Device to retain lubricant in a lubricating assembly and implementation thereof

A compressor, comprising:

• a splash lubricating system with a shaft member with a central longitudinal axis and a lubricant reservoir component configured to fit onto the shaft member, the lubricant reservoir component comprising a clamp body with a top, a bottom, and an outer peripheral edge that forms an annular profile that at least partially circumscribes the central longitudinal axis of the shaft member, the clamp body having a first bore with a first diameter and a second bore concentric with the first bore, the second bore having a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is less than the second diameter so as to from a first peripheral wall that bounds a reservoir region disposed at the bottom of the clamp body and at least partially below the shaft member and wherein the clamp body has a first clamp surface and an opposing second clamp surface that are annularly spaced apart from one another to form the first annular gap in the annular profile at the top of the clamp body.
