Abstract
Oil System for Hinges is a mechanism that provides door hinges with a controlled consistent oiling to prevent the problems related to the lack of lubrication or/and for the sake of scenting. It is mainly a small article placed on the top of the hinge pin cap. It is provided with a lubricant chamber and a lubricant flow-controlling mechanism. The means of controlling the lubricant flow can be passive, active or indirect.
Claims15
1- An article which is placed on a top of a hinge and comprises:
- a lubricant chamber, a controlling mechanism to control the flow of the lubricant and a holder.
2- The lubricant chamber in claim (1) is sealed and prefilled with a lubricant.
3- The controlling mechanism in claim (1) allows a fixed lubricant flow rate.
4- The controlling mechanism in claim (1) allows a gradual lubricant flow rate.
5- The holder in claim (1) is, at least partially, made of a lubricant diffusing material.
6- The controlling mechanism in claim (1) redirects the lubricant flow away from the hinge.
7- The article in claim (1) comprises a sequence of, at least, two horizontally-aligned sets of lubricant chambers and controlling mechanisms wherein a higher set discharges a lubricant to a lower set.
8- The sets in claim (7) are parallel-aligned where each lubricant chamber discharges a lubricant directly to the hinge.
