VCAR-AXLE JOURNAL-BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming pari', 0f LettelS Patent NO. 599,944, dated. March 1, 1898.
Application led November 16, 1896. Serial No. 612,345. (No model.) i
To @ZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that we, GEORGE W. LEWIS and LE ROY C. GODWIN, citizens of the United States, residing at Portsmouth, in the county of Norfolk and State of Virginia, have invented a new and useful Oar-Axle Journal- Box, of which the following is a speciiication.
Our invention relates to car-axle journalboxes, and has for its object to provide an improved construction and' arrangement of parts, whereby the packing or waste is held positively in contact with the surface of the car-axle journal to insure the constant application of the lubricant thereto.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description, and thel novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of our in, vention, showing the journal-box detached from the usual pedestal and contiguous supporting devices. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section. Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section. Fig. 5 is a detail longitudinal section of a portion of the journal-box with the axle-spindle omitted.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates a journal-box embodying our invention, having a centrally-raised or longitudinally-rid ged bottom or iioor of hollow construction to form an oil-receptacle 2, the ridge or apex of said floor being arranged longitudinally of the box to provide lateral oil-receivin g depressions upon opposite sides thereof in which the lubricating material may be stored for subsequent` absorption by the packing or waste. The side walls of the journalbox are contracted or converged inwardly, as shown at 5, to compress the packing or waste around the axle-journal 6, contiguous to the dust-collar 7, which is arranged at the inner end of the box. This collar is preferably provided in its lower side with a collecting-groove 8, designed to catch lubricating material which is carried out of the journal-box by means of the axle-journal, said collecting-groove 8 comend, which is closed by the journal-box cover 6o 11, we employ an outlet-port l2, communicating with the said receptacle and provided with a valve 13.
VThe exterior of the journal-box, which is illustrated in the drawings, is provided with the usual transverse equalizing-bar seat 14: and the vertical side guides 15.
From the above description it will be understood that the centrally-ridged floor of the journal-box is arranged at its apex contiguous to the under side of the axle-journal and therefore holds the waste or packing in contact with the journal at that point, while the depressed or declined surfaces upon opposite sides of the ridge form chambers adapted to contain the requisite amount of lubricant in which the portions of the waste or packing upon opposite sides of the ridge are submerged to insure the conveying of the same to the surface of the journal. Above the journal are shown the usual journal-bearing 16 and journal-bearing key 17.
Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spiritl or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having described our invention, what we claim is- 1. A journal-box having an imperforate longitudinally-ridged iioor, of which the uppermost portion is upon a central longitudinal line arranged midway between the sidel walls and parallel with the axle-journal, and from which central line the floor declines in opposite directions to its points of intersection with the side walls to form depressed oilreceptacles upon opposite sides of the central ridge, whereby packing or waste arranged on the iioor of the box and extending transversely across the central ridge thereof is submerged at its side portions in the contents of the de- IOO pressed oil-receptacles, and is held at an in- In testimony that We claim the foregoing as terlnediate point in Contact with the under oui` own We have hereto afxed our slgnatures 1o side of the axle-journalbythe ridge, substanin lhe presence of two Witnesses.
tially as speeiiied. GEORGE WV. LEWIS. 5 2. A j ournal-box hzwnga cross-seetionally- LE ROY C. GODWIN.
