IMPROVEMENT 1N OIL-cup.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom.4 it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, A. C. Ascom, of Evansville, Vanderhurg county, Indiana, have invented an Improved Oil-Cup; andl do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, andv exact description of the same.
My invention consists- First, of a tubular stud, arranged for the twofold purpose of receiving a wick-tube and for eonning the body of the cup to the object to be lubricated.
Secondly, in the combination with an oilcup, substautially as described hereafter, of a detachable wicktube, whereby facilities are alforded for cleansing; trimming,
Thirdly, in certain lateral openings formed in the wicktube, for the introduction of the wick, or for admitting the oil during the agitation ofthe cup.
Fonrthly, in a certain device, described hereafter, for renden'ng the cup operative orinoperatve.
ln order to enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, reference being had to the 'accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification, and in which- Figures I and 2 are vertical sections of my innproved oil-cup. l
Figure 3, a sectional plan on the line. l 2, tig. l.
Figure 4, a detached view of part ot' the cup.
A is the body of the cup, to the upper end ot' which is fitted the screw-cap B.
Through the base a 'of the cup passes a tubular stud, D, which, at b, is made six-sided, or of other appropriate shape, for receiving a screw-key, a collar, c, being formed on the stud for bearing against the base of the. cup, and the stud having at its lower end a screw-thread adapted to an internal `thread in the object to be lubricated, so that, on screwing down the said stud, bot-h the latter and the body of the cup will he firmly secured.
The stud terminates above at or near the level of the upper edge of the body A of the cup, and is arranged to receive a wick-tube E, the head of which is constructed in the manner best observed on referring to figs. 1 and 4.
v A shoulder, c, is formed ou. the tube E, and this shoulder bears on the top of the stud, and above theV shoulder the tube is enlarged, and two holes f and f', are drilled horizontally through thc enlargement at right angles to each other.
Above these holes a recess or pocket, h, is formed in the head of the tube for receiving and guiding the head of the pin i, the stern of the latter passing through the bottom of the recess into the space formed by the holes ff'.
Between the bottom of the recess and the head of the pin 1'. intervenes a spiral opening, which tends to elevate the pin, as shown in fig. 1.
In the center of the screw'cover B of the cup is a set-screw, Gr, fora purpose rendered apparent hereafter.
Flbrous strands a: (ordinary cotton-wick will serve the purpose) are passed through the head of the tube E, and down through'the latter, as seen in fig. I, the outer ends of 'the strands being immersed in the oil in the cup.
When a continuous transfer of oil to the object to be lubricated is required, the setscrew G is so adjusted that the spring m will maintain the pin rin the elevated position shown in tig. l, therebypermitting the oil to traverse the wick, but when further lubrication is unnecessary, the set-screw G is so turned as to depress the pin i, thereby depressing the wick and closing the opening through which the wick passes, as seen in tig. 2.
The advantages ot' my improved oil-cup will be apparent, especially when viewed applied to a locomotive, before the starting ot' which the screws can be. quickly adjusted, so that the wicks are at liberty to transfer the desired amount oi' oil to the bearing-surfaces, the screws being as readily adjusted at the conclusion ofthe trip, so as to prevent the further escape and waste of oil.
Another advantage of my invent-ion is the facility with which the tube can be det-ached for trimming and cleaning purposes, for, after removing the cover B, the tube can be at ont. withdrawn.
I t will be seen that my il'nproved oil-cup, although most eiiicient in its action, is of the most simple coustruction, the tubular stud D serving the twofold purpose ot' receiving the tube E and confining the cup to its place, while the invention can be carried out with economy, both as regards material and workmanship.
I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The tubular stud D, arranged for the twofold purpose of receiving the tube E and for confining the l body A ot the cup to its place, substantially as described.
2. The combination of the inner stationary tube of the oil-cup and a detachable tube, substantially as and ior the purpose described.
3. The detachable tube E, fitted to an oil-cup, and having lateral openings arranged at 'a point above the surface ot' the oil, for the purpose described.`
4. The. combination of the lateral openings ff in the wick-tube, with the spring-pin i and set-screw G.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two Subscribing witnesses.
