Tool and workplace lubrication system having a modified air line

Abstract

A lubrication system to lubricate tools and workpieces, where a metal part is being formed, to eliminate most of the friction, so little heat will be generated, and therefore coolants will not be required, centers on the modification of an air line lubricator, originally designed for internally lubricating compressed airflow driven pneumatic tools. The modification commences with the installation of an oil and overall pressurized airflow pick up passageway structure being arranged within the housing of the air line lubricator, having a continuous uniform diameter, to direct the oil and overall pressurized airflow from near the bottom of a pre-departure mixing basin, up to the pressurized air exit of the housing, and then through this pressurized air exit of this then modified air line lubricator. The continuation of a passageway for the oil and the pressurized airflow remains at the continuous uniform diameter beyond the pressurized air exit of the housing, through valves, tees, and into the entries of respective nozzles. This continuous uniform diameter of the passageway thereby avoids any build up of oil in puddles, which would othterwise possibly prevent the uniform continuous delivery of oil to adequately lubricate the place, where a metal piece is being formed by the moving contact of a forming tool, and also thereby avoids any large delivery of oil, or alternately no delivery of oil, if the modified air line lubricator is accidentally tipped when in operation.
