Abstract: A compact, self-contained electrical lubricating device for lubricating a movable conveyor or other system while the conveyor or system is in operation. A tank for containing a reservoir of lubricating fluid includes a coverplate to which is mounted an electric pump having inlet ports immersed in the reservoir. Electrical circuitry including a triggered constant pulse width pulse generator is housed in a control module enclosure also mounted to the coverplate. A proximity switch mounted adjacent the conveyor or other system is actuated by the travel of the conveyor past the switch to trigger the pulse generator which enables the pump causing the pump to deliver a metered shot of lubricating fluid to the conveyor through feedlines extending from the pump through the coverplate. In another embodiment, the control module enclosure is mounted on a supporting base within a compartment separate from the lubricating fluid reservoir tank. A pump is mounted on a support platform within the reservoir tank.

Abstract: A compact, self-contained lubricating device for lubricating a movable conveyor or other system while the conveyor or system is in operation. In a first embodiment, a tank enclosure for containing a reservoir of lubricating fluid includes a coverplate to which is mounted a pneumatically operable pump having an inlet immersed in the reservoir, a manifold with several air and lubricating fluid passageways, an air pressure regulator and a quick air exhaust valve. An air valve trip device is mounted for actuation by the conveyor system and pneumatically coupled to the pump through the manifold to deliver clean shots of lubricating fluid to the conveyor or system. In a second embodiment, a lubricating fluid reservoir is mounted above a control module enclosure. The control module enclosure contains a pump, fluid manifold and fluid interconnecting lines to seal these components from any possible destructive environment.

Abstract: A cleaning device for a rail over which a conveyor or trolley system runs. The device comprises a pair of biased arm members, each arm member having a plurality of brush assemblies adapted to contact various portions of the conveyor rail.

Abstract: A fluid applying system in which a substantial portion of the componentry surface area of a conveyor system is sprayed with a fluid in a spray chamber and any excess or overspray is passed to an evacuating chamber and filtering station where any fluid particles are removed, thereby protecting the surrounding environment from being contaminated with fluid.

Abstract: A chain lubricating device in which lubricating fluid passes through an inlet line into a shaft to a piston chamber in a pump body where the lubricating fluid is then evacuated to discharge device located on a sprocket to which the pump body is attached, both the pump body and sprocket being adapted to rotate about the fixed shaft. The pump body has a piston and cylinder for receiving and for evacuating lubricating fluid. When the lubricating fluid is evacuated it passes through a passage from the pump body to the sprocket positioned on the shaft. As the sprocket and the pump body rotate about the shaft, the lubricating inlet manifold in the shaft will intermittently align itself with the inlet to the pump body to receive a lubricating fluid, while at the same time the lubricating outlet manifold of the shaft intermittently aligns itself with a passage leading to the sprocket. The lubricating fluid then enters the sprocket and is then discharged from an outlet onto the conveyor system.
