Patented A11 8,1911.
Application filed May 11, 1911. Serial No. 626,43
vices, of whichthe following is a speciti-- cation.
My invention relates to an improvement in the class of lubricant-devices forthe journals of car-wheels, wherein the lubricant confined in the box is in a solid form, as a cake, spring-supported in the journal-box to bearagrainst the journal from underneath the latter through the medium of a perforate plate interposed between the cake of lubricant and the journal; and it consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter described and claimed.
Inthe accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal sectional elevation of a journal-box provided with my improvement, Fig. 2 is a section on line 2, Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a broken section on line 3, Fig. 2.
The journal-box 3 illustrated is of the ordinary kind for housing a journal 4 and In the side-walls of the box are provided, near each of its ends and opposite each other, parallel vertical slots 6 and 7, forming pairs; and over each slot extends laterally from the top of the box a lug or hanger'S from which to suspend a coiled spr'inc 9. Bars 10 and 11 extend transversely across the interior of the box respectively through the pairs of slots 6, 7 and are suspended at their projecting ends by the 1 springs to Work underneath the journal. A
lVhat I claiin as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentis- 1. In combination, a journal-box having slots in its sides, and a lubricant-device comprising bars extending transversely through the box below the journal therein and projecting through said slots, springs suspended on the box to extend at the outer sides thereo'f and connected with the bars to carry them at their projecting ends, a lubricant-holder supported within the box on said bars, and a perforated plate interposed between the holder and journal, for the purpose set forth.
2. in combination, a journal-box having porting said holder below the journal and working in the journahbox slots, and a pet'- forated plate surmounting the holder and provided with projections on its upper surt'ace hearing against the journal'and forming lubricant-confining spaces, for the purpose set forth.
4. In combination, a journal-box having slots in its sides, and a lubricant-device com- T prising bars projecting through said slots below the journal, springs depending on the outside of the box and connected with the projecting ends of the ha e to carry them, a
lubricant-holder supported within the box on said bars, and a perforated plate surmounting, and provided with depending flanges to lap the sides of, the holder and having projections on its upper surface at the perforations, forming lubricant-confining spaces and bearing against the journal, for the purpose set forth.
