ABSTRACT:
A lubrication unit is provided for lubricating drive and driven members used in a film apparatus which continuously feeds a film in a small size motion picture camera, a motion picture projector, a still camera incorporating a motor drive or the like. The unit includes lubrication means for lubricating engaging parts of a drive member that is rotatively driven and a driven member which is held in engagement with the drive member when the drive member is driven at a high speed. The lubrication means includes a lubricant storage in either a drive member or driven member, the lubricant storage communicating with the engaging surfaces of the drive and driven members to supply a controlled amount of lubricant thereto under the influence of the centrifugal force that is developed upon rotation of either drive or driven member.
