Patent ID: 8215216

Claim:
A blade lubrication system for a sawmill, comprising: a hose having a saw end and a tap end, whereby the tap end is capable of being affixed to a blade lubricant source; said hose being sufficiently malleable, elastic or flexible to allow clamping or restriction of blade lubricant flow within said hose by applying pressure to an external surface of said hose; a control comprising a spring, said control capable of applying sufficient pressure to an external surface of the hose to restrict blade lubricant flow within said hose; wherein said control is biased in a first configuration whereby sufficient pressure is applied to the external surface of the hose to restrict blade lubricant flow; wherein said control has a second configuration wherein blade lubricant flow is not restricted; wherein said saw end of said hose is positioned so that blade lubricant flowing out of said saw end cools and cleans a blade or band chain of a saw of said sawmill; wherein said control is attached to the sawmill such that the control is moved into said second configuration when a saw throttle controller is activated by a user; and wherein the control further comprises a cable having a first end attached to a pull, and a second end attached to said saw throttle controller on said sawmill, wherein, when said saw throttle controller is activated, the first end of said cable displaces said pull to move said control to said second configuration.
