BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] There are a number of significant design features and improvements incorporated within the invention.

[0019] The current invention is an environmentally friendly lubricant. The components of the lubricant are as follows, CANOLA OIL, PALM OIL, SOY WAX, SWEET ORANGE OIL which is adjusted for fragrance and Vitamin E to extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation and by slowing the growth of certain bacteria.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the formula for the lubricant in the preferred embodiment has a specific mixture range in percentage by weight of:

[0021] CANOLA OIL: [0022] Specific weight: 24%,

[0023] PALM OIL: [0024] Specific weight: 24%,

[0025] SOY WAX: [0026] Specific weight: 48%,

[0027] SWEET ORANGE OIL [0028] Specific weight: 3%, and

[0029] Vitamin E [0030] Specific weight: 1%.

[0031] The current invention can be made the ratios by weight of:

[0032] CANOLA OIL: [0033] Broad range: 10-40%,

[0034] PALM OIL: [0035] Broad range: 10-40%,

[0036] SOY WAX: [0037] Broad range: 40-60%,

[0038] SWEET ORANGE OIL: [0039] Specific range: range adjusted for fragrance which can zero or more percentage, and

[0040] Vitamin E [0041] Specific Range: 1%.

[0042] This mixture produces a semi-solid which can be stored in a container like a tube 10 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The tube 10 can have a cover as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. In the preferred embodiment the container will be microwavable.

[0043] The current invention has a long shelf life since all ingredients are already shelf stable and no water is added. Vitamin E can extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation and by slowing the growth of certain bacteria. And, it is good for people. Vitamin E in particular is great for keeping oil from going spoiling.

[0044] The lubricant 1 is to be kept at median (below 100 degrees) indoor temperatures. The lubricant mix converts to liquid at increased temperatures. It should be stored in cool dry area away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

[0045] Operation

[0046] The lubricant 1 will be a semi-solid and can be stored in a container like in a tube 10. To use, the user needs to heat up the mixture 1. As shown in FIG. 6, they could heat up the tube 10 using a microwave 100 to bring semi-solid to liquid. The warmed liquid is applied to the area that it is needed such as a hard to get to squeak or creak. Once cooled it returns to semi-solid providing long lasting, safe, lubrication. The user 10 can also squeeze the semi-solid out of tube to area desired, then apply heat form a heating source. A blow dryer can be used as the heat source. The user can also place the tube 10 into hot water to heat up the mixture 1.

[0047] Apply lubricant 1 to any surface that squeaks, creaks, sticks or just needs lubrication. Apply heat if needed to disperse lubricant 1 thoroughly. For hard to get to areas like door hinges, etc., if possible, remove the item to be lubricated so it can be handle freely. Apply a generous amount of the lubricant 10 to the area to be lubricated, being sure to get it into the cracks. Apply a small amount of heat with a heat source to the area to covert lubricant 1 to a squeak-finding liquid that finds its way into the area to be lubricated. Work the now lubricated item for approximately 30 seconds for lubricant 1 to disperse completely. Allow the item to return to room temperature. Wipe off any excess. If previously removed, reinstall the item.

[0048] Advantages

[0049] The current invention finally offers a completely safe, all natural alternative to chemical lubricants that is not only safer but actually lasts longer. The unique blend of all-natural ingredients that once heated penetrates into the smallest area where lubrication is needed. Once where it needs to be, the mixture returns to its semi-solid state, to create long lasting lubrication. The current invention lasts longer, works better and is safer than silicone sprays, Teflon or PTFE, graphites, petroleum oils or distillates, lithium greases, and without the odor, mess, or toxic chemicals!. It uses all natural ingredients, it is safe for the environment. It works on any surface. It stops squeaks fast, aids the movement of sliding doors, windows, and desk drawers, stop door hinges from creaking, loosen rusty nuts and bolts, eases the driving of woodscrews and nails, keeps a winter coat zipper running smoothly, and safer to use than silicone, WD-40, Teflon or PTFE, graphites, petroleum oils or distillates, or white lithium greases.

[0050] As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.

[0051] With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

[0052] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur by those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
