Abstract
The invention is directed to a transmission assembly comprising: a power output delivery end and a power input end; a pocket bearing operative between the power delivery end and the input end of the transmission; a lubricant containing housing remote from the pocket bearing in the transmission; a lubricant conduit system extending from said housing to said power input end of the transmission; a lubricant pump in said housing responsive to transmission operation for throwing lubricant outwardly under pressure within said housing; and a lubricant collector in said housing in the path of the lubricant thrown out by said pump, said collector directing the lubricant under pressure into said conduit system for delivery into said power input end of the transmission for supplying lubricant under pressure to reach said pocket bearing.
