Abstract
A lubricant additive dispensing apparatus comprising a tubular housing having a fluid supply passageway and a fluid discharge passageway; a filtration element; a fluid additive element (containing a volume of fluid additive); and a biasing element. The filtration element, fluid additive element and biasing element are assembled in a linear arrangement parallel to a central axis of the dispenser main body. The arrangement is such where the biasing element applies a compression force to each of the filtration element and the fluid additive element.
Claims20
A lubricant additive dispenser, the dispenser comprising:
- a dispenser main body comprising:
- a main body tubular housing comprising a tubular shaped section, a fluid supply passageway and a fluid discharge passageway,
- a filtration element;
- a fluid additive element;
- a biasing element;
- and
- a biasing element end cap, the biasing element end cap being secured to one end of the biasing element,
- wherein the filtration element, the fluid additive element and the biasing element are assembled in a linear arrangement parallel to a central axis of the dispenser main body,
- wherein the biasing element end cap is sized and shaped to slideably engage with an interior surface of the tubular shaped section,
- wherein the biasing element applies a compression force to each of the filtration element and the fluid additive element,
- wherein the compression force aids in dispensing of a fluid additive into the lubricant.
A lubricant additive dispenser, the dispenser comprising:
- a dispenser main body comprising:
- a main body tubular housing comprising a tubular shaped section, a fluid supply passageway and a fluid discharge passageway,
- a filtration element;
- a fluid additive element containing a volume fluid additive, the fluid additive element comprising an additive dispensing system adapted to dispense the fluid additive into a lubricant;
- and
- a biasing element;
- wherein the filtration element, the fluid additive element and the biasing element are assembled in a linear arrangement, parallel to a central axis of the dispenser main body,
