Specification of Letters Patent. Pa,

Application filed March 1, 1915. Serial No. 11,278. y

To all whom it may concern: 4

Be it knownthat I, CHARLES H. TAYLOR, a citizen'of the United States, residing at Siletz, in the county of Lincoln and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lubricators; and I 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 make and use the same.

This inventionv relates to lubricators and more particularly toa lubricator embodying means for forcibly ejecting the contents of the container. I

The invention hasfor its object'to provide a lubricator of novel and eflicient construction embodying a cylindrical lubricant container receiving a'slidable follower or piston having a. central aperture receiving a spout the contents of the container is ejected.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a lubricator of the character described including means for' automatically position and novel and efiicient means associated lower- With these and other objects inview, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts as will be hereinafter specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which: i

Figure 1' represents 'lubricator.

Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal sectional view at right anglesto the plane of Fig. 1.

Fig. -3 represents. a transverse. sectional view on the line 3-3 of 2..

Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein similarreference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 indicates a container of i cylindrical formation having a bottom 6 and i an open upper end adapted to be closed by a removable cap or cover 7.. A piston or follower 8 is slidablymounted in the cylindrical container '5 and is formed with a cenm1. internally screwthreaded aperture removably-reoeiving the lower extremity of .a

spout or pipe 9 slidably mounted inand;

with the spout for actuating the fole cover 7. A suitableperipheral packing ring 19 is securedto the follower 8' to prevent the escape of lubricant past "the follower, as will beundersto'od;

A standard 11 is secured to .the cover .7

laterally of the central opening therein and is provided with an angularly directed and apertured end 12 receiving the spout 9 and providing a brace or guide therefor. An

annular shoulder 13 is secured to'or formed integral with the spout 9and constitutes an abutment for one end of a spring 14 coiled ta ed net. 27, 1917.

about the spout 9 and engaged at its opposite L end with the angularly directed end .12 of the standard 11. i The" tension of the coilspring 14 normally retains the follower 8 in the end of the cylindrical container 5 .adjacent the cap or closure]. =A suitable angular-nozzle 15 is removably secured in the outer end of the spout 9 and may bequickly and conveniently removed for filling the container 5 with a suitablelubricant' The spout 9 is formed with a plurality of laterally projecting teeth 16 adapted to co:

operate with the spring actuated pawl 17 to prevent movement of the spout 9 and follower 8 under the influenceof the spring 14'.

The pawl 17 is pivotally secured to a, relatively small standard 18' secured to the cap or closure 7 and may be-swimg to inopera tive position or out of engagement with the teeth 16 by an angular lever 19.

A main follower actuating lever 20is'pivotally secured at 21.to the standard 11 and; i

that the free end-21 thereof is so arran terminates irectly above a, handle 22 secured. y laterally of the cylindrical container 5.. A a side. elevation of the.

spring actuated pawl 23"ispivotallysecured to the lever 20 adjacent the spout 9 and is adapted to cooperate with .the teeth 16 to move the spout 9 downwardly when the lever 20 is actuated. An angular lever 24 is pivotally secured to the-maii lever 20 and :is adapted to cooperate with; the. arm 25 of the pawl 23 to disengage'the latter from the.

teeth 16 to permit'tlie' ;follower 8 and the;

spout to beinoved-tofinitial-position.

In use, the containeri'5 m y filled with iv a suitable lubricant byremoving the closure '7' and the follower 8 .orrthe follower 8 'may Q be moved to a position adjacent the closed cant with whichthe container is'to be filled.

"The pivoted-pawls175and 23fare subsequently released and-the follower 8is moved end or bottom6 of the container and the.

free end of the .s'pout.9placed 1n the lubntoward. the closure7'under the influence of V into the container 5 through the spout 9. To dispense the contents of the container the main lever 21 is depressed and the swinging movement thereof is imparted to the spout 9 by the pivoted pawl 23, thus moving the spout together with the follower 8 toward the bottom 6 of the container and forcibly ejecting a portion of the contents of the latter.

What I claim is:

,A lubricator comprising a containerv having one end open, a closure for said open end, a follower slidably mounted in said container, a spout having one end extended through said closure and connected to said follower; said spout having a portion of its cylindrical body provided with teeth, a standard formed integrally with the upper face of theclosure, said standard having its upper end curved inwardly and provided with an aperture slidably receiving the spout standard, 'a lever p'ivotallysecured to said standard,-a pawl pivotally secured to said lever and engaging said teeth of the spout for forcing said follower toward the closed end of the container against the tension of the coil spring, and means for holding the follower against upward movement, said coil spring adapted to return the follower to its initial position when said pawl and holding means are released.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
