US Patent:

56924305, Dec 2, 1997
Filed:

Jun 8, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/488625
Inventors:

Samuel L. McLaughlin - Lafayette IN
Stephen V. Kelly - Peoria IL
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

F01B 3100
US Classification:

92159
Abstract:

An articulated piston apparatus including an improved skirt member wherein the skirt member includes a cooling gallery channel with means for providing a directed flow of lubricant from the cooling gallery channel to the elements of the piston apparatus disposed within the skirt bore, wherein during the upward stroke of the piston apparatus a downwardly directed flow of lubricant flows from the cooling gallery channel through a bore from the cooling gallery channel to the skirt bore and therein impinges those elements of the piston apparatus to assure complete lubrication thereof.

US Patent:

54838690, Jan 16, 1996
Filed:

May 26, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/451245
Inventors:

Allyn P. Bock - Lafayette IN
Stephen V. Kelly - Peoria IL
Samuel L. McLaughlin - Lafayette IN
Brian R. Weller - Lafayette IN
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

F01B 3110
US Classification:

92159
Abstract:

The design and construction of past articulated pistons include an open space between a head portion and an independent skirt portion. The open space allows excess cooling fluid, such as oil, to exit the piston and flow toward the cylinder, increasing oil consumption and carbon deposits within the engine. The present invention overcomes these problems by positioning a sealing means within an open space between a head portion and a skirt portion of an articulated piston. The sealing means completely blocks the oil from exiting the piston while being adequately conformable to allow the necessary articulation between the head and skirt portions.
