US Patent:

40685632, Jan 17, 1978

Filed:

Sep 27, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/726828

Inventors:

Fred W. Ryan - Seahurst WA
Robert J. Webber - Edmonds WA

International Classification:

F01B 3110
F16J 104

US Classification:

92157

Abstract:

A seal for use within the interior portions of a piston, primarily on a diesel engine which has a pressurized oil supply which is forced upwardly through the connecting rod and sprayed on to the upper portion of the piston. The seal substantially closes the area between the connecting rod and the interior sidewalls of the piston skirt. The oil is thus restricted in flow, building up pressure within the top portion of the piston and causing the oil to contact the upper interior portion for cooling the piston and further, forced to lubricate the bushings on the wrist pin.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A pulleyless weightlifting apparatus including a pair of bases, a pair of counterweights, a pair of stop pins, a pair of cables and a pair of vertical tubular posts. Each vertical tubular post is bent into a "U" shape at its upper end and its lower end is attached to the respective upper ends of the pair of bases. Each of the counterweights are connected to one end of the respective pair of cables and are then inserted into the channels of the respective vertical tubular posts. The opposite cable ends are attached to connectors which are connected to a dumbbell cable harness or attachments on a barbell. The vertical tubular posts include a series of apertures to receive stop pins for providing a range of height adjustment for the counterweights which allow the weightbearing bar to be suspended at any desired elevated position. The upper "U" shape ends of the vertical tubular posts allow the cables to be moved in an ascending and descending direction without the use of pulleys. This weightlifting apparatus allows unrestricted movement of a weightbearing bar and provides safety to the user not available with other free weight systems.
