Abstract:
A lubrication apparatus for lubrication of one or more components is described. The apparatus may include a housing with an internal housing cavity containing lubrication fluid. A catchment feature may be located on an internal portion of the housing, the catchment feature having a lip and a reservoir, with the lip extending into the internal housing cavity above, at least in part, a lubrication fluid sump level of the internal housing cavity. A first lubrication passage may extend from the catchment feature into the housing. The lip and the reservoir of the catchment feature may catch lubrication fluid splashed above the lubrication fluid sump level. The first lubrication passage may direct lubrication fluid from the catchment feature to the one or more components.
