Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2384949A1] A device for applying lubricating grease to the mobile blades of railway points comprises a supporting structure (9), at least one applicator element (13) mounted on the supporting structure (9) and comprising a contact portion (14) against which in practice a blade (2) of a set of railway points (3) can rest when the blade is in its non-operating position; and feed means (15) for feeding grease to the contact portion (14). Also claimed is a method for applying lubricating grease to the mobile blades of railway points, in which when the blade (2) is in its non-operating position at least part of its surface to be greased rests on a contact portion (14) of an applicator element (13), and during and by means of said resting contact the grease is applied, in such a way that when the blade (2) subsequently returns to its operating position, it carries with it at least part of the grease with which it made contact.
