A TTOHNEVS UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LOUIS HENRY WILLIAMS, ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI.
OIL-CUP.
1,350,196. g "I g Application fi'led'March 1,
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS HENRY WIL- LIAMS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of St. Joseph, in the county of Buchanan and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in ()iLCups, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to improvements in oil cups, and it consists in the combination, constructions, and arrangements herein described and claimed.
An object of my invention is to provide a novel form of oil cup that is adapted to be attached directly to a leaf spring of an automobile, whereby a lubricating oil is fed as needed-between the leaves composing the spring.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described that can be quickly attached to a leaf spring or detached therefrom without the necessity of using any tools.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described that can be filled while in operative position.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described that is simple in construction and operation, and is inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device applied to a leaf spring of an automobile.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view partly in section of the device as applied,
Fig. 4: is a perspective view of a portion of the device.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a pair of separable tray-shaped receptacles 1 and 2. The construction of the receptacles 1 and 2 is identical, and the following description of the receptacle 1, which is illustrated in Fig. 4cof the accompanying drawings, will suffice as a description of both receptacles 1 and 2. I have accordingly indicated corresponding parts in receptacles 1 and 2 by the same reference numerals.
Referring now to Fig. 4, it will be noted Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 17,1920.
1920. Serial No. 362.432.
that the receptacle 1 has upright .end portions 3 and 4 and upright side portions 5 and 6. Lugs formed-on the end portions 3 and 4: are bent outwardly and then downwardly to form hooks 7 and 8. An oil hole 9 is provided in the end portion 3. A continuous strip of packing 10, which has a thickness equal to the height of the side portions 5 and 6, is arranged within the receptacle 1 and is disposed along the side portions 5 and 6 and the end portion 4 to provide an oil chamber 11. It will be noted that the oil chamber ll may be filled through the oil ject slightly toward the center of the leaf 13 and the leaf 19, thus preventing the leakage of the contents of the receptacles 1 and 2 at the points of contact with tlie top and bottom portions of the leaf spring.
The receptacles 1 and 2 are adjustably held against the leaves 13, 14, 15,16, 17, 18, and 19 by means of tension springs 12 which are hooked at their ends over the hooks 7 and 8.
'From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. A lubricating fluid is poured through the oil hole 9 until the oil chamber 11 has been filled. The packing 10 will prevent the lubricating oil from leaking from the receptacles and oil will be fed in between the leaves from the oil chamber as needed.
. tacles, each of said receptacles having at each end an integral lug formed into a hook, and any oil hole in one end, a continuous strip of packing disposed within each receptacle along the side walls thereof, said packing constituting theinner sidewalls of an oil chamber communicating with said oil hole, and a pair of tension springs adapted to engage the hooks at each end of said oil receptacles, whereby the latter are held against the side edges of a plurality of superposed leaves which form a spring. I
2. In combination with a spring formed of a plurality of superposed leaves secured together, an oil cup comprising a pair of separable tray-shaped oil receptacles, each of said receptacles having at each end an 10 integral lug formed into a hook, and an oil hole in one end, a continuous strip of packing disposed Within each receptacle along the side Walls thereof, said packing constituting the inner side Walls of an oil chamber communicating With said oil hole, and a pair of tension springs adapted to engage the hook at each end of said oil receptacle, whereby the latterare held against the side edges of the superposed leaves in said s ring.
