i This invention relates to means for lubricating roll stands of spinning frames," roving frames and the like,and;provides means, for

lubricating the bearing portions of :amroll 5 stand with a constant and properfiow oflubricant at all times, v J

An object of my invention isto provide 1 means for feeding a constant andiproperly regulated supply oflubricant to'the bearing of roll stands in spinning frames, roving frames and the like, and more especially to a device adapted to be fitted onto the conven- 7 all timesto feed'a constant and proper supply of lubricating material to the roll stand. 9

j YAnother Object of'myinvention isto provide an adjustable plate member having a plurality of tubes mounted therein with i a wooden member mounted in: the bottom of each of the tubesthrough; which the lubricant is; adapted to i seep thru said wooden member being'adapted to ride on top of the- 2 bearing portion of roll stands. i

"Another object of'my invention is tojprovide a platernemb er adapted to be fittedon the' roll stand, said plate memberhaving a i plurality of slidably mounted tubes therein 30 with said tubesbeing clo'sedat their lower ends by a wooden member, through which wooden member a lubricating materialiis adapted to seep, said wooden members being adapted-topless by their own weight against the bearing'portionvof the roll, and thelubricant being adapted to be placed in the tubular members and to seep downwardly through the wooden member and be deposited on the bearing portion of the roll. j

arms

fthefbolts

25 and 26. M j j This structure thusfar described isthe conventional structure in roll stands, but I desire to attach to said-structure my invention which comprising the plate; member which has slidably and adjustably mounted thereon the plate member 31, which has theslots 32and 33 thereimandthe set screws 34 and35 are threadably mountedin the portion 30, so that by means of the slotsand the set screws" the portion 312C311 be adjustedzwith relationito the portion 30. j a ,i is Slidably mounted in the -'portion-30 are thetubula-

r members

37 and 38, andthe memher .31 has 'thetubularmember 39"slidablyj mounted'therein a These members 37 38 andr39' haye the tubular members 40, 41 and 4:2 fixedly mount-- ed therein, which members have the cover members 43, land 451nou'nted thereon, said cover members being adapted to be raised up- 'wardly when alubricant is desiredto be inserted into the

tubular members

37, 38 and I V 39. When these members 48, '44and45 are raised upwardly they strike the projections 50, 51 and: 52 which prevent their being raised any further, so that when the oil can is removed from the oiling operation the

lids

43, and 45 will fall back to closed position.

Fixedly mounted in the bottom of the

tubular members

37, 38 and 39 are the wooden members 53, and 55 through which the lul'iricating material is adapted to seep and be conveyed to the roll portions 13, 14 and 56.

The member 31 has the downwardly and inwardly turned member 60 which is adapted to press against the member 39 so as'to adjust the same as to its position with relation to the member 31 and to cause the portion 55 to fit properly on the front roll stand bearing 56.

It is desired to be noticed that the members 30 and 81 form a straight plate on the bottomside thereof which fit against the members l9 and 20 and form a cover for these members and prevents lint from falling downward into the bearing portion which serves a double purpose, in that it gives a proper lubrication to the roll stand bearing,and prevents lint from falling into the roll stand bearing.

The member 31 has the cut away

portions

63 and 64. which are adaptedto fit over the

members

22 and 23 and prevents the

plates

30 and 31 from sliding downwardly, but holds them in proper position with relation to the roll stand bearings.

In the drawings and specification I have set forth a preferred embodiment of my invention, and although specific terms are employed they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only, and not for purposes of limitation, the scope of the inventionbeing set forth in the appended claims.
