WILLIAM A. HARRIS, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN DRIP-COLLECTING DEVICES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,597, dated March 11, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. HARRIS, of the city and county of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in DripOonducting Devices for J ournal-Bearings; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, in connection with the drawing making a part of the same, is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My improvement is specially designed to be applied to the pillow-blocks which support the crank-shaft of a steam engine, but is also equally applicable to any standard or pedestal supportinga journal-bearing.
Figure 1 is a side view of a pillow-block standard for a steam-engine with the conductor attached. Figs. 2 and 3 are views in vertical and transverse section. Fig. 4. is a dripping'pan.
The improvement resides in the peculiar combination, with the side of the pillow-block standard, of a lip, A, located underneath the journal-bearing, and so shaped as to arrest the oil or lubricating material which may work out of the journal and trickle down the side of the standard, and enable it, as collected, to be conducted through a conduit to a suitable receptacle.
In the drawing there is represented a pillow-block standard for the crank-shaft of a steam-engine of common construction. Upon the two faces of the standard 0 lips A are attached, either by forming a part of the casting with the standard, or, if made separate therefrom, the joint with the back faces and the faces of the standard should be packed so as to prevent any oil collected by them from leaking through the joint. These lips, in combination with the faces of the standard, make troughs, which, from their crescent or other equivalent shape, cause all the drippings which are arrested to collect at the lowest point of the troughs. Conductor-pipes a, Fig. 2, lead from the troughs on each side of the pillow-block standard to a box or oilreceptacle, B, which may be located between the walls of the standard, as shown, or at any other convenient place.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the pedestal or standard O, constructed with lip A, to serve as a drip collector and conductor, as described, with tubes to and drip-box B, or other receptacle for the drippings, as specified.
WM. A. HARRIS.
