IJH. RANDALL. Gar Axle Box.

ISAAC H. RANDALL, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CAR-AXLE BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N o. 20 1,944, dated April '2, 1878; application filed October 6, 1877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ISAAC H. RANDALL, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oar-Axle Boxes, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 shows a vertical cross-section of the ear-axle box and axle. Fig. 2 shows a vertical longitudinal section of the axle-box. Fig. 3 shows the bearing-saddle of the box, and Fig. 4 shows the upper lubricating-box and filter.
The objects of my invention are, first, to provide a more convenient and economical manner of lubricating the bearing of the saddle of the box upon the journal of the axle; and, second, to prevent any sidewise slidingmotion of the saddle of the box upon the journal of the axle.
In the drawings, a is the journal of the axle. b is the bearing-saddle of the box. 0 is the upper lubricatingbox and filter. dis a tank for oil. 6 is a wick; f, holes in the bearin g-saddle, to admit the passage of oil through it to the journal of the axle. g is a rib on the journal of the axle, which fits into a corresponding groove, h, in the inner side of the bearing-saddle of the box.
The oil-tank d contains the oil for lubricating the journal of the axle and the inner side of the bearing-saddle of the box. The passage from it, which should be aboutone-quarter inch in diameter, is filled with a wick compressed to a degree of solidity that will admit a flow of oil just sufficient to properly lubricate the journal of the axle and the bearingsaddle. A portion of the wick is coiled in the bottom of the tank, and a portion of it is coiled in a cavity in the upper side of the upper lubricating-box c. The oil, after being conducted by the wick to the cavity in the upper side of the box 0, flows through the holes f to the surface of the journal a; and if the Wick is properly adjusted there will be no saddle, or a similar motion of the bearing-saddle on the journal a, impossible, and prevents the wearing away of the shoulders on the journal and the ends of the bearing-saddle, which occurs with the journal of the axle and the bearing-saddles as heretofore made.
I claim- In a car-axle box, in combination with the outer shell, the perforated bearing-saddle in one or two parts, having a transverse groove on its inner bearing side to receive a corresponding rib on the journal, upon which the bearing-saddle rests, about midway between the shoulders at each end of the journalbearing,and an oil-passage from an oil-tank located on or in the box above the bearing-saddle, so filled with wick or other porous substance that the downward flow of oil will be regulated by it with precision, and an oiltank, all arranged substantially as and for the v purpose specified.
