,SPRING-OILIN'G CLIP.

- App1lcatlon' filed September 28, 1926. Serial No. 138,260.

4 This, invention relates to a spring rebound clip and oiler and has special'reference to an improved oiler clip'of theitype shown in myprior Patent No. 1,570,746 issued 'to me" January 26, 1926, for shackle bolt and spring lubricating means. e

One important object of the invention is to so improve the construction of the oiler clip shown in said patent that it mgiy be readily applied to a springwithout' the necessity of disconnecting any part of the A'secorid important objectrrof the invention is to so improve said oile'r; clip that it. may be used with or'without my shackle bolt shown in said patent; a

A thirdimporta'nt object of theinvention is to provide'improved means whereby the clip may be tightly-clamped to the spring With the above and other objects inview' as will be hereinafter apparent, the invention consists'in general of certain novel de tails of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully describedgiillustrated in the accompanying drawings end specifi- Cally claimed.

. In the accompanying drawings like charactors of reference indicate like parts inthe several views" and:

This invention consists of two rincipal parts, a body and a cap and the ho y is provi-Lgd v a base portion 10 from each side of which there extends a le 5 11', said legs being usually, iter the ordinary type of spring, arranged eta-right. angles to the base. Both-{the base and-legs'ere internally channeled so as to receive. a' strip -12 of felt or other suitable oil absorbing c'apilla' mate- .rial. Centrally of the exterior of lite base isvprovided a boss 13, the base and boss hav ing a threaded opening for a set screw: 14: whereon is a jam nut 15. It will be'seen to that the leg portions ofthe felt strip termimate in spaced relation to the legs 11 and thatjust above the ends of said .stri each leg 11 is provided withfa transverse y ex purpose of which will be es I tending slot--16, the presentlyexplained. t The cap is of somewhat similar arrange 1 its-"provided with a, head 21 having" its under fa'ee-s'erratedto row; A face ratchet 22; A The bolt-body 23' isofe oblongform in crossseotion and is at slightly less" size then theopeh-fings- 16 endlsiso that it may;- ess there;

through. Adjacent the bead the ody is res duced to form it cylindrical neckg24 which rests in the openings 16 and 18 atone side rof the neck, the. body being similarly reduced at the end and threaded as at 25 the reduged end resting in the other openings 16 and I 18. The usual nut 26 is provided; for this; bolt. By this means the deviceywhenwassem i bled, maybe caused to grip the sprin tight- 1y since the bolt body may be inserte in P0- sitiitn to lie flat on the spring, and then forcibly roteted to bring the longer diameter of. the body as nearly vertical to the spring as possible, the face clutches engaging to hold it in this position upon tightening of the nut26. v U

The cap is provided with a, suitable itlrireeded opening"- inwhich may bra-screwed an" oil cup 27 01 the end of my oil feed pipe'29.

By thus applying the new clamp-several of the leaves of the spring may be'clamped together to act as auniton the rebound instead" of having to depend on a singlet-leaf w for thispurpose. Moreover,jtl1e'set screw serves, by engagement with aeenter punched or drilled depression in the spring, to prevent slipping of the clip. 1 I

There has thus been provided a simple and efficient device of the kind described and 'It is obvious t at minor changes may be- .made in the form andconstruction of the within thescope claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed'as new, is: 1, In combination, a spring clip adapted to surround a spring, a bolt passing. through. the clip revolubly and having a central eam-' like portion adapted to rest on the spring,

and exert pressure thereon upon rotatlon in one diITGCtIOIhjLIICl'IDGflDS to hold the bolt in rotated pressure applying position.

2.'In combination, a spring clip adaptedto surround aspring, a bolt passingthroughthe clip revolubly and having a central cam like portion adapted to rest on the spring and exert pressure thereon upon rotation in one direction, and means to hold the bolt in rotated pressure applying position, said means including cooperating ratchet devices on the bolt and clip respectively. 3. III'COHIbiIItItlOII, aspriiig clip including a body portion-having an open.. side .and

adapted to engage around three sides of a.

spring, a-cap fitting the open side of the body and adapted .to cover the remaining side of the spring, said body and cap having ali-ned bolt receiving-openings, a bolt passing through said openings to hold thecap on the body-and provided with a central cam like portion adapted to bear against thelast mentioned side of the spring and apply pressure thereto upon rotation, and means- .tively, and a set screw screwed through the to hold the bolt in rotated ing position. v 4.
