THIMBLE-SKEIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 246,115, dated August 23, 1881.
Application filed June 28, 1881.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM 0. FosTER, of Trenton, in the count)7 of Dade and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Thimble-Skeins; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure lis a perspective view ofmyimproved thimble-skein detached from the axle. Fig. 2 is a top view ofthe same with the hinged cap and oil-cup removed, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section through the skein and part of the aXle. Y
Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
My invention contemplates an improved construction ot thimble-skeins for vehicleaxles, as hereinafter more fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the annexed drawings, A is the tapering hollow body ofthe thimble-skein proper, which has a screw-tap, c, at its outer end to receive the nut, and an annular flange or shoulder, b, at its inner end. Back ot' this, and castin one piece with the thilnble, is a sleeve, B, which has a tongue, B', on its under side, and two projecting side wings or ears, B2 B2, which are perforated by bolt-holes c c, said bolt-holes bcing about equidistant from the top and bottom of sleeve B. Upon thetop of the sleeve is cast a bearing, B3, for the hinged cap O, which overlaps the shoulder b and inner part ofthe skein. This cap contains an oil-cup, l), which is closed by a cover, d, hinged in abearing, C', cast upon the cap.
In the sleeve B, below the outlet ot' the oilcup D, is a funnel-shaped cup or receiver, E, from which a duct or channel leads through the body of the sleeve and shoulder b to the oil groove or channel e, which runs longitudinally from the shoulder to the tap a, and has divergent channels or branches ff, for conducting the oil or otherlubricant in under the (Model.)
axle-box and around the sides ot' the thimble, so as to cause it to be distributed evenly all 5o over the body of the same.
In the end of the tongue or extension B is hinged an arm, F, which runs along on the under side of the axle, so that a bolt can be inserted vertically through the arm, axle, hounds, and sand-board. Another bolt (shown at g) is inserted transversely through the axle and bolt-holes c c, and serves to hold the thimble-skein iirmly and rigidly in place.
In operation the projecting outer end ofthe 6o cap O rests upon the hub, the oil-cup D feeding the lubricant automatically and gradually into the receiver E and oil-ducts ef. The pro jectingwings B2 and tongue B brace and strengthen the axle, the outer end of which is shaped to t tightly inside ofthe sleeve B and thimble A, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, in which the letter G represents the axle. It' desired, the ends ot' the stay-chains may be secured in hooks formed in the outer ends ot' the sleeve- 7o bolts g.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters' Patent of the United Statesl. The thimble-skein A B, constructed as described, and provided with the oil-ducts fc and receiver E, and hinged cap C, having oilcup D, provided with the hinged cover d, combined and arranged to operate substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein shown 8o and described.
2. In a thimble-skeiu, the oil-receiver E and its ducts e f, formed in the body ot the skein, in combination with a hinged cap or protector,
C, containingan oil-receptacle adapted to feed 8 5 the lubricant into the iixed receiver E, sul stantially as and for the purpose herein shown and specified. l
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto afxed my signature 9o in presence ot' two witnesses.
WILLIAM O. FOSTER.
