CAR-JOURNAL-LUBRICATING MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 4,1916.
Application filed August 20, 1915. Serial No. 46,420.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LEWIS BERNARD FLEISCHER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso and State of Texas, have in vented a new and useful Car-Journal-Lubrieating Machine, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in machines used and employed in lubricating and oiling the ournals on all classes of railroad cars and street cars, and has for one of its objects to improve the construction and increase the efficiency and utility of machines of this character.
With this and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim; and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a side view of the whole apparatus; Fig. 2 is an end View of the apparatus; Fig. 3 is a cross section of the whole apparatus cut through the line T T in Fig. 2; F ig. 4 is another cross section of said apparatus through the line S S shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is also a cross section of said apparatus through the line R R shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 6 is another cross section of said apparatus through the line U U shown in Fig. 1; and Fig.7 shows the apparatus in position in the oil box of a railroad car, applied under the journal, showing how the journal is lubricated with the machine.
The improved lubricator is to be con structed of iron, and may be constructed of any required size to fit the different sizes of standard journals, and comprises a roller, a, set in bearings, b, which roller touches car bearing, and is turned or revolved by and with the journal; this roller and its bearings are held in place by casting C, and
held up firmly against the journal by spring d,- the lubricating oil is. put in the box, as shown in Fig. 7, which box surrounds the journal, the oil being high enough in the box to touch the roller a; when the car moves the journal revolves and causes to revolve with it the roller (1, the roller a revolves in the oil and the oil is thereby conveyed by the roller a to the lower surface of the journal, sticks to the surface of the journaland is conveyed thereby into the bearings which rest on the journal.
The spring is indicated by d and is held in place by pivot e, which passes through a hole in the spring; the movement of the spring at either end is allowed and provided for by a slot in the frame, at either end, f, insuring free movement of the spring, and allowing it'to serve its purpose of keeping the roller, a, tight against the surface of the journal at all times and in whatever position the journal may be in caused by curves and motions of the car. The spring also allows the putting in of new journal bearings by allowing the roller to be pushed down into the frame, out of the way.
It will thus be noted that a simply constructed and secure machine is constructed, which will effectually lubricate the carjournal bearing, supplying the bearing with oil at all times, keeping the bearing free from grit, sand and dirt, and preventing overheated bearings or hot boxes, and
This improved journal-lubricating machine is simple in construction, can be inexpensively manufactured, and applied to all of the various standard journals on railroad cars and streetcars now in use, for which any other journal lubricating device is now employed.
What is claimed is: V
In a lubricator for journal boxes, the combination of a lubricating roller adapted to extend lengthwise along and in contact with the axle journal, a vertically movable bearing member provided with bearings for the ends of the roller, an open rectangular frame in which said bearing member is mounted for movement, said frame being provided with keeper slots at the ends thereof, and a bowed spring centrally connected with the said bearing member and havingits end portions slidably engaging said keeper slots in the end walls of the frame.
