Abstract
A lubricant supply device having a housing defining a reservoir for holding a supply of lubricant, a pump in the housing, and a lubricant distributor having a sealing connection with the housing. The distributor has an inlet for entry of lubricant into the distributor and multiple outlets for exit of lubricant from the distributor for delivery to multiple points of lubrication. The distributor and housing have mating surfaces which seal against one another whereby lubricant from the pump can flow from the housing directly into the distributor without intervening lines.
