A wire lubrication applicator has: a cylindrical body with opposed open axial ends along a wire travel axis, the cylindrical body formed of inner and outer hollow tubes that each define a longitudinal wire insertion slot extending between the opposed open axial ends, with the inner and outer hollow tubes being coaxially mounted to rotate relative to one another about the wire travel axis to align and misalign the longitudinal wire insertion slots to open and close, respectively, a lateral wire entry into a lubricant retaining interior of the inner hollow tube; and one or more end caps that are on the cylindrical body and each form an axial wire opening. One or more of the axial wire openings are biased to radially constrict about a wire in use.

A device facilitating the lubrication of cable housings comprising a reservoir for liquid lubricant, a radial longitudinal slot, a cinching flap to hold the device in place and assure a secure seal, and a hole shaped to allow the use of a single device with cable housings of different types. The present invention relates to the maintenance of mechanical cable systems, especially the lubrication of bicycle cable systems.

The invention is a device for sealing a hole or valve in a petroleum tank to prevent emissions, while optionally also automatically greasing a cable in a measured amount to combat friction and a method of use of such device, along with methods of manufacture and use.

An oil application device includes an oil supply member capable of selectively supplying oil to a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface of a flat wire. The oil supply member includes a first side surface and a second side surface. A part of the first side surface is a first application surface that is in contact with a part of the first lateral surface. Another part of the first side surface is a first non-application surface spaced apart from the first lateral surface. A part of the second side surface is a second application surface that is in contact with a part of the second lateral surface. Another part of the second side surface is a second non-application surface spaced apart from the second lateral surface.

A draw wire apparatus, including: a rod and a motor for rotating the rod; a thread extending from the rod, for being attached to a draw wire, and shaped for advancing thereof upon the rotation of the rod; and an oil pump characterized in being operated by the rotation of the rod, and disposed adjacent to the draw wire, thereby drawing oil onto, thereby the motor lubricates the draw wire and as well advances thereof.

A lubricating system has a pump to force a viscous lubricant from a supply of lubricant to a lubricator at which the lubricant is to be dispensed onto a cable, wire, or the like that is being pulled through a conduit. A sensor, associated with a spool from which the cable is being dispensed, is be used to automatically control the amount of lubricant that is to be dispensed onto the cable. A second described system comprises a custom bucket or bucket insert which allow a cable to pass through the bucket whereupon lubricant will be automatically applied to the cable and the container includes a profiled base to ensure proper passage of the cable through the lubricant and ensure the maximum usage of any lubricant.

A system for lubricating a wire rope includes a housing configured to be mounted adjacent a wire to be lubricated. A cartridge for housing lubricant is disposed on the housing. At least two nozzles are in fluid communication with the cartridge and configured to dispense the lubricant onto a respective wire at a position adjacent a weight bearing portion of the wire.

A new utensil which solves the aforementioned problems due to developing an instrument with a number of advantages compared with the traditional method already described for lubrication of fishing lines and leaders. This tool fundamentally helps this operation to be made comfortably, fast, in such a way the user can hold the rod while proceeding to the greasing and the guiding, for the storage of the assembly into the reel, is done through this, so the risk of the lubricant not remaining finally on the fishing line and/or leader is diminished. It is basically made up by two parts, on the one side, an outer cover which enables its fixing to the rod through the upper hole, also houses the support material for the lubricant and contains a cavity that allows the storage of other instruments, as well as the tool for the impregnation of the support material with the lubricant.
