To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JULES HALTEN BERGER,

a citizen of Hungary, residing at Jackson, lin the county of Jackson and State of Michi-- gan, have invented. a new und useful Oiler,

of which the following is a specification.

It is the object of rny invention to provide a better splash .circulation of oil in the crank cases of internal combustion engines,

and especially to produce a movement of the oil longitudinally of the crank case by the splash action.

In certain types of internal combustion engines, the oil is picked up from one end of the casing and carried therefrom auto inatically to the other end oi the casing, and allowed toind its way back as loes?J it can from the latter end of the casing to the former end, As a result., the cylinders toward one end of the casing-the one to 4which the oil is automatically carriedilhave an excess of oil, resulting `in carboniization and consequent loss ofpower, While lthe cylinders toward the other end of the .lsingf farev insufliciently supplied with oil., 'resulting in lack of lubrication with its con sequent loss of power.

In attainingthe object of my invention. I provide splashers on the lower ends of '31! .fthe connectingF rods which connect the cranks of the crank shaft to the pistons, which splashers dip into .the oil in the bottomf of the crank case as the crank shaft is rotated and are skewed sol as to throw the oil lengthwise of the crank shaft; in combination with means for automatically feedingthe oil from that endof the crank case toward which such splashers throw the oil to theother' 'end of the' crank case.

The accompanying drawing illustrates in irinvention; y igure lis a side elevation'of an engine equipped with my invention, with the crank case partly in section to show the crank shaft connecting rods, a'nd'oil splasher's; Fig., 2 is an elevation on a larger scale of the lower end of'a connecting rod equipped withmy oil splasher; Fig, 3 isalso an elevation of the lower end-of such'connecting rod, buttaken from a View pointv atn'ght angles from that from which Fig. 2 is taken.; Fig'. 4 is a bottom. view of such connecting'rod; and Fig. 5 is a plan of a blank from4 which the oil splasher 'is made;

. The vengine` 10 is shown with four cylinders 11, 12, 13, and` 14, in which are pistons which are connected by connecting rods 15 to the four cranks on the usual crank shaft 16, the crank shaft and connecting rods being located .Within the usual crank case 17 60 which has oil pockets 18 in the plane of each of the connecting rods for the pistons in the cylinders 11, 12, and 13, though ordinaz-ily no such oil pocket is provided in the plane of ,the connecting rod for the piston in. the cylinder 14. A@ the rear end (the left in Fig. l) the crank case 17 is provided with au enlargement 19 in which may be the usual transmission mech anism.. The bottom of this enlargementlQ furnishes the inaiiv'lo oil reservoir 20, from which oil is lifted.

in any' suitable or usual manner into a pipe 21v which is turned up and enlarged at its rear end to receive the oil and slopes downward toward the front so as to convey the 7b oil so received to and discharge it into the front end of the casing 17. All this is standard construction.

Attached to the lower end of leach connecting rod 15 for the pistons in the cylin- 80 ders l1. 12 and 13 is my skewed splasher This splasher is made from a blank 26 of the form Shown vin Fig. si, having were holes 27'for the reception of the bolts which hold together the twol halves of the head oi the connecting rod 15, and this blank is doubled on itself along the line 29 and then bent at right angles in the opposite direction along the line 30. thus proriding a base portion 31 which is'clamped 90 between main and supplemental nuts' 32 and 33 on the bolts. 28 and a splasher portion 34A which extendsuat right angles to the base portion 31 and is at an oblique angle tothe 15. as clearfroln 2, 3, and 4.

When ,the engine' is in operation,j oil is (oriright hand) end of the crank case 17 lthrough; the pipe 21, and'gat'hersin the oi l ;pocketl `18 under the cylinder 100 plane of movement of the connecting rod 95 11.. vThe skewedsplasher portion 34 of the splasher --25 on the connecting rodfor the piston in 'the-cylinder 11 dips intothis oil pocket 18 and splashes theol both. through the crank casev and lengthwise thereofjtol werdt-he next pocket' 18` under the-cylinder 12. Thev splasher on the connecting rod for the piston in this cylinder '12 vsplashes the oil from the second pocket 18 through theI crank case and toward the third pocket- 18, 110 under the cylinder 13; and the splasher on the connecting 4for the piston in the cylinder 13 splashes the oil from the third;

4or a lark oi lubrication in the cylinders ton'ard the rear.

ln order to prevent the nuts 32 `and 33 't "om becoming loose, one or more corners o llurbase portion 3l of the oil splasher "Ji, may be bent up as shown on the lines 35, to provide lock nut tabs for the nuts 33.

l clai'ln as my invention:

l. In combination, a multiple cylinder en gine having cyliiulers, pistons, a crank shaft, connecting rods connecting the crank shafts and pistons, and a crank ease, said crank ease having oil pockets in. its bottom in thc planes of connecting rods, and skewed splashers on the ends of the :onnecting rods` for dipping into said pockets and splashing oil therefroni longitudinally ot`- the crank case.J

2. ln continuation, a multiple cylinder engine having cylinders, pist ons, a crank shaft, connecting rods connecting the crank shafts and pistons. and a crank case, and skewed splashe'rson the ends of the connecting rods for splashing oil longitudinally of the crank case.

.ln combination. a crank shaft. a crank ease in which .said crank shaft operates, connecting rods attached to Said crank shaft,

l and skewed splashers on the end of said connecting rods for dipping into o.A in the bottom of the crank case, and splashing it longitaulinally thereof.

l. ln combination, a crank shaft, a crank ease inV which said crank shaft is mounted, and a sken'ed splasher rotatable with a crank of said crank shaft for dipping into oil in the bottoni of the crank case and splashing it longitudinally thereof. l

In combination, a crank shaft, a crank case in which such crank Shaft is 1nountcd,a, connecting rod mounted on a crank of said crank shaft, and a skewed splasher xed on the end of said connecting rod for dippinrr into oil inthe bottom of the crank case an splashing it lengthwise of the crank case.

6. As an article of manufacture, an oil splasher comprising a base member arranged for attachment to a connecting rod, and a skewed splasher portion in a plane transf l verse to that of the base portion.

7. As an article of manufacture, a sheet metal oil. splasher, comprising a base portion provided with two bolt holes at the ends, a triangular portion doubled back on the ti rst portion, and a splasher portion bent transversely to said doubled-back portion and oblique to the line of the bolt holes.

8. As an article of manufacture, a sheet metal oil splasher, comprising'a base portion provided with tn'o bolt holes at the ends. and a splashcr portion bent from. the base portion in a plane transverse to that of the base portion and oblique to the line of the bolt holes.

f). In combilnition, a multiple Cylinder engine having cylinders, pistons, a crank shaft, connecting rods connecting the crank shafts and pistons, and a. crank case, said crank ease having oil pockets in its bottom in the 'ilanes of connecting rods skewed s lashers I i 7 on the 'endsmf the connecting rods for dipping into said pocketsl and splashing oil therefrom longitudinally of the crank case toward one end thereof, and means for autoniaticallyv feedingsaid oil toward the other end of the crank case.

10. In combination, a multiple cylinder engine having cylinders, pistons, a crank shaft, connecting rods connecting the crank shafts and pistons, and a crank case, and skewed splashers on the ends of the connecting' rodsfor splashing'oil longitudinally of the -crank case toward one end thereof, and means for automatically feeding said oil toward the otheren'd of the crank case.

Iii-witness whereof, 44I have hereunto set my hand atY Jackson, Michigan, this vthird day of April, A. D. one thou-sand nine hundred and seventeen.
