This invention refers to the field of Household lubricant more practically one that is environmentally safe.
Many people consider their homes as a safe oasis, free from toxins, pollutants and chemicals. Many people also take great care to buy natural and organic foods, and provide their families with the freshest produce possible.
However, according to the EPA, indoor air in the average American household is more than 100 times higher in pollutants than outdoor air, largely due to the chemicals in home products. Many of these products can cause immediate hazards such as skin chemical burns, respiratory irritation, watery or burning eyes, and poisoning, if accidentally ingested. Some potent cleaners can even cause chronic or long-term health concerns such as cancer, hormone disruption, and even brain damage.
Using all natural green products is, without a doubt, the best choice for our bodies, our families, and our environment. The first step toward green is making the commitment to research products, carefully read labels, and only purchase products that contain all natural ingredients.
People all try to live as healthy as possible. They try to eat organic foods, use natural cleaners, lotions, makeup, toiletries, etc. But they still use harsh petroleum and chemical based lubricants. Why? Because there aren't any natural based lubricants on the market.
There is still room for improvement in the art.
The current invention is a combination of ingredients which are used as a lubricant. The components of the lubricant are as follows, CANOLA OIL, PALM OIL, SOY WAX, SWEET ORANGE OIL which is adjusted for fragrance and Vitamin E to extend the shelf life of the product by preventing oxidation and by slowing the growth of certain bacteria.
The lubricant has a long shelf life since all ingredients are already shelf stable and no water is added.
The lubricant will be semi-solid in a tube. To use it is heated to bring the semi-solid to liquid and applied to hard to where needed. It can also be squeezed out as the semi-solid out of tube to area and have heat applied.
Without restricting the full scope of this invention, the preferred form of this invention is illustrated in the following drawings:
There are a number of significant design features and improvements incorporated within the invention.
The current invention is an environmentally friendly lubricant. The components of the lubricant are as follows, CANOLA OIL, PALM OIL, SOY WAX, SWEET ORANGE OIL which is adjusted for fragrance and Vitamin E to extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation and by slowing the growth of certain bacteria.
As shown in
CANOLA OIL:
PALM OIL:
SOY WAX:
SWEET ORANGE OIL
Vitamin E
The current invention can be made the ratios by weight of:
CANOLA OIL:
PALM OIL:
SOY WAX:
SWEET ORANGE OIL:
Vitamin E
This mixture produces a semi-solid which can be stored in a container like a tube 10 as shown in
The current invention has a long shelf life since all ingredients are already shelf stable and no water is added. Vitamin E can extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation and by slowing the growth of certain bacteria. And, it is good for people. Vitamin E in particular is great for keeping oil from going spoiling.
The lubricant 1 is to be kept at “median” (below 100 degrees) indoor temperatures. The lubricant mix converts to liquid at increased temperatures. It should be stored in cool dry area away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Operation
The lubricant 1 will be a semi-solid and can be stored in a container like in a tube 10. To use, the user needs to heat up the mixture 1. As shown in
Apply lubricant 1 to any surface that squeaks, creaks, sticks or just needs lubrication. Apply heat if needed to disperse lubricant 1 thoroughly. For hard to get to areas like door hinges, etc., if possible, remove the item to be lubricated so it can be handle freely. Apply a generous amount of the lubricant 10 to the area to be lubricated, being sure to get it into the cracks. Apply a small amount of heat with a heat source to the area to covert lubricant 1 to a “squeak-finding” liquid that finds its way into the area to be lubricated. Work the now lubricated item for approximately 30 seconds for lubricant 1 to disperse completely. Allow the item to return to room temperature. Wipe off any excess. If previously removed, reinstall the item.
Advantages
The current invention finally offers a completely safe, all natural alternative to chemical lubricants that is not only safer but actually lasts longer. The unique blend of all-natural ingredients that once heated penetrates into the smallest area where lubrication is needed. Once where it needs to be, the mixture returns to its semi-solid state, to create long lasting lubrication. The current invention lasts longer, works better and is safer than silicone sprays, Teflon or PTFE, graphites, petroleum oils or distillates, lithium greases, and without the odor, mess, or toxic chemicals!. It uses all natural ingredients, it is safe for the environment. It works on any surface. It stops squeaks fast, aids the movement of sliding doors, windows, and desk drawers, stop door hinges from creaking, loosen rusty nuts and bolts, eases the driving of woodscrews and nails, keeps a winter coat zipper running smoothly, and safer to use than silicone, WD-40, Teflon or PTFE, graphites, petroleum oils or distillates, or white lithium greases.
As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur by those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
