ABSTRACT:
In order to improve the lubrication of relatively moving parts of machinery, in particular of bearings carrying rotating shafts, there is provided a lubricant reservoir adjacent to the bearing in which a movable transport member is located. The transport member may be, for example, a spring, one end of which is attached to the shaft rotating in the bearing so that the centrifugal force imparted to the spring causes its free end to enter into the lubricant reservoir whereupon, when the shaft is slowed down or stopped, the elasticity of the spring causes its return to a rest position, during which lubricant is positively displaced in the direction of the bearing. The motion of the transport member may also be effected by other external influences, for example by a magnetic field.
