A die handle oiling system for use with a cutting die head for torquing and simultaneously lubricating a cutting die head for cutting threads on pipes, rods, and the like comprising, in combination:
- a rigid, elongated, and tubular handle having a central axis, an interior and exterior surface, a sealed and outwardly bevelled base end, a sealed and outwardly threaded tip end for holding a cutting die head thereon with the tip end further having a threaded filling bore disposed therethrough and aligned with the central axis, a lip extended radially inwards from the interior surface between the base and tip end to define an air cavity for holding air therein located adjacent to the base end and a plunger cavity for holding oil therein located adjacent to the tip end, an inlet ball valve extended between the exterior surface and air cavity for allowing air into the air cavity, a pressure release valve extended between the base end and air cavity with a depressible button extended therefrom for allowing air to be released from the air cavity when depressed, and a threaded oil outlet extended between the exterior surface and the plunger cavity for allowing oil disposed within the plunger cavity to exit therethrough;
- a plunger slidably disposed within the plunger cavity, the plunger having a generally cylindrical head with a front end and a rear end and a plurality of seal rings disposed therearound in contact with the interior surface of the handle, the rear end of the head positionable against the lip of the handle when the plunger cavity is completely filled with oil through the filling bore, the front end of the head positionable near the tip end of the handle when the plunger cavity is nearly devoid of oil;
- an elongated and flexible oil hose for allowing oil to be released from the plunger cavity, the oil hose having a base end threadably coupled within the oil outlet and a cone-shaped nozzle adapted to be positioned near a cutting die head for applying oil thereto for cutting;
- an oil hose holder formed of two spaced, aligned, and rigid clamps coupled to the exterior surface of the handle for holding the oil hose in a stowed configuration;
- an elongated and rigid push-rod having a handle end and a tip end with the tip end positionable through the filling bore for pushing the plunger back towards the base end of the handle, thereby allowing the plunger cavity to be refilled with oil;
- a push rod holder formed of two spaced, aligned, and rigid clamps coupled to the exterior surface of the handle opposite the oil hose holder for holding the push rod in a stowed configuration;
- an oil plug threadably coupled within the filling bore of the handle;
- an oil cap securable over the nozzle of the oil hose for preventing oil leakage therefrom with the cap further having a tether extended therefrom and secured to a bracket of the oil hose holder for securing the cap in a proximal location for use;
- and
- an air pump coupled to the handle directly below the inlet ball valve thereof, the air pump having a hollow housing with an open front end facing the tip end of the handle, a sealed rear end facing the base end of the handle, an air intake extended from the rear end, a trigger having a rear end slidably disposed within the front end of the housing and a front end extended therefrom, a rubber seal secured between the trigger and housing, a one-way check valve disposed within the air intake, and a spring disposed between the trigger and rear end of the housing, whereby when the trigger is depressed, the one-way check valve is closed and air within the housing is forced through the ball valve and into the air cavity for building pressure therein, thus forcing the plunger towards the tip end of the handle for allowing oil to be released through the oil hose, and when the trigger is released, the one-way check valve opens for allowing air into the housing.
