PAUL XV. LEFFLER, OF GRINNELL, IOWA, ASSIGNOR TO CRAVER, STEEE, &
ASTIN, OF SAME PLAOE.
OIL-CUP.
' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,662, dated September 22, 1885. Application filed August 5, 1885. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PAUL W. LEFFLER, of Grinncll, Poweshiek county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvcments in Oil-Oups to be Attached to the Journal- Boxes of a Mowing-Machine, and for other purposes where an oil-cup is required.
The following is a full and complete specification, reference being had to the accompanying' drawings, in which- Figure l is aperspective view of the oil-cup with lid attached and partly raised, but the cup is shown removed from the journal-box. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the lower part of the cup. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the lid of the cup. Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the lower part of oil-cup. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the oil-cup attached to a journal-box. Fig. 6 is a cross-section of the oil-cup attached to a Fig. 7 is a view of a portion of the back of the lower part of the oil-cup, showing notch to permit of the insertion of the lid and smaller notches for swaging. Fig. 8 is a view of the same portion with the notch partly closed by swaging for the purpose of preventing the lid being removed.
The object of my invention is to supply an oil-cup of simple, strong, and durable construction, not liable to get out of order, and capable of being easily and securely attached to thejournal-box of the axle to be oiled.
The oil-cup which I have invented to meet these requirements consists of two pieces-a cup and a hinged cover or lid. The cup is a hollow open-top cylinder having a hole in the bottomv for the escape of oil, and upon each side of the hole downward-projecting dovetailed-shaped lugs, so placed that their outer faces are Vertical and parallel, the inner faces sloping toward each other. To this cup is hinged by a hinge of peculiar construction a round fianged lid., The hinge consists of a staple-like portion forming part of the body of the cup and a hook forming the back of the lid. Upon this hook is a lug, which acts to prevent the lid being thrown too far back or removed when the small notch in the edge of the back of the cup is closed or partly closed by swaging.
A is the axle; B, the journal-box; O, an
open space in the journal-box. cup; E, the lid of the oil-cup.
The oil-cup consists of a body, D,`having a sta-pleshaped portion, d, on oneside. This is to act as a hinge. At cl2 the side curve is slightly hollowed to allow the hook of the lid to slip over. A rectangular hole, di, is made in the bottom, and upon each side of this are' dovetailedshaped lugs dflwhich projectdownward, with their inner faoes sloping toward each other,while their outer faces are Vertical and parallel. The under surrace of the cup is shown sloping, the form to fit over a round box; but of course this part may be varied, according to the shape of the beams to which they are to be attached.
The lid E consists of a circular piece of metal having a fiange or rim around the edge and a small rectangular portion, e, bent into the form of an upward eurving hook, 62, (shown in Fig. 5,) in side elevatiou. Asmall lug, ca, acts as a stop to prevent the lid being thrown back far enough to permit it to be removed, the stop being against the side of the cup when the small notch al is closed,or nearly closed,byswaging the metal together. To aid in this operation,a smallernotch is made upon each side of d5 to catch the tool.
The method of attaching this invention to a journal-box is as follows: A square or rectangular hole is 'cut in the upper part of the journal-box through to the open part or axle. Two of the sides of this rccess in the journalbox are' made with flat faces b 'b to slope, so that the lower part of the opening is wider than the upper part. The bottom of the cup is made to fit the top of the journal-box, and the cup is driven into place. A tool is then driven in, spreading the lugs until they fit against the sides of the openingin the journalbox, leaving a vertical-faced opening for the oil and securely holding the cup in place. The hook of the cover is now slipped over the hinge part of the cup, the cover being upside down, the outer edge of the hook passing through the small depression marked d* on Fig. 2,and the motion being horizont'al in the direction of the arrow. The cover is turned to a Vertical position, and by a cold-chisel or other suitable tool the notch d closed. The loo D is the oillug 83, then pressing against the back of the cup, prevents the lid being thrown much back of the Vertical, and, as it cannot be removed except when in an inverted horizontal position, it is secured from accidental displacement.
V The'cup is used in the ordinary manner,and
forms at once a cheap, easily-'attached,' and strong cup. The hinge is strong, and has no pin or other loose parts, and there are butx two pieces to the whole oil-cup.
The dovetailed 1ugs,which form a principal feature of the invention, secure thecup very firmly to the journal-box;l i
Having now fully described my-invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-.--`` a i I 1. An oilcupv having upon the vbottom thereof two dovetailed-shaped lugs so a placed that their Louter faces are paralleland adapted to be spread after insertion in the dovetailed hole in the j ournal-box by the use of a suitable tool lsol as` to hold the cup .securely in place, substantially as shown and described. .o 2. An oil-cup provided witha lid hinged t y it means of a staple, d, forming part of the cup, and consisting of a round'portion, d, and two arms, by which it is attached tothe cup, one of the said arms, d, being grooved to permit of the insertion of the hook of the lid and a hook, e, forming part of the lid E, its openring being of less diameter than the diameter of the staple at d, and' further provided with a lug, e, to prevent the removal of the lid after a notch, dB, in the body of the cup has been closed, all substantially as shown and described.
i 8. An oil-cup having upon the bottom thereof two dovetailed-sha'ped lugs with parallel outer faces, in combination with a lid hinged `to the cup by means of a hook upon the lid
