Device for lubricating conveyor chains, chains for drives, and the like

摘要

A device for lubricating the conveyor chains, chains for drives, and the like, comprising: a sprocket (4; 37; 53), which is rotatably supported about an axis which lies transversely to the chain (1) to be lubricated and is suitable to mesh with the chain; a pair of sidewalls (17,18; 38,39; 52) located on the respective sides of the sprocket; a substantially box-shaped support for the sprocket and for the sidewalls; holes (26; 47; 60) which lead out at the peripheral region of the sidewalls to release a lubricant onto the chain (1); means which are suitable to distribute the lubricant to the holes and are connected to the sprocket; and means for the controlled delivery of the lubricant to the distribution means which are connected to the sprocket. <IMAGE>
