Bearing greasing assembly
View Patent ↗A bearing greasing assembly for simultaneously greasing a plurality of bearings includes an agricultural implement which includes a frame and a plurality of rotating tilling. Each of the plurality of rotating tilling elements includes a bearing which has a grease input. A supply grease conduit is attached to the frame of the agricultural implement and the supply grease conduit has a zerk. A grease gun can be fluidly attached to the zerk to pump grease into the supply grease conduit through the zerk. The supply grease conduit branches into a plurality of outputs which is each in fluid communication with a respective one of the plurality of bearings. In this way each of the plurality of bearings can receive grease from the zerk.
1. A bearing greasing assembly comprising:
an agricultural implement including a frame which includes a plurality of support arms, said agricultural implement including a plurality of rotating tilling elements each being rotatably disposed on a respective one of said plurality of support arms, each of said plurality of rotating tilling elements including a bearing which has a grease input;
a supply grease conduit being attached to said frame of said agricultural implement, said supply grease conduit having a zerk being strategically positioned on said frame for facilitating a grease gun to be fluidly attached to said zerk to pump grease into said supply grease conduit through said zerk, said supply grease conduit branching into a plurality of outputs, each of said plurality of outputs being in fluid communication with a respective one of said plurality of bearings thereby facilitating each of said plurality of bearings to receive grease from said zerk;
wherein said agricultural implement has a plurality of scraper bars being attached to a respective one of said plurality of support arms, each of said plurality of scraper bars extending laterally above said plurality of rotating tilling elements associated with said respective support arm, each of said plurality of scraper bars having a plurality of holes extending through each of a respective scraper bar, said plurality of holes being spaced apart from each other and being evenly distributed along said respective scraper bar
wherein said supply grease conduit has an input portion and a pair of a output portions branching from said input portion, said input portion having a distal end with respect to said pair of output portions, said zerk being fluidly disposed on said distal end, each of said output portions extending along a respective one of said scraper bars.
2. The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of conduit clamps, each of said conduit clamps being wrapped around a respective one of said pair of output portions of said supply grease conduit, each of said plurality of conduit clamps including a fastener which extends through a respective one of said plurality of holes in a respective one of said plurality of scraper bars for attaching each of said pair of output portions of said supply grease conduit to said respective scraper bars.
3. The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of output grease conduits, each of said plurality of output grease conduits being fluidly coupled to said supply grease conduit thereby facilitating each of said plurality of output grease conduits to receive the grease that is pumped into said supply grease conduit, each of said plurality of output grease conduits defining a respective one of said outputs of said supply grease conduit.
4. The assembly according to claim 3 , wherein each of said plurality of output grease conduits is fluidly coupled to said grease input of a respective one of said plurality of bearings associated with said plurality of rotating tilling elements thereby facilitating each of said plurality of bearings to receive the grease from said plurality of output grease conduits for simultaneously greasing each of said plurality of bearings from said zerk on said supply grease conduit.
5. The assembly according to claim 3 , wherein each of said plurality of output grease conduits is strategically formed to conform to structural features of said agricultural implement thereby inhibiting said plurality of output grease conduits from being damaged by impact resulting from tilling soil.
6. A bearing greasing assembly comprising:
an agricultural implement including a frame which includes a plurality of support arms, said agricultural implement including a plurality of rotating tilling elements each being rotatably disposed on a respective one of said plurality of support arms, each of said plurality of rotating tilling elements including a bearing which has a grease input, said agricultural implement having a plurality of scraper bars being attached to a respective one of said plurality of support arms, each of said plurality of scraper bars extending laterally above said plurality of rotating tilling elements associated with said respective support arm, each of said plurality of scraper bars having a plurality of holes extending through each of a respective scraper bar, said plurality of holes being spaced apart from each other and being evenly distributed along said respective scraper bar;
a supply grease conduit being attached to said frame of said agricultural implement, said supply grease conduit having a zerk being strategically positioned on said frame for facilitating a grease gun to be fluidly attached to said zerk to pump grease into said supply grease conduit through said zerk, said supply grease conduit branching into a plurality of outputs, each of said plurality of outputs being in fluid communication with a respective one of said plurality of bearings thereby facilitating each of said plurality of bearings to receive grease from said zerk, said supply grease conduit having an input portion and a pair of a output portions branching from said input portion, said input portion having a distal end with respect to said pair of output portions, said zerk being fluidly disposed on said distal end, each of said output portions extending along a respective one of said scraper bars;
a plurality of conduit clamps, each of said conduit clamps being wrapped around a respective one of said pair of output portions of said supply grease conduit, each of said plurality of conduit clamps including a fastener which extends through a respective one of said plurality of holes in a respective one of said plurality of scraper bars for attaching each of said pair of output portions of said supply grease conduit to said respective scraper bars; and
a plurality of output grease conduits, each of said plurality of output grease conduits being fluidly coupled to a respective one of said pair of output portions of said supple grease conduit thereby facilitating each of said plurality of output grease conduits to receive the grease that is pumped into said supply grease conduit, each of said plurality of output grease conduits defining a respective one of said outputs of said supply grease conduit, each of said plurality of output grease conduits being fluidly coupled to said grease input of a respective one of said plurality of bearings associated with said plurality of rotating tilling elements thereby facilitating each of said plurality of bearings to receive the grease from said plurality of output grease conduits for simultaneously greasing each of said plurality of bearings from said zerk on said supply grease conduit, each of said plurality of output grease conduits being strategically formed to conform to structural features of said agricultural implement thereby inhibiting said plurality of output grease conduits from being damaged by impact resulting from tilling soil.
