OILING DEVICE.

Specification of Iletters Patent. I Patented Sept. 24, 1912.

Application filed November 23, 1911. Serial No. 661,885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that we, J ACOB W.-F. BERRY.

and JOHN MACON, citizens of the United States, residing at St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oiling Devices; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to iii-sh, and use the same.

Ourinvention relates to new and useful improvements in oiling devices and more particularly to an oiling device, by means of which a quantity of oil may be forced, when desired, to the bearings of an engine. The object of our invention is to provide a receptacle for containing a supply of oil and means associated therewith for forcing.

a quantity of said oil to the bearings of a engine.

Other objects and advantages of our inmade clearly apparent in the specification and pointed out in the claims. a

In the accompanying drawing we have shown the preferred form which our invention may take.

The drawing shows a longitudinal sectional view through our complete device.

teferring to the drawings, in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 is a receptacle, which is preferably circular in cross section, and which is open atone end and provided with a reduced opening 2 at its opposite end. The open end of said receptacle s adapted to benormally closed by means of a cover 3. The cover 3 is proiided with a preferably centrally disposed aperture 4, through which a rack 5 is adapted to extend. The inner-end of the rack 5 is secured to a plun er 6, which is adapted,

as hereinafter described, to force the lubricant contained by the receptacle 1 through the aperture 2. The cover 3 is also provided with a rearwardly extending bracket 7, to the rear end of which is pivotally secured a gear wheel-8, adapted to mesh with said rack In order that-the gear 8 may be rotated when desired so that the rack 5 may be the upper portion of the receptacle 1. One

end wall of the cylinder 9 is provided with cut off for the opening 2 when the piston 17 suitable operating a centrally disposed aperture 10, around which is formed a sleeve 11. The sleeve 11 forms a bearing for a rod 12, which is secured at its inner end to a piston head 13. The piston head 13 closely fits within the cylinder 9 and is adapted to be normally held in the position shown in the drawing, by means of a coiled spring 14 disposed between one end wall of the cylinder and one face of the piston. The outer end of the rod 12 is provided with a pawl 15 adapted to engage the teeth of the g an wheel 8.

The opposite endof the cylinder 9 is provided with an opening 15, in which is adapted to be secured a pipe 16 for the admission of a suitable fluid such as air or steam.

The reduced outlet opening 2 is secured to and in engagement with an oil cylinder 37, in which is slidablyimountedL a piston head 17 The piston'l? is normally in the position shown in the drawing. Said piston head is provided with an upwardly} extending portion 18, whichis adapted to act as a is forced out of the position shown inv the drawings, as hereinafter more clearly described. The opposite end of the cylinder 37 is provided with a plurality of openings 19 in which are secured oil supply pipes 20 adapted to conduct oil to the bearings of an engine. The piston head 17 is rigidly connected to a piston rod 2 1, whichextends through the upper endof the cylinder, it being understood that a suitable packing gland 22 is provided for said rod 21. The rod 21 also extends throu h the lower end of a cylinder 23, a suitab e packing gland 24 being provided. The upper end of the rod is rigidly connected to a piston .25, which isjnormally held in the position shown by means of a coiled spring 26 interposed between said piston and the lower end of the cylinder 23. The upper end of said cylinder.

23 is provided with an opcning'27, in which 100 is secured a pipe,28 for the admission of a fluid such as air or steam. The pipes 16 an air maybe admittedto the'c linders 9 and 23, when desired.

The valve 29 consists of acasing and a rotatable member 30 having communicating ways 31, '32 and 33therein. As shown in 110 28 are extended and con-" nected to a suitable operating valve "29, by means of which the operatingiluid such as 9 5 casing 29 is provided with an inlet opening 35 adapted to receive the end of a pipe extending from a suitable operating fluid supply tank.

When it is desired to force a quantity of oil to the bearings of theengine with which our device is associated, the valve is operated so as to bring the ways 31 and 32 into communication with the inlet opening '35 and the pipe 16, respectively. The operatunder pressure, will be admitted by pipe 16 to the end of cylinder 9 and consequently the piston 13 will be forced toward the 9p posite end of said cylinderagainst the action of the coiled spring 14.. This movement of the piston 13 will result in causing the pawl 15 to rotate the gear wheel 8. The movement of the gear 8 will force the rack 5 inwardly so that the piston 6 will place the quantity of grease contained in the recep tacle 1 under pressure and force a quantity thereof through the outlet opening 2 and into the cylinder 37.

The cylinder 37 is of such a size as to hold a quantity of oil suflicient to properly lubricate the bearings of the engine to which the same is connected. When the. cylinder 37 has been filled, as just described, the valve .29 is returned to initial position, allowmg the cylinder 9, to exhaust and then is operated so that the ways 31 and 32 are brought into communication with the inlet opening 35 and the pipe 28, respectively, so that the operating fluid will be admitted to the upper end of the cylinder 23. The operating fluid will force the piston -25 to the opposite end of the cylinder agalnst the action of the coiled spring 26. At the same time the piston 17 will be moved downwardly to the lower end of the cylinder 37 and will force the quantity of grease or lubricant contained therein through the pipes 20 to the bearings of the engine to which said pipes are connected.

It will be understood that when the 'piston 17 is moved downwardly, the grease under pressure in the receptacle 1 will be prevented from filling the upper portion of the cylinder 37 by the cut ofi 18.

When the operating fiuid is cut offfrom the cylinders 9 and 23, it will be understood that the coiled springs 14 and 26, respectively, will return their pistons 13 and 25, respectively, to initial position so that when it is desired to force an additional quantity 7 of oil to the hearings of the engine the above described operation is repeated.

\ 'The receptacle 1 is adapted to contain a a large omentit of heavy grease or other lubricant, which is adapted to be placed under ing fluid, which it will be understood is pressure and forced therefrom. It is uni necessary and impractical to place the con: tents of the receptacle under sufficient pressure to force the same directly .to the bearings, so that in addition to the receptacle 1 and its controlling means, we find it desirable to employ a smaller receptacle or cylinder adapted to contain a quantity of grease or lubricant suificient for one oiling, and also employ means for forcing the grease therefrom to the bearings of an engine. 7

From the foregoing description it will be seen that we have provided a device adapted to contain a quantity of grease or other desired lubricant and adapted, when desired,

to forcea quantity thereof to the bearings of the engine.

While We have described the preferred form of our invention, we desire it to be understood that certain modifications may I be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of our invention.
