WILLIAM H. BOWEN, OF LINCOLN, RHODE ISLAND.

LUBRICATO R.

I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 270,626, dated January 16, 1883,

Application filed November 10, 1882.

ford facilities for the proper adjustment of the feed.

As will be seen on reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectionof the lubricator. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section, and Fig. 3 a plan of base with glass removed.

A is a reservoir for oil; B, a reservoir for water. 0 and D are tubes connecting the base G with reservoir A, of which D is used to conduct the oil from reservoir A to waterieservcir B, into which it flows by force of gravity, and, risingthrough the water in drops, overflows intopipe E, and thence through passage F to thejournal.

The following description will explain its construction and manner of operatin G is the base, made of suitable metal. lts lower part, H, is threaded to a shoulder, which allows it to be screwedfirmly to a hearing. The upper part is also threaded to a shoulder to receive the metal ring J, having a milled circumference, and into which the glass at is securely cemented.

K represents packing of any suitable material.

L is a nipple for contracting the passage M, which facilitates the formation of drops when oil is admitted. This is screwed into the base, as is also the overflow-pipe E, which has a milled band, N, for convenience in turning same, and which forms a shoulder for the thread.

(No model.)

0 and O are plugs, necessitated by the construction.

G and I) are tubes screwed into base, having both right-hand or both left-hand threads, thus forming a perfectly-reliable support to the parts above.

P and P are clamps screwed onto tubes 0 and D, and holding the bottom piece, Q, of the oil-reservoir. They are fitted with nuts .R and It and packing S. The clamps are tapped to receive the screw-tube 'l and valvecylinder T, which serve, with screw-tubes U and U, to connect the top and bottom of reservoir A, as shown. The cylinder '1" is slotted at V to admit the oil, the flow of which is reg ulated by the piston-valve W, havinga milled head and raised thread to fit the nut'X, as shown.

X is a check-nut with milled edge.

-Y is a screw-plug for closing the oil-reservoir.

Y is packing of cork orother suitable material.

Z is the side casing of reservoir, preferably of glass of suitable thickness.

Any water that may-escape from water-reservoir may be replaced at any time by pouring directly into the oil-reservoir, whence it will fall to the level-of the overflow-pipe E, all superfluous water running over into'the bearing.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, in a journal-lubricator, of a reservoir for oil, A, situated above a glass reservoir of water, B, and connected to it by tube D, and a piston-valve, W, bywhich theflow of oil may be regulated, substantially as set forth.
