Claims24
A lubricating cartridge, comprising:
- a lubrication section comprising a lubricant applicator compartment constructed to receive a lubricant applicator;
- a mounting section comprising a mounting component compartment constructed to receive a mounting component, the mounting component configured to detachably and re-attachably mount onto a door hinge;
- and
- one or more local wells within the lubricant applicator compartment such that the lubricant applicator compartment forms a global well surrounding a portion of a lubricant applicator, such that when the lubricant applicator is inserted into the lubricant applicator compartment, a bottom surface of the lubricant applicator is seated over a local well and a top surface of the lubricant applicator extends above the corresponding lubricant applicator compartment.
A lubricating cartridge, comprising:
- a lubrication section comprising a lubricant applicator compartment constructed to receive a lubricant applicator;
- a mounting section comprising a mounting component compartment constructed to receive a mounting component, the mounting component configured to detachably and re-attachably mount onto a door hinge;
- and
- a trough formed on a hinge-facing side of a main body of the lubricating cartridge, the trough configured to collect at least some lubricant that leaks outside of the lubricant applicator compartment.
A lubricating cartridge, comprising:
- a lubrication section comprising a lubricant applicator compartment constructed to receive a lubricant applicator;
- a mounting section comprising a mounting component compartment constructed to receive a mounting component, the mounting component configured to detachably and re-attachably mount onto a door hinge;
- and
- a first lubricant applicator barrier and a second lubricant applicator barrier, each located to separate the one or more lubricant applicators and substantially prevent lubricant migration to one end of the lubricating cartridge when installed on the door hinge.
A lubricating cartridge, comprising:
- a lubrication section comprising a lubricant applicator compartment constructed to receive a lubricant applicator;
- a mounting section comprising a mounting component compartment constructed to receive a mounting component, the mounting component configured to detachably and re-attachably mount onto a door hinge;
- and
- one or more local wells formed on a main body of the lubricating cartridge and configured to hold adhesive material, wherein the adhesive material is used to affix the main body of the lubricating cartridge to a bottom surface of a lubricant applicator.
