LUBRICATING OR OILING DEVICE.

bles, although the device can be used for any purposes wherein it is found applicable, and the object thereof is to provide a device of such class, with means in a manner as hereinafter set forth, whereby the cable can be conveniently lubricated or oiled.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a device of such class which is simple in its construction and arrangement,

strong, durable, conveniently operated, convenient in its use, readily set up in operative position with respect to the cable and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically de-' scribed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, whereln 1s shown an embodimentof the lnvention, but 1t is to be understood that changes, variations, and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

erence is had to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of an oiling device in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in longitudinal section and with the operating lever broken away. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device. Fig. 4 is a sec tional view of one of the oil-feeding wheels, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the vertically movable oil-supplying means through which the cable passes to be oiled.

Referring to the drawings by reference characters, 1 denotes a housing open at its lower end and including a pair of end walls Specification of Letters Patent.

each of which is provided with an opening 2 for the passage of the cable 3, the latter extends through said housing 1 as clearly illustrated. Arranged within the housing 1 is a vertically movable oil receptacle 4, car rying at its upper end an oil-supply member, through which, when the receptacle 4 is elevated, the cable 3 is adapted to pass and be oiled.

The oil supply member includes a pair of end pieces 5 which are fixed upon the top edge of the end walls of the oil receptacle 4, and it further includes a longitudinally extending trough 6 which is connected to said end pieces 5 and which is formed centrally with an opening 7 for a purpose to be presently referred to. The end pieces 5 are formed with notches 8 which register with the trough 6 and through which extends the cable 3 when the receptacle 4 is elevated. The trough 6 centrally thereof has each side formed with an offset 9, the offsets 9 are provided with oppositely disposed oil conducting grooves 10 which constitute means for conducting the oil to the trough. The offsets 9 constitute deflectors for causing the oil to travel toward the grooves 10. Each end of the trough 6 has a vertically disposed outlet 11 whereby the surplus oil is conducted back into the receptacle 4. Rotatably mounted in the bearings 1.1, connected to the top of the said walls of the receptacle 4, is a shaft 12 carrying at a point between each side of the trough and the end wall of the receptacle 4 an oil-feeding wheel 13 provided with pockets 14. The In describing the invention in detail,ref-

wheels 13 extend down into the body of a well carried by the receptacle 4, and the pockets 14 of one wheel are oppositely disposed with respect to the pockets 14 of the other wheel, and by such an arrangement, one wheel will elevate the oil when the shaft is rotated in one direction and when the shaft is rotated in the opposite direction, the other wheel will elevate the oil. Each of the pockets 14 is formed with an outlet 15 which opens on the inner side of each of the wheels and when the oil is elevated by the wheel it is discharged in the pockets through the openings 15 and upon an offset 9 and conducted by a groove 10 into the trough 6. Mounted upon the shaft 12 centrally thereof and extending up through the opening 7 into the trough 6 is a pulley 16,

which, when the receptacle 4 is elevated, en-

gages with the traveling cable 3, causing by such an engagement a rotation of the shaft 12 and the feeding of the oil by a wheel 13 to the trough, so that as the cable 3 passes through the trough 6, it will be oiled.

The receptacle 4; is elevated through the medium of a pair of cams 17 mounted upon the rock shafts 18 journaled in the lower end of the side walls of the housing 1. The shafts 18 project from one side of the housing 1 and each is provided with a crank 19.

The reference character 20 denotes a conducting bar which couples the cranks 19 together and which is also attached, as at 20*, to an operating lever 21 pivoted, as at 22, to the housing 1. When the lever 21 is shifted outwardly, the shafts 18 are rocked bringing the cam 17 into engagement with the bottom of the receptacle 4:, thereby elevating the latter so that the trough will be placed in such position with respect to the cable 3 that as the latter travels to the trough, it will be oiled, due to the fact that the oil is supplied to the trough by one of the wheels 13. hen the lever 21 is shifted in the opposite direction the receptacle 4 lowers by gravity.

What I claim is:

1. An oiling device comprising a vertically movable oil receptacle, an oil containing trough carried by said receptacle and movable to a position with respect to a traveling cable for oiling the latter during the travel thereof, and means carried by said receptacle and capable of being operated by the traveling cable for feeding oil from the receptacle to said trough.

2. An oiling device comprising a vertically movable oil receptacle, an oil containing trough carried by said receptacle and movable to a posit-ion with respect to a traveling cable for oiling the latter during the travel thereof, means carried by said receptacle and capable of being operated by the traveling cable for feeding oil from the receptacle to said trough, and a cam and lever mechanism for elevating said receptacle and further constituting a supporting means therefor.

3. An oiling device for traveling cables comprising a vertically movable oil receptacle, an oil-containing trough carried thereby and capable of being positioned when the receptacle is elevated in such relation to the traveling cable as to oil the same during the travel thereof, a revoluble shaft mounted upon said oil receptacle and provided with means capable of engaging with the traveling cable causing a rotation of the shaft, and an oil-feeding meanscarried and operated by the shaft and capableof supplying oil from the receptacle to the trough.

4. An oiling device for traveling cables comprising a vertically movable oil recepta cle, an oil-containing trough carried thereby and capable of being positioned when the receptacle is elevated in such relation to the traveling cable as to oil the same during the travel thereof, a revoluble shaft mounted upon said oil receptacle and provided with means capable of engaging with-the traveling cable causing a rotation of the shaft, and an oil-feeding means carried and operated by the shaft and capable of supplying oil from the receptacle to the trough, said trough provided with oil conducting means and further having means for discharging the surplus oil back into the receptacle.

5. An oiling device for traveling cables comprising a vertically movable oil receptacle, an oil-containing trough carried thereby and capable of being positioned when the receptacle is elevated in such relation to the traveling cable as to oil the same during the travel thereof, a revoluble shaft mounted upon said oil receptacle and provided with means capable of engaging with the traveling cable causing a rotation of the shaft, and an oil-feeding means carried and operated by the shaft and capable of supplying oil from the receptacle to the trough, and a cam and lever mechanism for elevating said receptacle and further constituting a supporting means therefor.

6. An oiling device for traveling cables comprising a vertically movable oil receptacle, an oil-containing trough carried thereby and capable of being positioned when the receptacle is elevated in such relation to the traveling-cable as to oil the same during the travel thereof, a revoluble shaft mounted upon said oil receptacle and provided with means capable of engaging with the traveling cable causing a rotation of the shaft, and an oil-feeding means carried and operated by the shaft and capable of supplying oil from the receptacle to the trough, said trough provided with oil conduct-ing means and further having means for discharging the surplus oil back into the receptacle, and a cam and lever mechanism for elevating said receptacle and further constituting a supporting means therefor.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
