Abstract

A lubricant dispenser for dispensing at least one lubricant stick. The lubricant dispenser has a housing for holding the lubricant stick. The housing has a longitudinally slidable carriage member. The lubricant dispenser has a linear actuator for sliding the carriage member along a longitudinal axis resulting in the advancement of the lubricant stick out of said housing and against a surface to be lubricated.
