To be used with an internal combustion engine having a crank case wherein engine oil is contained, and an engine internal oil pressure system structured to distribute lubricating oil to moving and wearing parts of the engine from the crank case, an engine pre-lubrication system which includes an oil reservoir to contain a quantity of engine oil to be supplied through an oil flow corridor of the reservoir to the engine internal oil pressure system for pre-lubrication of the engine. The pre-lubrication system is structured to constantly maintain an acceptable supply of oil within the reservoir and will supply pre-lubricating oil upon a burst of air being initiated and directed into the oil reservoir, through an air flow corridor, so as to displace oil contained in the reservoir out through the oil flow corridor for pre-lubrication of the engine.

An engine-pressurized prestart oiler for an engine having pressure lubrication is provided, which rapidly lubricates critical engine bearing surfaces prior to the starting sequence. An accumulator for storing oil and pressurized air contains an air-oil separation float, which essentially fills the internal cross-sectional area and prevents absorption of the air. Discharge and recharge of the accumulator is preferably implemented by a normally closed solenoid valve. Discharge is controlled either manually by a switch or automatically by circuitry containing ignition-off time and accumulator pressure comparators, a starter interrupter, and a prestart oiling timer. Recharge is automatic, as the solenoid valve allows oil flow whenever the engine oil pressure sufficiently exceeds the accumulator pressure. A conduit connects the accumulator, solenoid valve, and engine, connecting to the engine either at the oil pressure sensor port or through an adaptor installed between the oil filter and the oil filter mount.

The present invention relates to pre-ignition lubrication mechanisms for internal combustion engines, and more particularly to a pressurized pre-combustion oiling mechanism for use with internal combustion engines. The present invention provides an accumulator tank containing either air or an easily condensible gas. The pressurized oil causes the air or gas in the bag to become compressed, causing a decrease in occupied volume in proportion to the pressure induced by the oil to allow the oil to occupy a suitable portion of the tank. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the pressurized oil would cause the condensible gas to undergo a phase change and liquify. Conventional valving known in the state of the art is provided to allow the accumulated pressurized oil to be used prior to a subsequent engine startup, and conventional electronic control systems are provided to engage and disengage the aforementioned valves for a proper pre-ignition lubrication sequence. The present invention also provides a means of enhancing the volume of oil delivered by the accumulator.

A primary pump system for lubricating an internal combustion engine includes a pump constructed and arranged to pump lubricant to an engine prior to engine cranking and continuously during operation of the engine. A variable speed electric motor is constructed and arranged to drive the pump independently of engine speed. A controller controls operation of the motor and thus the operation of the pump. An engine load sensor senses a load on the engine. The controller is responsive to a signal received from the engine load sensor to control the motor so that the pump may supply lubricant to the engine in accordance with engine load.

An oil filter pump system for automatically prelubricating an internal combustion engine, uses a well known conventional oil filter design further including inlet and outlet check valves and a flexible membrane operatively connected to a prime mover. The prime mover actuates the flexible membrane back and forth from an unbiased at rest position according to an operating cycle programmed into an electronic controller. The electronic controller switches control power from the normally provided battery according to an operating cycle. The elapsed time of the operating cycle is smaller than the elapsed time for the previous prelubricating cycle to become ineffective from oil dripping from working surfaces desired to be protected from wear. The alternate movement of the flexible membrane cooperating with the inlet and outlet check valve scheme converts the conventional oil filter into an effective diaphragm pump readily connected to the normally provided engine lubricating galleries for the purpose of discharging a portion of lubricating fluid removed from the normally provided oil sump in a conventional internal combustion engine. In another embodiment, an adapter kit assembly is made to mate to a conventional oil filter by means of clamping the assembly around the conventional oil filter. A set of orifices is easily punctured in the upper wall of the conventional oil filter. An inlet and outlet check valve scheme is provided and with a prime mover alternately moving a flexible membrane in the adapter kit, converts the combination into an effective diaphragm pump. Power transmission means to the flexible membrane can be pneumatic, mechanical, electromagnetic, hydraulic, among others. According to another aspect of the invention, a method for automatically prelubricating an engine includes the steps of providing an electronic controller means coupled to a pump for automatically switching control power from the battery to the prime mover according to an operating cycle program. Programming the electronic controller with the operating cycle program which is defined as the elapsing of a first period of time added to the elapsing of a second period of time. Actuating the oil filter pump during the elapsing of the first period of time to pump and discharge the lubricating oil contained in the oil sump into the engine lubricating galleries. Thereafter, elapsing of the second period of time. And, thereafter repeating the operating cycle whereby by continuously repeating the operating cycle the engine is automatically prelubricated and primed, and protected from wear by simultaneous priming and prelubricating.

A lubricant supply system is provided for the induction system of a marine propulsion engine. The lubricant supply system delivers lubricant to the a flow controlling valve in the induction system upon shutting down of the engine and can be operated manually at the discretion of a user. The lubricant serves to reduce the likelihood of post-operation corrosion of the valve, particularly at the sliding support surfaces of the valve and also provides lubricant from start-up operation.
