Abstract: A distributor for feeding a lubricant to lubrication tubes is provided. A pressurized lubricant stream is projected from an outlet across a gap and impinges at least in part on an inlet of a lubrication tube positioned to face the stream. The lubrication tube is supported so as to limit interference of flow into its inlet by excess lubricant from the stream not impinging on the inlet. The lubricant stream may be in the form of an essentially conical stream diverging from the outlet, two lubrication tubes positioned with their respective inlets in essentially uniform spacing from the outlet and from the axis of the conical stream receiving essentially uniform quantities of lubricant. The lubrication stream may be a pressurized air-oil stream.

Abstract: A liquid-oil feeder is provided for supplying various metered amounts of oil to a plurality of regions. The feeder has a tank of oil and an oil pick-up chamber reciprocating in and out of the supply of oil. The chamber contacts a transfer plate and a longitudinally adjustable rod displaces the oil from the chamber to the transfer plate. The metered amount of oil then flows from the transfer plate through a spout to an outlet leading to an oil line for carrying the oil to the various regions. A plurality of such chambers and transfer plates, displaced as a unit and each associated with a separate adjustable rod and outlet, may be provided. The feeder is capable of supplying oil in a continuous flow of droplets and also has flushing apparatus for supplying a stream of oil to various regions.
