ABSTRACT:
Periodic lubrication of mechanical actuation systems may be avoided in a self-lubricating mechanism for such a system that includes a bidirectional rotary shaft (22), a housing (10), and a one-way clutch (90, 92) having an output element (92) moved in response to one direction of rotation of the shaft (22) and which may remain stationary for the opposite direction of rotation of the shaft (22). Included is a variable volume lubricant reservoir (40, 58) within the housing (10) and a gear system (44, 80, 94, 96, 98) interconnects the output element (92) and the reservoir (40, 58) to continuously feed lubricant therefrom whenever the shaft (22) is rotated in one direction.
