Description

  The present invention generally relates to an apparatus for applying a lubricant to the outer surface of an insulated wire or the like while it is being passed through a conduit, and more particularly to an automatic wire lubrication device.

  In order to make it easier to pass the insulated wire through the conduit, it is generally widely practiced to first lubricate the wire with a suitable lubricant, such as soap.

  The usual way of performing such work is by hand. Now, an electrician squeezes liquid soap in his hands and rubs it against the wires.

  The problem with this approach is that it is a series of dirty tasks and a cumbersome task to perform. When applying liquid soap by hand, there is a disagreement that the soap scatters in a wide area surrounding the wire being fed into the conduit. The liquid soap also makes the hand slippery, which in turn makes it difficult to pull the wire out of the reel and feed it into the conduit. As a result, it often requires one person to apply soap to the wire and another person who does not handle soap to pass the lubricated wire through the conduit. Thus, these commonly performed tasks require additional human power to properly perform this task.

  Over the years, various devices have been proposed for use in lubricating electrical wires. Representative examples of such devices include US Pat. No. 3,565,213 to Heller, US Pat. No. 3,783,972 to Molstad, US Pat. No. 4,062,225 to Shenk, US Pat. No. 4,036,617, US Pat. No. 4,069,894 to Black, US Pat. No. 4,326,605 to Conti, US Pat. No. 4,422,529 to Johansen, US Pat. No. 4,490,591 to Johnnes et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,022,493 to Buckelew, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,632,356 to Cells. The prior art devices of the Molstad and Conti patents appear to be stepping in the right direction to provide a wire lubrication device, both of which provide an optimal solution to manual problems It doesn't seem to be a thing.

Accordingly, there remains a need for a wire lubrication device that provides a solution to the above-described problems in the prior art without introducing any new alternatives.
