Abstract: The conveyor for bottles or containers in general comprises a conveyor belt for supporting the bottles, and a lubricant dispensing unit associated with the conveyor belt. The lubricant dispensing unit comprises a cylindrical element rotatably connected to the conveyor belt and associated with a lubricant feed member, such that the feed member transfers lubricant to the cylindrical element and this, by rotating in contact with the conveyor belt, releases the lubricant onto the conveyor belt. The lubrication process for a conveyor belt of a conveyor for bottles or containers in general consists of feeding lubricant onto a cylindrical element and rotating the cylindrical element in contact with the conveyor belt, such that the lubricant passes onto the conveyor belt.

Abstract: A tire bead lubricating assembly for lubricating the bead area of a tire includes a lubricator sleeve mounted for reciprocal movement into and out of the center of the tire. The sleeve has an hourglass shape for engagement with the opposed bead of the tire when inserted into the center of the tire.

Abstract: A flexible lubricant applicator for forcibly applying a desired quantity of a lubricant material (such as carbon particles usually of the graphite type, particles of the Teflon type, polytetrafluoroethylene material, or the functional equivalent) to a workpiece surface which is harder than the lubricant material and usually comprising a metallic workpiece surface.
