MICHIGAN.

OILER.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7 Patented NOV. 25, 1919.

Application filed March 10, 1919. Serial No. 281,853.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, MATTHEW O. VAN ALs'rYNn and CHARLES H. VAN ALSTYNE, citizens of the United States, residing at- South Haven, in the county of Van Buren and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oilers, of I which the followlng 1s a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in oilers for use upon vehicle springs, and its objects are: first, to provide an oiler that may be readily removed and replaced; second, to provide a means whereby the vertical sides of the oiler may be readily re,

moved and replaced.

We attain these objects by the mechanism 1 and construction of parts shown in the accompanying drawlng, 1n whlch Figure 1 1s a plan of the oiler complete. Fig. 2 is a lonsimilar parts are provided with a slot, 3, through each, 1

for the passage of the lips 4 at the upper ends of the end pieces 6. We prefer that the upper ends of these pieces be ofliset, as at 5, for the formation of the lips 4:, so said lips may be readily passed into and through, and taken out of the slots 3 by carrying the lower ends into practically the position indicated by the dotted lines.

The end pieces 6 must be made with simple of attachment and removal.

loops 10 are designed to' receive and retain. the springs 11, for securing the oiler in place, and pressing the wicking securely against the edges of theisprings, when in use.

the. edges formed at right angles with the bodies, V as indicated at 7, so as to cover the edges of the felt 9 and avert the danger of dust, &c.,

coming into contact with, and being absorbed by the wicking and vitiating the oil.

This construction is designed as an improvement upon our Patent Number 1,244,923, issued October 30, 1917, and renders the application of said oiler much more The The oil container 1 of this oiler is made hollow and has a wick, or felt packing in each end, so arranged that there will be a considerable open space between the upper ends of the wicks, and the sides of the wicks will extend downwardly, as at 9, far enough to insure the oil with which it is saturated, to act upon the edges of each and all of the layers of the springs. The opening 8 is for the entrance of oil; into the oil container.

What we claim as new inthe art, is:

1. In an oiler for vehicle springs, a hollow oil container, the ends of the top of'said container bent downwardly and provided with slots, end plateschanneled and having a lip 1 formed thereon in position to be made to pass through the slots in the tops of the oil container.

2. In an oiler for vehicle springs, a hollow oil container, the ends of the top of the container bent downwardly at right angles and having a slot through each end, channel shaped ends having offsets forming lips arranged to be passed through the slots, and

loops formed uponthe lower ends'jof the end pieces.
