The present invention relates to pre-ignition lubrication mechanisms for internal combustion engines, and more particularly to a pressurized pre-combustion oiling mechanism for use with internal combustion engines. The present invention provides an accumulator tank containing either air or an easily condensible gas. The pressurized oil causes the air or gas in the bag to become compressed, causing a decrease in occupied volume in proportion to the pressure induced by the oil to allow the oil to occupy a suitable portion of the tank. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the pressurized oil would cause the condensible gas to undergo a phase change and liquify. Conventional valving known in the state of the art is provided to allow the accumulated pressurized oil to be used prior to a subsequent engine startup, and conventional electronic control systems are provided to engage and disengage the aforementioned valves for a proper pre-ignition lubrication sequence. The present invention also provides a means of enhancing the volume of oil delivered by the accumulator.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An apparatus for permitting the accumulation and pressurized release of a fluidized material to a system utilizing said material, comprising:A. a housing for storing said fluidized material and a material used to generate the source of said pressure;B. a means for supplying said fluidized material from said system to said housing to permit said fluidized material to be accumulated in said housing;C. a means for releasing said fluidized material from said housing into said system under pressure from said pressure source material to permit said system to utilize said fluidized material;wherein the accumulation of said fluidized material in said housing causes said pressure source material to undergo compression to increase the pressure available for releasing said fluidized material into said system; andwherein said pressure source material is a condensible gas which undergoes a phase change from a gaseous state to a liquified state as said fluidized material is accumulated in said housing and which undergoes a phase change from a liquified state to a gaseous state as said fluidized material is released from said housing.
