be opened and closed with facility and when closed or even when left open will not rattle or make a noise, in which the fit will be close and practically air tight and will not allow of any slopping over of the oil and it consists essentially of the following arrange ment and construction of parts as hereinafter more particularly explained.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a ournal box showing my lid in the closed position.
Fig. 2 is 'a similar view to Fig. 1 showing the lid in the open position.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through Fig. 1. j
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section through Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective detail of the hinge connection of the lid.
Figs. 6 and 7 are perspective details of the parts forming the hinge connection shown in Fig. 5 separated apart.
In the drawingilike characters of refer- 1 indicates the body of the journal box, the lower front portion of which is provided with an upwardly inclined portion 1 to form an oil well at the bottom of the ournal box in accordance with the usual practice. 2 indicates a boss which extends upwardly from the top of the journal box and from the upper edge of the mouth 1 of such box. 2 and 2 indicate rectangular studs extend- ;ing outwardly from each side of the box 2,
which studs are deeper than they are wide so as to prevent the lid falling off when it is open as will hereinafter appear. The studs are provided with heads 2 and 2 which are offset slightly upwardly.- '3 indicates a pair of-lugs which. extend forwardly from the base of the boss 2 and from the upper edge of the mouth 1 of the ournal box.

which is providedat itshinge point with an outwardly extending hooded portion 4", the side walls 4 and 4 of which are formed hollow, the inner wall portions 4 and 4 of such hollow wall portions 4' and 4 being providedwith orifices 4 and {i from which extend slots 4 and 4 such slots extending between .the orifices 4 and 4 :and thevertical edges of the wall portions 4 and 4. The slots 4 and 4 are sufliciently wide to allow of the passage of the studs 2 and 2' into the orifices 4: and 4-, the heads 2 and 2 entering into the space formed by the hollow wall portion and being sufiiciently large to prevent lateral movement of the cover. The end edges 4 and 4 of the slots are raised and form a stop against which the deep side of the studs abut when the lid is raised, and prevent the lid being shaken off, see dotted lines Fig. 4 and full lines Fig. 5.
5 and 6 indicate a pair of bosses which depend inwardly from the inner face of the cover and extend longitudinally thereof at each side of the center. The bosses 5 and 6 are provided with orifices 5 and 6 provided with enlarged inner ends 6' as indicated by dotted lines in Figs. 3 and 4. 7 indicates a U-bolt provided with a lug 7 extending,
provided with alined holes through which a pivot 7 extends. The side portions of the bolts 7 forming the U extend freely into the orifices 5 and 6 and are provided near their bases with enlargements 7 between which and the reduced portion of the orifices 5 and 6 extend compression springs 8, such springs surrounding each of the members forming the U-bolt.
The journal box lid 4 is provided with side flanges 4 fitting to each side of the journal box when the lid is in the closed position. The interior face of the cover is also provided with a surrounding face groove -1 into which the edge of the mouth the journal box 'fits when the cover is closed.
It will be seen that when the door is in the open position as shown in'Fig. 4 that the pressure of the springs S serve to force'the cover up and longitudinally outward thereby drawing the cover ina direction to carry the edge of each orifice 4 and 4' against the studs 2 and 2 and hold the cover in a steady position so that it Will not rattle.
Similarly when the cover is thrown to the closed position as shown in Fig. 3 the compression of the spring is exerted downwardly extending outwardly from the journal box in proximity to the mouth thereof, studs extending from each side of such stud bearing member, a lid, a hooded portion on thelid having open ended slots in the side walls thereof into which the studs extend, lugs extending forwardly from the upper edge of the journal box, depending bosses extending from the lid having orifices extending therethrough, a U-bolt member pivoted at one end between the lugs and having the arms thereof extending through the orifices of the depending bosses of the lid, and compression springs surrounding the U-bolt members between the lid bosses and base thereof.
