Abstract
In the rapier or gripper weaving machine a rapier or gripper rod is moved to-and-fro by a drive gear or wheel. An oil lubricating device is provided whose spray nozzle opens in the vicinity of the drive gear or wheel. This spray nozzle is connected to a pressure conduit located at the exit or outlet side of a mixing chamber. In the mixing chamber, a predeterminable quantity of oil taken from an oil reservoir can be admixed with a continuously transmitted flow of compressed air. A timer serves for the periodic activation of an oil dosing and injecting device located upstream or forwardly of the mixing chamber. The dosing action controlled by the timer periodically mixes a predetermined volume of oil into the continuous flow of compressed air being supplied to the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle is a molecular atomizing nozzle. These measures enable an absolutely accurate, constant and adjustable quantity of oil to be admixed with the flow of compressed air and further provide a practically droplet-free mist of oil at the drive gear or wheel of the rapier or gripper rod.
