patent number: 7735608Abstract: A progressive distributor including three or more control pistons (SA to SD), each of which can be displaced in a respective housing bore (A to D) of a distributor housing (G). The pistons are pushed alternately into their two final positions in the corresponding housing bore (A to D) by a lubricant which is supplied under pressure via a housing inlet (E), whereby a specific quantity of the lubricant (VSA to VSD) is delivered by means of an outlet (A1 to A8) on a respective front face. The outlet leads from one of two annular grooves (R) of the housing bore (A to D) of the respective preceding control pistons (SA to SD). The control pistons (SA to SD) are controlled sequentially by the lubricant as a result of the two respective annular grooves (R) in such a way that the following control piston (SA to SD) can only be displaced by the lubricant if the piston displacement of the preceding control piston (SA to SD) has been fully or almost fully completed.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Lincoln GmbHInventor: Zdravko Paluncic

Patent number: 7726448Abstract: A distributor element, in particular a feed distributor, is provided for the metering of lubricants for lubricating installations. The element includes a valve piston featuring a bore. The valve piston moves under the pressure of a lubricant operating at a lubricant inlet against the force of a first return spring from a starting position in which the bore releases a connection between a dispensing chamber and a metering chamber via a connecting passage, to a metering position in which the valve piston releases a passage from the lubricant inlet to the connecting passage and therefore to the metering chamber. Furthermore, the distributor element features a dispensing piston which under the effect of a lubricant entering the metering chamber moves against the force of a second return spring from a starting position and thereby pushes the lubricant volume present in the dispensing chamber between the valve piston and the dispensing piston into a lubricant outlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Lincoln GmbHInventors: Zdravko Paluncic, Andreas Schönfeld
