The “Cobra” Conveyor Chain Lubricator

Abstract

MAKING its first appearance nine years ago at the Mining Exhibition at Essen, the Cobra conveyor chain lubricator has been used in many European countries for tray transporters, crucible transporters in steelworks, foundries, coke works, and on conveyors and assembly lines for numerous industries. There are two types manufactured, the Cobra 1, which is activated directly by the motion of the transporter, and the Cobra 2, operated by compressed air and controlled by the transporter by means of an actuating arm. The Cobra 1 is used when there is difficulty in employing compressed air or when it is easy to make use of the motion of the conveyor. When compressed air is readily available, however, Cobra 2 is used. It is manufactured by Helios‐Apparate Wetzel & Schlosshauer G.m.b.H., Heidelberg, Germany, and marketed in the U.K. by W. S. Forrest & Co., Almora Hall, Middleton‐St.‐George, Co. Durham.
