PATENT OFFICE.
EDWIN w. sMrrH, or WATERBURY, connncrron'rs IMPROVEMENT m 'AXLE-LUBRIC'ATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,761 dated July 23, 1872.
To all whom it may concern: a
Be it known that I, EDWIN W. SMITH, of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Lubricator for Axles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawing is a representation of a sectional view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a top view when closed. Fig. 3 is a top view when open. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of cover.
This invention has relation to lubricators; and consists in the means hereinafter de scribed for'conducting the oil to the shaft or bearing, and for preventing leakage.
Referring to the drawing, A represents a cylindrical cup, having an inwardly-proj ecting rim, b, and furnished with a pivoted cover, I). The adjacent surfaces of the rim and cover are provided with concentric grooves a, each having its inner wall inclined and its outer wall vertical, so that any oil which may get between the rim andthe cover will tend to flow toward the center opening. The cup is provided with-a neck, B, having a thread cut on its outside, so that it may be secured to a hub or journal-box. Through the center of said neck is an aperture for the passage of oil. D designates a spiral wire or spring arranged Within the cup at its outer end, and attached to a twisted wire, d, passing through the neck to the surface to be lubricated.
The spiral and twisted wires are designed to feed the oil to the bearing, whether the cup be in an upright or other position, and whether the bearing be revolving or reciprocating; The twisted wire supports the spiral wire, and by reason of its form provides channels, along which the oil may freely flow. Sometimes a strand of yarn is twisted in the wires to assist the capillary movement.
What I claim as new is The lubricator herein described, consisting of the oil-cup A, spiral spring 1), twisted shank d, inwardly-projecting rim 1), and piv-' oted cover I), having concentric grooves, all
arranged in the manner as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
EDWIN W. SMITH.
