  • Publication number: 20110067311
    Abstract: A window regulator assembly for moving a window pane between an open position and a closed position includes a rail and a lifter plate slidably coupled with the rail. The lifter plate is coupled with the window pane and is guided by the rail to move the window pane between the open and closed positions. A lubrication system lubricates the rail as the lifter plate moves the window pane between the open and closed positions. The lubrication system includes a reservoir contained within the lifter plate, a lubricant storing and releasing material disposed in the reservoir, and an applicator extending from within the reservoir to lubricate the rail.

  • Publication number: 20100326772
    Abstract: A lubrication disc assembly for lubricating a rod includes a body that circumferentially surrounds the rod and defines a reservoir for storing a lubricant therein. An applicator is disposed within the body directly adjacent the reservoir and contacts the rod. The applicator transfers lubricant from the reservoir to the rod in response to axial movement between the lubrication disc assembly and the rod.

  • Patent number: 7775324
    Abstract: A lubrication assembly is provided for lubricating a surface with a lubricant. The lubrication assembly includes a tube adapted to be coupled to the surface. The tube defines a reservoir for storing the lubricant thereon. The lubrication assembly also includes a wiper that is coupled to the tube. The wiper includes a first portion in fluid communication with the lubricant and a second portion disposed for continuous contact with the surface for automatically transferring and supplying the lubricant from the reservoir to the surface. The lubricant reduces frictional properties of the surface.
