ABSTRACT:
An automatic lubricator for wheel bearings and closure cap for wheel hubs comprises a hollow body having an open end connected with the hub, a piston sealingly and slidably mounted in the body, and a spring member urging the piston toward the bearing and constantly applying a positive pressure on the lubricant packing the hub. A lubrication fitting for filling the lubricator is attached to the body adjacent to the open end thereof, and an overflow aperture is disposed through a side wall of the body at a point adjacent to the piston for relieving excess lubricant pressure. A heat responsive member located in the body is operative to release lubricant from the hub cavity in response to an abnormally high lubricant temperature.
