Splash lubricating system for an engine
A splash lubrication system is described for an engine comprising a crank case, a crank room formed in the crank case, an oil reserving room formed in a lower part of the crank case for lubricating oil, and an oil splasher. The splasher extends from a big end of a connecting rod downward so as to splash oil from the oil reserving room to the crank room on its way from a front side to a back side along the lower part of its orbit. The improvement described here comprises: a transverse partition substantially covering the oil reserving room, disposed at an upper space thereof, having an opening which allows the oil splasher to move therein. It includes three buffer plates covering front, right and left sides of the opening respectively for controlling oil level thereunder.
