ABSTRACT:
An oil reservoir assembly for delivering oil through an oil port in a vertical housing wall of a heavy, clumsy, housed mechanism which must be moved into operating position through a restricted access opening. The oil reservoir assembly is attached to the vertical housing wall in oil delivering disposition relative to the oil port. During positioning of the mechanism the reservoir assembly becomes operably associated with the distal end of an oil supply line. The assembly comprises a casing having a wall with a hole therethrough. The casing defines an oil reservoir chamber and is connected to the vertical wall of the mechanism with the oil reservoir chamber in fluid communication with the oil port. A frusto-conically shaped guidance member is mounted within the chamber in alignment with the hole. The guidance member has an internal, conically shaped surface and an inlet at one end of the conically shaped surface which is larger than the oil supply line and a relatively smaller outlet at the opposite end of the surface. The hole in the casing and the inlet and outlet of the guidance member are disposed in general alignment with the oil supply line during positioning of the mechanism whereby the conically shaped internal surface of the guidance member is in position to contact the distal end of the oil line during positioning of the mechanism and guide the distal end of the oil line through the outlet and into its correct operating disposition inside the chamber.
