Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of the priority from U.S. Provisional Application having Ser. No. 60/596,478, filed Sep. 27, 2005, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for separating air and oil and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for eliminating oil residue emitted from an engine used for powering motor vehicles, especially motorcycles. The apparatus includes a lower chamber separated by a plate having a plurality of openings and having at least one window located near a bottom of the chamber, an upper chamber having at least one slot, and a flexible membrane separating the upper and lower chambers.
- Many apparatus for separating the phases of the oil and gas mixture emitted from an internal combustion engine are known in the art. However, no known effective and economical apparatus exists which eliminates oil blowby emitted from the breather systems in motorcycle engines. Poor oil separation in the cylinder heads of the motorcycle engine is caused by the stock breather valves being overwhelmed by the volume of oil and air mist that reaches the valves during a really hard and/or long motorcycle ride. The oil mist that is released through the engine breather system ultimately ends up coating the side of the motorcycle, the motorcycle driver, and any passenger riding on the motorcycle.
- Accordingly, there is a need for an effective and economical apparatus which eliminates blowby emitted from the breather system of motorcyle engines by separating oil from the air that is generated within the crankcase. The present invention does exactly that and has also been found to completely eliminate oil blowby generated within the crankcase/cam chest area of the TWINCAM 88 engine used in HARLEY DAVIDSON motorcycles thereby eliminating oil from being discharged out of the cylinder head outlets and into the environment.
- The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for separating air and oil emitted from an engine of a motor vehicle, and is especially directed to a method and apparatus for eliminating oil blowby generated from motorcycle engines by separating the oil from the air that is generated from the motorcycle engines. The apparatus includes a lower chamber that is separated by a plate having a plurality of openings contained therein and which includes at least one window near a bottom of the chamber, an upper chamber having at least one slot, and a flexible membrane separating the upper and lower chambers.
- In one example of the present invention, a vent body may include the upper chamber, the lower chamber, and the flexible membrane, and the apparatus may also include a gasket positioned beneath the lower chamber of the vent body. In another example, the apparatus may include a lid positioned over the upper chamber of the vent body.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the lower chamber may be cylindrical in shape and the circumference of the upper chamber may be greater than the circumference/perimeter of the lower chamber. The present invention may also include one or more of 1) a snap ring positioned on top of the flexible membrane, 2) a washer positioned between the flexible membrane and the snap ring, and 3) a stanchion located below near the upper chamber and below any lid positioned over the upper chamber.
- In still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the lower chamber of the apparatus may include three windows and the upper chamber may include two slots.
- The invention also includes a method for making a device or apparatus that eliminates oil residue emitted from an engine which includes the steps of providing a device having a lower chamber separated by a plate having a plurality of openings and at least one window near a bottom of the chamber, an upper chamber having at least one slot, and a flexible membrane separating the upper and lower chambers, attaching the device to an engine in place of the engine's breather system, and placing a lid over the device.
- The figures illustrate various embodiments of the present invention by way of example, and not by way of limitation. Embodiments of the present invention may include part or all of the features shown in one of these figures, or may include features form two or more figures. Embodiments of the present invention may also include features described in the specification, or elements of features described in the specification.
- Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention may include features that would be familiar to a person of ordinary skill in the art having studied this document. Thus, a more complete understanding of the present invention may be derived by referring to the detailed description and claims when considered in connection with the drawing figures where like reference numbers refer to similar elements throughout the figures, and

Washer 26 andsnap ring 28 are optional elements andlid 30 may also be optional depending upon the specific application of the device. -
Device 10 also includes astanchion 32 which extends from a top of thevent body 23 near theupper chamber 20.FIG. 3 illustrates a side elevational view of the exemplary embodiment of thedevice 10 for separating air and oil shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . The side elevational view inFIG. 3 shows thedevice 10 upside down such that thelower chamber 12 extends beyond a bottom of thevent body 23 andstanchion 32 extends beyond a top of thevent body 23. - Another exemplary embodiment of
device 10 may also include agasket 40 having at least onewindow 42 as shown inFIG. 4 .Window 42 may also contain adeflection bar 44.Gasket 40 shown inFIG. 4 includes twowindows 42, each having adeflection bar 44.Gasket 40 also includesopenings 46 for securing the gasket to ventbody 23.Gasket 40 also includes alarger opening 48 to accommodate air flow through thestanchion 32.Gasket 50 is an additional, optional gasket which may be used in securingdevice 10 in place especially if it replaces an existing stock breather module for an engine. - In use, air and oil are introduced into
device 10 upon the upstroke of an engine piston. In the exemplary embodiment which includesgasket 40, an air/oil mist contacts thewindows 42 which containdeflection bars 44 and initiates a separation process of the air and oil. The air/oil mist then enters thelower chamber 12 ofvent body 23 and engages the interior oflower chamber 12 which is in the center ofvent body 23.Lower chamber 12 is shown as being cylindrical in shape inFIGS. 1 and 2 but may comprise any number of various geometric shapes. As the air/oil mist engages the interior oflower chamber 12, it continues a separation process by dividing the air/oil mist 90 degrees to each side of thelower chamber 12 at which point the remaining air/oil mist engages the threewindows 18 located near the bottom portion of lower chamber 12 (seeFIG. 1 ). - The separation process then continues as the air/oil mist is pushed up through the plurality of
openings 16 contained inplate 14 that is positioned withinlower chamber 12 and located underflexible membrane 24. This further separates the air/oil mixture. The air/oil mixture then further separates as it passes under theflexible membrane 24 and up intoupper chamber 20 which is located abovelower chamber 12.Upper chamber 20 has a circumference that is greater than the circumference oflower chamber 12. - The final separation process takes place as the reduced air/oil mixture is separated by means of at least one
slot 22 contained in theupper chamber 20.FIG. 2 shows twoslots 22 contained inupper chamber 20 which divert any remaining oil to exit thevent body 23 and route it back into the rocker box proper. The remaining air is then routed to the raisedstanchion 32 located in the front portion ofvent body 23 which directs the processed air to the cylinder breather outlets. - One exemplary embodiment of
device 10 is specifically designed to replace the umbrella valve module located in the upper portion of the HARLEY DAVIDSON TWIN CAM 88 rocker box assembly which has been produced by the Harley Davidson Motor Company since 1999. -
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a kit for eliminating oil residue emitted from an engine which includes the exemplary embodiment of thedevice 10 shown inFIG. 5 .Device 10 shown inFIG. 6 shows theflexible membrane 24,washer 26, andsnap ring 28 positioned withinvent body 23. - The foregoing description is of exemplary embodiments of the subject invention.
