Abstract:
1. An automatic wire lubricating device, comprising: (a) two body sections each having opposite ends and respective end faces on said opposite ends, each of said body sections defining a portion of an interior reservoir formed by said body sections when assembled together at said end faces; (b) a fastener to releasably fasten said body sections together at said end faces to form an annular body having a longitudinal central axis, said fastener including (i) sleeves attached at said opposite ends of each of said body sections and aligned axially with one another in pairs along opposite side axes which extend substantially parallel to said longitudinal central axis and lie substantially in a common plane formed by said end faces when said body sections are assembled into said annular body, and (ii) a pair of pins inserted through one of said pairs of aligned sleeves along said one of said opposite side axes for releasably securing said assembled body sections together; (c) passages to provide flow communication from said interior reservoir to said central opening when said body sections are fastened together; and (d) threads formed by said assembled body sections at one of said axially displaced ends to attach a member to facilitate application of lubricant on wire being pulled through said threads and said central opening of said annular body.
