Abstract
In the art of using, by frictionally applying, chemical lubricating compounds in stick form to moving objects, and more particularly applying to the moving flanges of vehicle wheels; the improvement in the structure of stick holders to provide ease of adjustment and uniform complete stick application by pressure.
Claims4
In a device for adjustably holding and applying stick lubricants frictionally to the flanges of the rotating a frame of a vehicle the improvement comprising;
- A slotted elongated tubular stick receiving and holding means open at both ends, and having a narrow elongated slot opening located substantially parallel to the axis and centrally on a first face of said holding means, said slot opening elongation is located centered of the length of the holding means and of a slot length of about 65% to 90% of the length of the holding means.
- A stick-urging arm means of a length substantially equal in arcuate rotation to the slot length pivoted at one end and free at the opposite end and having the pivot located mid length of the slot and at a distance from the tubular holding means sufficient to allow the arm to swing within the slot opening as in a chord, and of a thinness sufficient to and having said pivoted end positioned to allow the free end of the arm to move in an arcuate path, thru said slot opening from a cocked or restrained position by urging the lubricating stick to the end of the arc swing and guided within the holding means, in continual urging contact with one end face of the stick lubricant,
- An adjustable bracket means having a first end and an opposite second adjustable end, said first end adapted to attach to the vehicle frame and said second end adapted to adjustably attach to said holding means to hold said holding means axis in a position against the travel path of the flange of the wheel to allow the urging contact with one end face of the stick lubricant to force the contact of the stick lubricant to frictionally contact the flange of the wheel as it rotates.
