Abstract:
A lubrication system for the intermittent lubrication of a lubrication target, comprising a lubrication emitter having means for generating a series of lubrication liquid droplets and carrying the droplets along a travel path by a propellent gas stream issuing from the emitter;a lubrication target located in a spaced relationship from said emitter within the travel path; andmoving barrier means located proximate said emitter between said emitter and said target and in a non-contact relationship with said emitter for intermittently generating a disturbance to said propellent gas stream whereby the carrying of the droplets by the propellent gas stream is prevented during the time interval of such disturbance, the carrying of the droplets by the propellent gas stream occurring during the time interval in which the disturbance ceases.
