Appeal No. 95-4081
Application 08/071,895
The lubricating and oil-based functional fluid
compositions of the present invention are based on
diverse oils of lubricating viscosity, including natural
and synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof.
These lubricating compositions containing the phosphorus-
containing and nitrogen-containing compositions of the
invention, are effective in a variety of applications
including crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited
and compression-ignited internal combustion engines,
including automobile and truck engines, two-cycle
engines, aviation piston engines, marine and low-load
diesel engines, and the like. Also, automatic
transmission fluids, transaxle lubricants, gear
lubricants, metal-working lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
and other lubricating oil and grease compositions can
benefit from the incorporation of the compositions of
this invention. The lubricating compositions are
particularly effective as gear lubricants.
12. Consistent with his earlier description of
additives which can be present in lubricating oils, Burjes
continues (col. 45, lines 47-54; emphasis added):
The invention also contemplates the use of other
additives in the lubricating and functional fluid
compositions of this invention. Such additives include,
for example, detergents and dispersants of the ash-
producing or ashless type, corrosion- and oxidation-
inhibiting agents, pour point depressing agents, extreme
