Air tool lubricator

A lubricating device for a fluid pressure operated pneumatic tool comprising a tool mounted upstanding hollow body having a lower open end bore for communicating with the interior of the tool, the upper end of the bore providing a transverse valve seat and relatively reduced aperture means therein communicating with the upper portion of the hollow body, a wick installed as a plug in the lower open end of the bore with its top spaced below said valve seat, a valving means of less diameter than the inside diameter of said lower end bore and of greater diameter than the reduced aperture means loosely positioned between the top of the wick and said valve seat, and closure means on the top of the hollow body whereby liquid lubricant can be admitted so as to be stored in the hollow body and flow through the reduced aperture means around the valving means and soak the wick when the tool is not pressurized and upon operable pressurization of the tool the pressurized fluid therein passing up through the wick will seat the valving means against the valve seat closing the reduced aperture means and preventing liquid lubricant passing downwardly through said reduced aperture means and again wetting said wick until the operable pressurization of the tool has been discontinued and the valving means sinks by gravity away from said reduced apertured means.
