IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR ILING WOOL, &c.

'The Schedule referred to in theaell'etters Patent and making part of the same.

I, CHARLES G. SARGENT, of Westf'ord, in the county of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in-Oilers for Oil ing Wool orother Fibrous Materials, of which the'following is a specification'.

My invention relates to the combination of a revolving brush with a reciprocating bucket, to which is attached a blade, and a cylindrical reservoir containing oil, the object of the bucket beingto raise the oil within reach of the revolving brush.

The brush revolving against the blade is bent by the blade, but on being still further revolved, owing 'to its elasticity, it straightens suddenly and throws oli` the oil in formof mist upon the wool. I

My invention also relates to the method of graduating the quantity of oil taken up by the bucket for the use ofthe brush.

In the'accompanying drawing- Figure I is an end elevation of a machine embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same drawn through the line A B in fig. 4.

Figure 3 is a horizontal section below the line G D in fig. 2.

Figure 4 is a plan of said machine. l

Figure 5 is a `sectional view of the bucket and brush.

Figure 6 i's a view, from beneath, of the bucket and brush.

Figures 7, 8, 9, and 10 are views showing some of the various forms in which said bucket may be made.

In all the figures the same letters indicate corresponding parts.

E is the cylindrical reservoir, the horizontal wavy lines in fig. 2 showing the position of the oil.

In the top of said reservoir is au opening, F, (closed by a cover when not in use,) through which the oil is introduced into the reservoir.

G is a shaft running lengthwise through reservoir E, and supported at each end by the boxes H H.

Arms K K K are each attached at one end to shaft G, and at the other end to the bucket I.

This bucket may be constructed of various forms, as shown.`

J is the revolving brush, being a long straight shaft of any desirable shape or material, extending the length of the reservoir. E, and supported by and revolving in brackets L L,`whch. are adjustable upon the reservoir by means oi` the slots S and screws in said slots.

Misa bonnet, which serves to protect the brush from dust.

N is a pulley at the end of the brush, by means of which said brush is operated.

At the other end of the brush-shaft is a crank, O, connected, bythe connecting-rod P, with another crank, Q, on the end of the shaft G.

The crank Q is longer than the crank O, so that when the brush is operated a reciprocating motion is communicated to the bucket, which alternately dips into the oil and rises to where it may be reached by the brush.

The two cranks, O and Q, are so adjusted relatively to each other upon their respective shafts that, when tbe brush is revolved to a cert-ain point, the bristles of the brush dip into the bucket, and then, as the brush revolves further, are bent by the blade R laterally until, passing the blade, they straighten suddenly and snap ot the oil from ther'ends in a iue mist upon the wool, therebytemptying the bucket of its contents.

The blade is capable of such adjustment, by means of the slotsaud screws at T, as to project more or less above the bucket, increasing or diminishing the capacity of the bucket for holding oil.

The bristles aredisposcd in'one or more rows along the shaft', increasing or diminishing the amount of oil thrown upon the fibrous material in process of manufacture. Y

I do not confine myself` to the method of graduating the supply of oil to a vibratory bucket, as the same method oi' graduating would be applicable to the buckets of' a revolving cylinder.-

1 claim asy my invention- 1. The vibrating oil-supplying bucket I, constructed as described, and operating iu a machine for oiling wool and other iibrous materials, substantially as and for the purpose'herein `specified.

2. The adjustable bl de R applied to the vibratory bucket I for graduating the amount of oil taken up by the bucket, substantiallyas herein set forth.

3. The combination of the vibratory bucket I and revolving brush J, when constructed, arranged, and operating together, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein specitied.

4,. The combination of the vbratory bucket I with its adjustable blade R, the revolving brush J and reservoir E, operating together in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
