  • Patent number: 7748908
    Abstract: A bearing device for uniformly distributing lubricating oil between first and second bushing sliding surfaces and a connection pin is provided. The connection pin is inserted into the first bushing that is inserted into a boss member. The second bushings are inserted into a pair of bracket members. An oil storage portion is formed at a middle part of the connection pin, and is communicated to an oil feed channel that feeds lubricating oil from the outside. First sealing members and second sealing members are disposed in the first bushing and the second bushings, respectively. A pair of first channels and a second channel are formed inside the connection pin. The first channels are opened in locations in proximity to the first sealing members. The second channel is communicated to this first channel and the oil storage chamber.

  • Patent number: 6354822
    Abstract: Oil retention recesses are formed in an outer periphery of the slider block of a scroll compressor. The recesses insure that a quantity of oil is captured and maintained during operation and after shutdown of the scroll compressor. If the scroll compressor is operated or started back up during a “starved” lubricant condition, the captured oil insures the scroll compressor can operate without damage for a period of time such that lubricant can be returned to the sealed compressor.

  • Patent number: 4930601
    Abstract: A lubricating system for a mechanism having a rotatable shaft supported in a housing by bearings. The lubrication system includes an open-ended axially extending fluid passage defined by the shaft, a fluid conduit defined by the housing, and a disc-shaped fluid diverter for fluidically joining the fluid passage in the shaft with the fluid conduit in the housing. The fluid diverter is arranged at the open-end of the shaft and includes a concentric hollow pilot portion extending at least partially, within the fluid passage in the shaft. The fluid diverter defines a series of open-ended channels which radially extend from and are joined in fluid communication with the hollow pilot portion. At least one port extends from the channel to direct lubrication toward the bearings supporting the shaft. Annular seals provided at the radial edges of the disc-shaped fluid diverter facilitate fluid flow between the channels in the diverter and the fluid passage in the housing.
