Lubricant dispenser for a wind turbine

A lubricant dispenser for filling a lubricant reservoir of a wind turbine, comprising:

• a carrier configured to receive a lubricant container, wherein the carrier comprises at least a first support for supporting one end of the lubricant container and a second support for supporting a second end of the lubricant container;
• a flow connection having a first end configured to be coupled to the lubricant container and a second end configured to be coupled to the lubricant reservoir;
• and
• a squeeze mechanism that is mechanically coupled to the second support and that is actuatable to move the second support towards the first support such that a lubricant container disposed between the first and second supports is squeezed so that the content of the lubricant container is discharged through the flow connection,
• wherein the lubricant dispenser has two or more guiding rods, wherein the second support has cutouts through which the guiding rods extend, wherein movement of the second support is guided by the guiding rods.
