specification.V

This invention relatesto' hog Oilers, one of its objects beingto provide a rubbing element which, whenpr'essed against by ahog, will operatemeans for discharging a limited amount of oil which will be1 guided down` wardly onto the hog. v

` A further -object. is ,toprovide meansfor collecting surplus'oil discharged fromthe machine, said surplus 'being usedfor oiling a roller designed to'app'ly oil to a hog. y

A still further object is to provide means whereby a constant supply of oil may be provided, the same being prevented, however,

Y AWith the oregoing and otherzo'bje'cts'l view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, ,it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made Within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is a view partly in front elevation and partly in transverse section of one side portion of a side oiler embodying the present improvements.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the rubbing bar.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a supportingv frame having a base 2 on which is arranged a collecting tank 3. Mounted above and extending partly into this tank 1s a roller 4 designed as a means for transferring oil from gr the tank to the belly of a hog passing over the roller.

Supported above the collecting tank 3 1s a distributing tank 5 and opening downwardly into this distributing tank is the outflow tube 6 of a supply tank 7 Said outflow tube has one or more outlet openings 8 through which oil will iiow into the tank until the level of the oil in said tank rises i Specification of Letters Patent.

above the opening whereupon further 4sup,-4

ply of oil to the tank 5 will be cut oli.

, Pivotally connected to the lower portion of one side of the frame 1 is a rubbing bar 9 the lupper end portionofwhich is provided with spaced arms 10 the free ends of which are connected by aycross'pin 11 or the like. Thatend of the bar 9 between the armslO is inclined as shown at 12 in Fig. 1 so as to direct downwardly and inwardly any oil which maybe discharged onto the bar and between the arms 10. Longitudinal grooves 13 are formed in the inner side of thebar 9 and communicate with the space between the .arms 10 so that the oil guided along the inclinedl portion 12 will be directed into the grooves 13. The lowerend of thebar 49 is oiiset so as `to overhang one end portion of the tank 3 whereby any surplus oil leaving the grooves 13 will'gravitate into the tank 3.

The arms 10 are so shaped that when the bar 9is in its 4normal position withsaid arms resting against one end of the tank 5,

the rod or pin 11 will overhang the tank 5. This bar or pin 11 extends across a dipping spoon 14 which is pivotally mounted in the tank 5 as shown at 15 and has an upwardly extending tongue 16 provided with an opening 17 which communicates with the recess in the spoon 14. The arms 10 straddle the tongue 16 and the pin 11 extends across said tongue. Under normal conditions the spoon 14 rests upon the bottom of the tank 5 but, when the bar 9 is thrust laterally out of its normal position, the pin 11 will pull on the tongue 16 and will cause the spoon 14 to swing upwardly to the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. l. This will cause the contents of 4the spoon to pour therefrom through the opening 17 and onto a tongue or apron 18 which extends from the upper yportion of the tank 5 and into the space between the arms 10. Consequently the oil thus discharged will flow into the space be tween the arms 10 and onto the inclined face 12 and thence be ooves 13.

From the foregoing it is thought that the operation of the device will be clearly understood. When a hog passes over the roller 4 oil will be applied thereto as hereinbefore described. When the hog rubs against the bar 9, said bar will be shifted laterally as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1, thus causing the spoon 14 to swing upwardly and discharge its contents onto the bar 9 so that the distributed into the oil will thus be directed against the hog.

Surplus oil will flow into the tank 3 and be As the' levelof: thev supplied to the roller 4a oil in the distributing tank 5 is lowered, ad-

vditional oil will be supplied from the tank 7.
