HIV/58858 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
STEPHEN A. EISELE, OF SAN ANTONIO, FLORIDA.
TRUCK-BEARING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 560,486, dated May 19, 1896.
I Application filed January 25, 1896. serial No. 576,835. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, STEPHEN A. EISELE, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Pasco and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Truck-Bearings, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective of my improved bearing, its parts being detached. Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing one side in section. Fig. is a sect-ion on line 3 3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section on line i4, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail section on line 5 5, Fig. 3.
My invention relates to-bearings in which the truck-axles are j ournaled and supplied with oil.
The object is to provide a bearing thelower or oil-containing section of which maybe readily slid out of slideways in the upper section to receive a supply of oil even though the trucks are under heavy timbers, as would be the case in sawmills; also to form an inclined or wedge-like joint between the two sections of the hearing, so that when slid in the lower or oil-cup section will be raised up close to the axle.
A further object is to provide such a hearing in which there will be no oil-supply holes to become filled with dust and dirt and in which the oil will be better distributed.
The invention will be first described, and then specifically set forth in the claims.
In the drawings, A is the upper section of the bearing, adapted to be bolted to the lower side of the truck and provided with depending flanges A A, between the upper ends of which is formed a semicircular recess A that receives the upper section B, of Babbitt metal, which is solid or extends from end to end of the said recess. Below this recess A I form longitudinal grooves or slideways A in the inner faces of the flanges A, and the lower walls a of these recesses are inclined from their outer ends upwardly to their inner ends, while the inner ends of the recesses A are provided with inwardly-extending stop lugs or ribs a. The lower sliding section A of the bearing is in the form of a semicylindrical cup, which receives and holds the oil.
the oil-cup is slid inwardly it will be stopped .by lugs a and be raised till the upper faces of the ribs or slides fit close to the upper walls of the slideways or grooves, and a tight dustproof joint will thus be afforded. Thecup is held from sliding outwardly by means of the latches O, which are pivoted to the outer end of the upperbearing-section A and swung down over the outer ends of the ribs or slides a WVhen the latches are swung up, as in dotted lines, by means of their fi.ngerpieces c, the oil-cup may be pulled out by means of its finger-pull c, which depends from the lower side of its outer end. The outer corners of the inner ends of the slides or ribs d are rabbeted, as at a", to receive the stop-lugs a, above described. B B are semicircular pieces of Babbitt metal secured to the ends of the oil-cup A and extending inwardly about onehalf inch toward the center thereof to prevent the oil' from spilling. These pieces of Babbitt metal also closely fit the axle and prevent the entrance of dust to the oil-cup.
It will be seen that the above-described bearing is very simple and inexpensive and that it may be readily supplied with oil by simply sliding the oil-cup outwardly. The oil-cup will be provided with any absorbent filling to conduct the oil to the axle.
hat I claim is 1. A hearing comprising an upper section and a separable lower section, wedge-like interlocking portions being extended in the direction of length of said sections whereby they may be held together substantially as shown and described.
2. A bearing provided with an upper section and a longitudinally-shdable lower oil- 'cup section, a wedge-like slide and slideway being provided by which to connect the two sections, substantially as SGilfOlthp 3. A bearing comprising the upper section having depending flanges provided in their adjacent faces with longitudinal grooves having inclined walls, and a lower oil-containing section provided with longitudinal slides or ribs having inclined slides and slidable in said grooves and means for holding the lower lower sides to correspond with said lower sectionin place, substantially as setforth. walls of the grooves, and means for holding 4. A hearing comprising an upper section, the oil-cup in place, substantially as set forth. 10 having opposed longitudinal grooves the lower walls of which are inclined upwardly from Vitnesses: their outer ends, and the lower slidable oil- JOHN S. FLANAGAN, cup having longitudinal ribs inclined on their CHAS. SUELTENFUSS.
