ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a lubricant trough or reservoir which is replaceably secured to an inner wall of a machine in an area where the reservoir will intercept, and reclaim, lubricant thrown by a rotating lubricant slinger-disc, or thrown by meshing gears, and discharge the reclaimed lubricant to bearings which carry a rotating shaft. The reservoir is open-topped, to admit the thrown lubricant, and has conduits extending therefrom which terminate in adjacency to bearings to be lubricated. The lubricant-discharging ends of the conduits are slightly elevated, relative to orifices in the reservoir from whence the conduits are supplied with lubricant, in order that the conduits will always retain therein a head or supply of lubricant immediately releasable therefrom upon any small quantity of lubricant being added to the reservoir.
