ABSTRACT:
A bearing lubricating device which is designed for attachment to the wheel bearing housing of a trailer or other vehicle to automatically lubricate the bearings in the bearing housing. The bearing lubricating device includes a cylindrical grease housing fitted with a spring-loaded piston and a piston plate extending from the piston, wherein the piston projects from the end of the grease housing. When grease is charged into the interior of the grease housing, the spring is compressed and forces the piston farther outwardly of the grease housing, to indicate that sufficient grease is provided in the grease housing for proper lubrication of the wheel bearings. In a first preferred embodiment of the invention a stop ring is provided in the housing to limit travel of the piston plate and piston in the housing and the projecting end of the piston is color-coded to indicate the grease content inside the grease housing. In a second preferred embodiment a retainer is attached to the piston for the same purpose.
