A lubricant pump for supplying lubricant to an internal combustion engine, the pump comprising a housing defining a pump chamber, an inlet which is adapted to communicate with a source of lubricant and which communicates with the pump chamber, and an outlet which is adapted to communicate with the internal combustion engine and which communicates with the pump chamber, the housing also at least partially defining a fluid chamber, a source of fluid under pressure, a solenoid for selectively and alternatively affording and preventing communication of the fluid chamber with the fluid source, and a pumping member for drawing lubricant into the pump chamber in response to communication of the fluid chamber with the fluid source and for forcing lubricant out of the pump chamber in the absence of communication between the fluid chamber and the fluid source.

Internal combustion engine oil pump

An internal combustion engine comprising structure defining a combustion chamber, structure defining a fuel/air chamber adapted to communicate with a source of air under pressure, structure defining an air chamber, structure for opening the fuel/air chamber to the combustion chamber in response to communication of the air chamber with the air source, structure for effecting communication between the air chamber and the air source in response to delivery of fuel to the fuel/air chamber, and selectively operable structure for delivering fuel to the fuel/air chamber.
