(54) Weft thread lubrication for textile machines, particularly weaving looms and the like


(57) A weft thread lubrication device for textile machines, particularly weaving looms and the like, comprising: an oil supply reservoir (13-130) which, by means of respective delivery ducts (17-141-142), distributes the oil to a plurality of individual lubricators (14-114) arranged in front of respective spools (11-110) of weft thread (FT) supported by a creel structure (10-100), each lubricator having an annular felt (22-226) that is impregnated by the oil and is crossed by the weft thread which, by means of the unwinding balloon (B) adheres to the inner surface of the axial hole of the felt, absorbing the oil; and recovery means (24-25-151) that receive the excess oil from the lubricators (14-114) to recycle it into the oil supply reservoir (13-130).
