JAMES J'. HENNESSY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
LUBBICATOR.
Application filed August 30, 1923.
My invention relates to railroad rolling stock and consists in an improved construction of journal box or driving box, or the like, in which a Waste or other lubricant packing container is adapted to be repacked without removal 01 the box from the journal, the objects of my invention being to facilitate the inspection and repacking of the packing container.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a selected embodiment of my invention,
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section through a box, and
Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section through a box, both figures illustrating a portion of the journal to which the lubricator is applied.
The cellar or box 1 resembles the usual construction of such devices and has vertical side walls 2 and vertical end walls 3 and 4. Walls 2 and end walls 3 extend upwardly to a point adjacent to the surface of a journal A to which the box is applied. The end wall 4 is reduced in height so that its top edge 5 is far enough from the journal A to permit the insertion of a mans hand between the same.
Contained Within cellar 1 is a subcellar 6 having vertical walls 7 all of which extend upwardly into approximate contact with the surface of journal A. This subcellar is packed with cotton waste B, or the like, to re tain and evenly distribute lubricant in the usual manner.
Subcellar 6 is much shallower than the in terior of cellar 1 and is mounted in the latter so as to be movable vertically therein. It is yieldingly supported in an elevated position by means of a coil spring 8 which, however, does not prevent the subcellar from being moved to a lower position, indicated in dotted lines, in which the top edge 9 of the wall adjacent cellar wall 4 is lowered to a point approximately even with the top edge 5 of this cellar wall.
Depending from the bottom of cellar 6 are spaced rods 10 which extend through slots 11 in the bottom wall of cellar 1 and are preferably connected exteriorly of the cellar by a handle 12 which affords easy means for lower- Side Serial No. 860,117.
ing the subcellar so as to lnterior.
I prefer to provide each of rods 10 with a lug or hook 13and to provide the cellar bottom through which the rod passes with a surface 14 adapted to engage hooks 13 so as to retain the subcellar in lowered position without the necessity of maintaining the downward pull on handle 12. It will be noted that rods 10 besides affordlng means for pulling the subcellar downwardly in the cellar, also guide the cellar in its vertical movement.
With this construction, it is but a few moments work to lower the subcellar and re new the packing therein. Jaoking up of the journal or removal of the cellar from the driving box or other disassembly of the associated parts is eliminated.
Obviously, the arrangement of the subcellar supporting element and the guiding arms and handle, as well as other details, may be modified without departing from the spirit of my invention, the scope of which is expressed in the appended claim.
I claim:
In a journal lubricator, a cellar having side and end walls, a pan-like sub-cellar in said cellar and including side and end walls, said sub-cellar being movable vertically in said cellar, a spring in said cellar normally hold-- ing said sub-cellar in elevated position, one of the walls of said cellar being reduced in height to permit access over the same to the packing in said sub-cellar when the latter is lowered, spaced rods pivotally connected to said sub-cellar extending through the bottom of said cellar, a handle between said rods below said cellar whereby said sub-cellar may be manually lowered, there being downwardly and upwardly, facing surfaces on said cellar and rods, respectively, adapted to engage each other on lateral movement of said handle and the lower portion of said rod whereby said sub-cellar may be held in lowered position.
In testimony whereof I hereunto atlix my signature this 15th day or" August, 1923.
