Description

UNITED STATES PATENT- OFFICE..
CHARLES IERIe, or JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY,v
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROAD-CAR JOURNAL-BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [05.659, dated July 26,1870.
the art to make and use the same, reference be.
ing had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this Specification, in which-` Figure l represents -a vertical transverse section of my improved Self-oiler for journalboxes. Fig. 2 isa general'plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is 'a side view ot' the inner wiper. Fig. 4 is a plan or top view of thesame.
Similar letters otret'erence `indicate corre-V ,sponding parts.
This invention has for its object to construct a selfoiling journatbox for theaxle-bearings of'railroad-cars; and it consists in the application to the boxof a pump for conveying the lubricating material from the lower to the upper part of the journal-box, the said pump be-` ing operated by the vertical movement ot' the car or truck body.
The invention consists also in the combination,with the journal-box, ofaspring-wiper, by means of which the coagulated oil is removed from the axle.
Ain the drawings represents the lower part of the journal-box. lhe box is of suitable construction, and has suitable bearings for the axle. In the lower part of the jonrnatbox is contained the oil or lubricating matter. B is a pump, secured to thejournal-box so that its lower end communicates with the lower part ot' the box, while the dischargespout a of the box reaches intothe upper part of the journalbox. The plungerrod C of the pump is with its upper end secured to the frame of the truck or car so that during the motion of the car the verticalvibration or movement of the upper frame will work the pump and convey the liquid from thelower to the upper part'of the journal-box, discharging it upon the end of the axle. While the ear is at rest thelubrieating matter will remain undisturbed.
n VVit-llin the box A, I set up a smaller internal box, D, which is to contain keroseneoil or Some other light iiowing substance.
A wick, E, held between two perforated plates, F F, is dipped into the box D.
The plates F are connected at the ends, to form a frame or wick-tube, which rests upon springs b b, that press it up toward the caraxle. The frame or wick-tube contains in its lower part another Spring, c, which presses the wick up aga-inst the axle. The. wick draws the oil intoits upper part and wipesthe axle clean ot' all superfluous or coagulated lubricating matter. A flange, cl, projects all around the Lipper part ot' the wick-tube F, to prevent.
the lubricating matter from dropping into the box D.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patenti l. The pump B, having its plunger C secured to and operated by the vertically-moving frame ofthe car, combined with the j ournal-box A, as set forth, to form a self-oiling lubricator.
2. The wick E and perforated plates F, resting, respectively, upon the springs b b and c,
combined with the box D, all relatively ar.- ranged in a journal-box, as and for the purpose
