Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 145 words
An oil composition comprising a major proportion of lubricating oil, and a minor rust inhibiting proportion, in the range of about 0.2 to 4.0 weight percent, of lithium salt of an amide of a hydrocarbon substituted succinic acid; said hydrocarbon substituent containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms and being selected from the group consisting of alkenyl and alkyl groups; said amide being the reaction product of said acid with a nitrogen material selected from the group consisting of ammonia, alkylene polyamines of the general formula: ##STR8##wherein n is an integer less than about 10 and A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a lower alkylene radical having less than about 8 carbon atoms, and said alkylene polyamines substituted with one or more hydroxy alkyl substituents on a nitrogen atom, in which the hydroxy alkyl group has less than about six carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 145 words
An oil composition comprising a major proportion of lubricating oil, and a minor rust inhibiting proportion, in the range of about 0.2 to 4.0 weight percent, of lithium salt of an amide of a hydrocarbon substituted succinic acid; said hydrocarbon substituent containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms and being selected from the group consisting of alkenyl and alkyl groups; said amide being the reaction product of said acid with a nitrogen material selected from the group consisting of ammonia, alkylene polyamines of the general formula: ##STR8##wherein n is an integer less than about 10 and A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a lower alkylene radical having less than about 8 carbon atoms, and said alkylene polyamines substituted with one or more hydroxy alkyl substituents on a nitrogen atom, in which the hydroxy alkyl group has less than about six carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
An oil composition according to claim 1, wherein said nitrogen material is a polyethyleneamine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
An oil composition according to claim 2, wherein said nitrogen material is tetraethylene pentamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
An oil composition according to claim 3, wherein about five molar proportions of said succinic acid is reacted per about one molar proportion of said tetraethylene pentamine, and there is about one lithium atom per amine nitrogen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
An oil composition according to claim 2, wherein said succinic acid is dodecenyl succinic acid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
