RAYMOND Gr. FIEGE, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
AUTOMATIC OILER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 4, 1920.
Application filed. October 4, 1919. Serial No. 328,376.
To aZZw/wm it may concern:
Be it known that I, RAYMOND G. Freon, citizen of the United States residing at Cleveland, in the county of (/uyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Oilers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an oiling device which will be automatic in its action and is particularly adapted for use in lubricating the various running parts of an automobile, such as the cooling fan, the spring shackle bolts, and the various levers and connecting links which due to their frequent use require a constant supply of lubricant. Although it is obvious that an apparatus of like character may be applied to any moving part of machinery.
The invention consists in the construction, combination and novel arrangement of parts as hereafter shown, described and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
Referring to the drawings wherein like reference numerals designate similar parts of reference throughout the various views, Figure 1 is an elevation of the device constructed in accordance with the principles above set forth; Fig. 2 is a central vertical section through the device and Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof.
The lubricator as shown comprises a cylindrical reservoir 1 which is provided near its top and bottom with annular beads 2 which are pressed outwardly from the metal and which serve to strengthen the reservoir and prevent injury thereof. The reservoir is closed with a bottom 3 and the top is closed with a cap or cover 4:, and this cover may be permanently fixed to the reservoir if desired, although it is not necessary be cause of its frictional engagement thereof. The central portion of the cover is in the form of an inverted cone and at the apex thereof is provided with a semi-spherical projection 5 for a purpose to be hereinafter described.
Oil is fed into the reservoir through an opening 6 which is normally kept in a closed position by means of a pivoted cover 7. The oil. is fed downwardly to the working parts by means of a conveying pipe 8, which proj ects through a suitable opening in the bot tom 3 of the reservoir and is secured in place by having the metal of which the bottom is made bent or crimped, as shown at 9, over an annular flange 10 formed as part of the pipe 8. Beneath the flange l0 and projecting outwardly from the reservoir the pipe is provided with a tapered thread 11 whereby a suitable connection 12 may be screwed to convey the oil to the working parts of the machinery.
The manner in which the oil is conveyed there may be briefly described by the following:
Oil is supplied to the reservoir through the opening 6 until such time as the level thereof approaches the top of the reservoir. Due to the fact that the machine is in motion the oil is agitated sufficiently to bathe the under surface of the inverted cone portion of the cover 1-, and the oil then gravitates to the center or apex thereof and collects upon the spherical projection 5, and sufficient oil accumulating there it drops into the'frusto-conical opening 13 in the top of the pipe and is conveyed downwardly through the reduced bore 14 of the pipe. This bore extends approximately to the bottom of the reservoir and is enlarged as shown at 15 and permits the same to be conveniently cleaned, and from there the oil is conducted directly to the'working parts of the machinery.
It will thus be seen that an automatic means is provided whereby oil may be fed in an economical and effective manner to the machine in a positive manner, by a device that will need a minimum of attention on the part of the user and one which is incapable of becoming clogged, thereby impairing its efficiency.
While I have shown and described this particular form of invention I do not wish to limit myself in the construction of the same further than is required by the state of the art or that which comes within the scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
An oil cup provided with an outlet pipe having an upper open end within the cup and above the normal oil level therein, and an inverted conical cap on the cup, said. cap having a projection at its apex above the open end of said pipe, and also having a filling opening provided with a cover, located out of alinement with said pipe.
In testimony whereof, I do affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
RAYMOND G. FIEGE. Witnesses:
