SECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 504,749, dated September 12, 1893.
Application tiled January 3l, 1893. Serial No. 46 0,319. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES W. RENIFF, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Greensburg, in the county of lVestmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Journal for Axles, of which the following is a specification.
Thisinvention relates to j ournais for axles; and it has for its object certain improvements in axles, which are usually employed in connection with mining cars and other similar vehicles, requiring an axle havinga journal not only possessing' exceptional strength but having means for self-lubrication.
To this end the main and primary object is to provide an improved vehicle axle having self-lubricating journals.
`With these and other objects in view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in i the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more fully described, illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings-Figure l is a detail in perspective of a portion of an axle having a cast journal thereon as contemplated by this invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the construction disclosed in Fig. l with the wheel in position on the spindle or journal.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A represents a squared wrought iron axle, having at its opposite ends the metal receiving recesses B, adapted to receive the metal of the cast-iron spindles or journals C, cast thereon.
The spindles or journals C, which are cast on the opposite ends of the axle B, approximate the general shape of ordinary spindles or journals at the ends of axles, and are provided with a set of inner securing iianges D, to which are bolted the bed timbers of the truck or wagon supported thereon. The set of inner securing flanges D, comprise a singie vertical perforated ange, and oppositely projecting horizontal anges disposed at right angles to the vertical flange and lined off flush with the top of the axle A, so that the bed timbers of the truck or wagon nt in the angle formed by said ianges, and may be thus securely bolted in position without axle clips or other fastening devices. The
said spindles or journals C, are cast onto the ends of the wrought iron axle, so that the extremities of the latter project to about the center of the cast spindle or journals, and at which point are formed in said spindles or journals the outer hollow spaced or enlarged oil chambers E, one of the walls of which being formed by the ends of the axle A.
Leading' from the inner extremity of each oil chamber E, is the feeding or distributing passage F, which pierces the bottoni portion of each spindle or journal at the center thereof so as to thoroughly lubricate the wheel G, mounted thereon. The oil chambers E, are kept filled or supplied with a sufcient quantity of oil through the iilling openings H, piercing the upper outer ends of the spindies or journals outside of the wheels G, and communicating with said oil chambers, the disposition of the filling and distributing openings and passages of the oil chambers being such that the oilcan never Waste or run out, as will be readily apparent. The wheels G, are held onto the spindles or journals in the usual manner by means of pins or keys I, holding the usual collars in position, as illustrated in dotted lines.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of a wrought iron axle having metal receiving recesses cut in the top thereof near its ends, and separate hollow spindles or journals cast onto the ends of said axle and into the metal receiving recesses thereof, and provided at their inner en ds'with a set of perforated securing anges comprising a single vertical flange and oppositely projecting horizontal flanges disposed at right angles to the vertical ange and lined off iush with the top of the axle, said cast spindles or journals being projected beyond the extremities of the axle to leave hollow spaces therein, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
CHARLES W. RENIFF.
