Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for supplying liquid or viscous media, in particular • lubricants, according to the preamble of claim 1.
• An automatic lubricant dispenser in which a device for gas development is provided in a tightly closed, expandable body, which device consists of a galvanic element, the positive electrode of which is electrically connected to the negative electrode, the two Electrodes can be brought into a space enclosed by the electrolyte fluid in the expandable body by means of a screw, whereupon the development of gas is triggered, which builds up pressure in the expandable body, by means of which it expands to a certain extent every day and thereby a lubricant channel feeds lubricant from the lubricant-filled space to a lubrication point (DE-PS 12 56001).
• the gas-generating element Due to the inclusion of the gas-generating element in the sliding separating insert itself, for example, holders for the element before start-up and for the ejection screw in the container lid can be dispensed with.
• an electrolyte liquid and a corrosion element are provided for gas generation, which are separated by an electrolyte-impermeable film before starting, then both can be accommodated in a cavity of the sliding separating insert.
• To start is by a z. B. perforated through a hole in the container lid or the like. The film is perforated so that electrolyte liquid can get to the corrosion element, whereby the reaction is initiated.
• the hole in the container lid can be easily closed again.
• an anode and a cathode can also be arranged so as to be immersed in the electrolyte liquid, which are switched into an internal or external circuit, possibly with the interposition of a current source.
• a cathode and a decomposing anode can be immersed in two chambers with electrolyte fluid which are divided by a diaphragm.
• the current generated by the anode decomposition can be regulated by switching on external or internal resistors. In this way, the gassing rate can be controlled, adjusted and switched off in a simple manner.
• this cell is switched into a circuit, wherein parts of the power line can be led out of the container to the outside to a switch or the like.
• the resistance determining the quantity to be dispensed can be provided in the sliding separating insert or outside the container.
• the slidable partition set can, as described in claims 12 to 13, as a piston made of z. B. plastic be formed with a recess for the gas-generating element. So that no gas penetrates through the plastic, the piston can be coated with a metallic layer.
• the container be made divided, the parting joint being in the region of the compressed gas chamber. In this way, the compressed gas chamber • and the gas-generating element can be exposed without opening the receiving chamber for the medium to be dispensed. This measure is advantageous so that used devices can be regenerated for reuse.
• the lubricating sleeve consists of a container 1, which is closed at the bottom with a funnel-shaped base 3 to be fastened via a thread 2 in the machine part to be lubricated, with an outlet bore 4.
• a piston 6 is slidably inserted, which separates the lubricant chamber 7 facing the bottom 3 from the compressed gas chamber 8 and which in the operating state presses the lubricant from the lubricant chamber 7 through the outlet bore 4 into the machine part to be lubricated.
• a cell 10 consisting of anode, cathode and an electrolyte is inserted in a recess 8 in the piston 6.
• This cell 10 is connected via power lines 11 to an electrical switch 12 arranged outside the container 1.
• switch 12 When switch 12 is closed, a current flows in the circuit and gas development begins in cell 10.
• the gas collects in the compressed gas chamber 8 and moves the piston 6 downwards.
• Lubricant is pressed out of the lubricant chamber 7 through the outlet bore 4.
• 6 sealing rings 13 and 14 are inserted into grooves in the circumferential surface of the piston, which bear against the bore 5 of the container 1 in a prestressed manner .
