Abstract:

A distributor for feeding a lubricant to lubrication tubes is provided. A pressurized lubricant stream is projected from an outlet across a gap and impinges at least in part on an inlet of a lubrication tube positioned to face the stream. The lubrication tube is supported so as to limit interference of flow into its inlet by excess lubricant from the stream not impinging on the inlet. The lubricant stream may be in the form of an essentially conical stream diverging from the outlet, two lubrication tubes positioned with their respective inlets in essentially uniform spacing from the outlet and from the axis of the conical stream receiving essentially uniform quantities of lubricant. The lubrication stream may be a pressurized air-oil stream.
