Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device that compresses material in a glass cylinder using a moving piston, and then expels it through an exhaust valve when the pressure is high enough. When the pressure is reduced, the exhaust valve prevents the material from flowing back into the cylinder. This device can provide a steady supply of compressed material without the need for lubrication.

Problems solved by technology

However, such compressors do not operate without a lubricant by utilizing a graphite piston in a glass cylinder.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]While the following describes embodiments of this invention, it is understood that this description is to be considered only as illustrative of the principles of the invention and is not to be limitative thereof, as numerous other variations, all within the scope of the invention, will readily occur to others.

[0030]The term “adapted” shall mean sized, shaped, configured, dimensioned, oriented and arranged as appropriate. Herein, it will also be understood that in the figures, different embodiments may comprise the same or similar components. Where the same components are used in different embodiments, the same reference number may be used. Where components in different embodiments have a comparable structure, but are not necessarily common or identical parts, a similar number is used, but with a differing initial first digit, but common second and third digits. For example, and without limitation, cylinder heads 140, 240, 540, and 640 are examples of similar structures adapted...

Abstract

A substantially lubricant-free compressor comprising a glass cylinder having a hollow interior, a graphite piston within the glass cylinder, a connecting rod operably attached to the graphite piston, a cylinder head sealing one end of the glass cylinder, an exhaust valve in operable connection with the hollow interior of the glass cylinder, and an inlet valve in operable connection with the hollow interior of the glass cylinder. The compressor may be driven by any suitable means including without limitation a brushless DC motor or a smart material actuator.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a non-provisional application based upon, and claims benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 723,815, filed Nov. 8, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention relates in general to the field of gas compressors. Compressors are known in the art. However, such compressors do not operate without a lubricant by utilizing a graphite piston in a glass cylinder. The present invention provides embodiments of compressors with several advantages over the prior art including improved transportability, reduced size, reduced power consumption, operation with little or no lubrication, and increased operational life.[0003]This application hereby incorporates by reference U.S. Publication Numbers 2011-0309721; 2012-0038245; 2013-0234562; 2013-0234561, U.S. patents:[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 7,564,171[0005]U.S. Pat. No. 6,717,332;[0006]U.S. Pat. No. 6,548,938;[0007]U.S. Pat. No. 6,737,788;[0008]...
