EDWARD WHITELEY, OF LOGKVVOOD, NEAR HUDDERSFIELD, COUNTY OF YORK, ENGLAND.
LUBRICATING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,479, dated November 6, 1888.
Application filed July 31, 1888. Serial No. 281,515. (No model.) Patented in England December 31, 1884, No. 17,064.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD WnrrnLnY, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of Lockwood, near Huddersfield,
Yorkshire, England, have invented certain Improvements in Lubricating Devices, (for which I have been granted a patent in Great Britain, No. 17,064, dated December 31, 1884,) of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of lubricating devices for the journals of rotating shafts and the like wherein the rotating shaft or part is provided with a centrifugal lifter adapted to receive the oil that drips from the journal, to lift it above the level of same, and
supply it again thereto, thus effecting a continuous supply.
The object of my invention is to improve this kind of lubricating device in such a man ?0 ner that it shall strain or filter the oil automatically and separate therefrom all foreign matter before the oil is again supplied to the journal. The oil-receiver below the journal is also so arranged as to be easy of access for :5 cleaning, &C.
My invention will be described hereinafter, and its novel features carefully defined in the claim.
In the drawing which serves to illustrate my invention the view shows a lubricating device embodying my invent-ion as applied to the bearing of a shaft, all the parts but the shaft being represented in vertical sections.
A represents a shaft mounted to rotate in 3 5 brasses B B in a bearing, 0, on a bracket, D,
in the usual manner. The purpose of my device is to lubricate the journal of such a shaft where it rotates iuthe bearing.
E is a device I will call a centrifugal lift 40 er, as its function is to raise the oil or lubricant from a point below to a point above the bearing. This lifter consists of a circular saucer-like receptacle mounted on and fixed securely to the shaft or rotating part and set concentric therewith. It has an internal peripheral receptacle, a, in which the oil is held, the latter being thrown out into said receptacle by centrifugal force when the shaft revolves. The oil is taken from the upper side of the lifter by a stripper or tube, H,which is fixed to some part of the shaft-bearing. At one end this tube enters the receptacle a of V the lifter and receives the oil therefrom, and at its other or lower end it is arranged to supply the oil to the top of the journal. of the shaft 5 5 in the bearing. The oil flows or drips from the bearing down into a suitable receptacle, G, and is led from this receptacle to the lower side of the lifter E by means of a tube or conduit, F.
I provide for automatically filtering or straining the oil as it drips from the journal into the open receptacle G by covering said receptacle with a strainer, I, of some foraminous material.
The oil may be primarily introduced into the receptacle G and fresh supplies may be introduced thereat. However, the upper part or cap of the bearing may be provided with an oil cup or reservoir of an ordinary pattern and the oil be led into this cup by the con duit H.
The centrifugal lifter E may be made in halves for convenience of mounting it on the shaft, and these halves may be secured to gether by means of lugs and screws, as indicated at e in the drawing.
The receptacle G is easily accessible, and any foreign matter collected on the strainer I may be removed from time to time as it accu- 8o mulates.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- The cornbination,with the shaft A, the saucer-like lifter E, fixed thereon, and the fixed stripper or tube H, which leads the oil from the upper part of said lifter to the top of the journal, of the open receptacle G, arranged under the j ournal and provided with astrainer,
1, covering its top, and the conduit F, leading 0 from said receptacle Gbelow the strainer to the lower part of said lifter, whereby the oil which drips from the journal is strained before being returned thereto, as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed 5 my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDWARD WHITELEY.
