, Application flied Gctober 15, 1912. Serial No. 725,845.
' drawing, in which Figure 1 is an outside view of a body of packing prepared in accordance with my invention Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section 01 the same, and Fig. 3 isa transverse section, on a smaller scale, of a journal box with the mass of packing disposed therein.
The mass of fibrous waste usually inserted in the lower portion of a journal box for the purpose of conveying the; lubricant therein to the exposed portion of the journal does not effectively perform this function. because, owing to its lack of resiliency, it does not at all times maintain itself in contact with the journal and thus fails to properly apply the lubricant to the latter. li loreover, the proper application of the mass of waste in the first instance is one reouiring considerable care and skill, and
when it becomes necessary to remove the mass the latter cannot be readily taken out as a unit but must be picked out by a hooked implement, so that both the packing and the repacking of the journal box requires con-- siderable time.
The object 01" my invention. is to overcome these objections and this object I accomplish by providing a unitary mass or body of packing which. can be introduced into or removed from the box without loss of time, and which possesses a considerable degree 01. resiliency. so that it will maintain itself at all times in contact with the journal and will consequently provide for the proper apjiilication of thelubricant to the latter.
The packing material is composed of masses of waste yarn or fiber 1, preferably of wool, bound together by couvolutions 2 of wire running from end to end of the mass, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, so as to cross each other have invented the fibrous bodies of which the mass is comand become interwoven 1n the mass, as shown in Fig. l, the masshaving a central opening 3 extending through the same from end to end, as shown in Fig. 2. In building up the body of packing masses of the yarn or fiber waste are applied in succession ton" rotating spindle and are bound in place thereon by the successive convolutions oi the wire, the applicationof the mass of yarn or fiber and the Wrapping of the convolutions ofwire around the same being conu tinned until a body of the desired bulk has been produced, the masses of Wastebeing,
by preference, so distributed during the operation that the body will be of greatest diameter at the center and will taper toward each end, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. When the operation has been completed the mass is. removed from the spindle so as to produce the central longitudinal opening 3. a
Besides the natural resiliency of the material constituting the textile body, the re silicncy of the latter is further enhanced by the resiliency of the wire coils whereby the component portions of the textile body are bound together, and still further by thehollow character of the mass due to the presence of the central longitudinal opening therein, consequently, when the packing body is introduced into the lower portion of a journal box 4-, as shown in Fig. 8, its resiliency will cause it to press closely against the exposed under side of the journal 5 at all times, the tapering shape of the body permitting it to adapt itself to the shape of the space in, the journal box available for its reception without risk of compressing the end portions of the mass in the relatively contracted spaces between the sides of the journal and the sides of the box to such an extent as to interfere with the free passage, of the lubricant through these portions of the mass, or to detract from the capillarity of posed, the result being the efiective application of the lubricant to the exposed portion of the journal until the body of lubricant with which the box is supplied has been practically exhausted.
I claim:
1. A journal box packing consisting of a hollow-cored mass of textile fibers disposed in successive superposed layers, each bound by a coil of wire extending throughout its no length and having the same longitudinal axis as the mass of fibers.
2. A journal box packing consisting of a length and having the same longitudinal mass of textile fibers disposed in successive axis as the mass of fibers, the diameter of 15 superposed layers, each bound by a coil *ofutiw extending throughout its length and 5 having the same longitudinal axis as the mass of fibers, the convolutions of some of the coils being wound in one direction and those of the alternate coils being Wound in the opposite direction.
10 3. A journal box packing consisting of a hollow-cored mass of textile fibers disposed in successive superposed layers, each bound by a coil of Wire extending throughout its the fibrous mass and ofthe series of coils decreasing from the center toward each end of the mass.
In testimony whereofl I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of 20 two subscribing Witnesses.
