FRANK FEHR, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
DEVICE FOR LUBRICATING JOURNAL-BOXES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 546,659, dated September 24, 1895.
Application filed June 29, 1895.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK FEHR, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Lubricating Journal-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a novel construction in devices for lubricating journal-boxes, the object being to provide a device of this character of simple and durable construction and efficient operation; and it consists in the features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and specifically claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, Figure l is a transverse section of a device constructed in accordance with my invention, taken on the line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of same, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Referring now to said drawings, A indicates a shaft running in a bearing 1. For convenience in illustrating I have shown said bearing fixed in a hanger 2. Said bearing 1 is provided with openings 3 and 4, through which the same is lubricated, and with openings 5 and 6, through which any excessive quantity of such lubricant leaves the same. Secured to said bearing 1, at one end of the same and overlapping said opening 4, is acasin g 7, which extends a short distance beyond the end of said bearing. Said casing 7 is preferably provided with a hinged cover 8 of semicylindrical shape, which is adapted to be held down upon said casing by any suitable locking device 9. Secured to said shaft A, adjacent said bearing 1 and Within said casing 7, is a brush 10, which revolves with said shaft and dips into the oil in said casing 7 at every revolution and .carries the same upwardly to devices secured to said cover 8, which deliver it into said bearing 1. Said devices consist of a series of parallel wires 11, situated near enough to each other to hold the oil between them. Said wires slope downwardly from the point at which the oil is delivered to them and deliver said oil into the opening 4:. After having delivered a Serial No. 4,513. (No model.)
portion of the oil held thereby, said brush 1O strikes the edge of a trough 12, secured to said cover 8, and delivers some oil into the same, which runs thence into the tube 13, secured to said cover 8, and is delivered through the mouthpiece 14 at the end of same into the opening 3. Said mouthpiece 14: is provided with a flange 15, which covers said opening 3 to prevent the entrance of dust. My device would obviously feed more oil into the bearings than the same required, and to prevent Waste I have provided devices to catch the superfluous oil dropping through said openings 5 and 6. Secured to said casing 7 is a tube 16, which extends to a point adjacent said opening 5 and is provided with a mouthpiece 17, which is situated beneath said opening 5 and is adapted to receive any oil dropping through said opening 5, said oil being led thence back to said casing 7 through said tube 16. The oil dropping through said opening 6 will obviously drop directly back into the cas ing.
It will of course be understood that I do not Wish to be limited to the use of the devices to collect the oil from the brush, as above described, as other devices could obviously be employed; nor do I wish to be limited to the use of any particular kind of brush, as many kinds could, of course, be employed.
I claim as my invention A device for lubricating journal boxes, consisting of a casing adapted to hold oil secured to said journal box at one end thereof, devices secured in the upper portion of said casing adapted to receive oil and-deliver the same to different openings in said journal box, a brush secured to the shaft and revolving within said casing adapted to feed oil to said receiving devices, and a device secured to said casing adapted to receive oil dripping from said j ournal box and lead same back to said casing consisting of a tube having its free end beneath an opening in saidjournal box and opening at its other end into said casing, substantially as described.
In testimony-whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
, FRANK FEI-IR.
