Description
` UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
4EDVVABD F. LIGHT, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVED JOU RNAL-BOX.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 57,343, dated August 21, 1866.
, wealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in JournalBoXes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a perspective view of a journal-box with my improvements applied thereto.- Fig. 2 represents a cen-trai longitudinal cross-section on line A B.
To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention belongs to make and use the saine, I will proceed to describe it.
In the drawings, A represents the lower half, aud B the upper half, of ajournal-box with my improvements applied thereto. C and D represent recesses or chambers in the inside of the box, in which cotton or other hrous material is placed.
Upon each side of the lower part, A, of the box inclined planes a at are formed, which in- 'eline toward chamber (J.
A channel or groove, b, extends the entire length of' the box-that is, between the flan ges c c. Screws d d are fitted into the flange c.
E represents the ordinary lining of Babbitt met-al, and F F are openings through which the oil or other lubricating substance is applied.
The object of chambers C and D is, that when they are filled with cotton or other tibrous material, they present to the shaft an anti-friction surface, and at the same time, being filled or saturated with oil, the friction of the shaft upon the cotton or other fibrous matter takes up the oil from the cotton, while any surplus oil passes around with the shaft until it comes to the inclined planes a a, when it returns into chamber C, to be taken up and ap` plied to the shaft in a similar manner as above described.
The fianges at the end of the box, in connection with the fian ges e e and inclined planes a, prevent the oil from escaping, thus avoidin g the waste of oil which takes place with all ordinary journal-boxes.
In applying oil or other'` lubricating substance the groove or channel b may be nearly filled if desired.
A journal-box thus made will retain the oil for a long time, the oil being constantly ap- .A
plied to the shaft when in motion, as above stated.
In case the channel or groove b should ever become filled with dirt, it can be easily cleaned out by removing the screws d (Zand running in a wire or small stick.
Having described my improved journal-box, what I claim therein as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
Making the lower half, A, of ajournal-box with a groove or channel, b, and chamber or recess C, in combination with the upper edges, with inclined planes c, andthe ends with flanges c and e, substantially as set forth.
