AUGUST FREDRICKSON, OF MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI, ASSIGNOR TO JOHN A. LEIVIS, OE SAME PLACE.
HANGER FOR JOURNALS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,44=O, dated September 6, 1898.
Application filed April 22, 1898. Serial No. 678,508, (No model.)
' T0 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, AUGUST FREDRIOKSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Meridian, inthe county of Lauderdale and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hangers for J ournals and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in hangers for supporting journals, and more" tion and its supporting-hanger, and Fig. 3
represents a cross-section on the line 1 1 of Fig. 1.
My improved hanger is adapted to support all sorts of journals, but is more particularly adapted for use upon conveyers, and particu-,
larly that class of conveyers known as spiral or screw conveyers. In constructing a hanger for a screw conveyer it is desirable to have one which can be mounted at any point along the length of the conveyer-trough and can be interchangeably mounted upon either side thereof. Myimproved hanger is particularly well adapted for such uses, and in carrying out these functions I construct the hanger A with a supporting-flan ge, as a, the said supporting-flange being provided with an overhanging lip, as a, adapted to fit over the upper edge of one of the sides of the conveyertrough B, as clearly seen in Fig. 1 of the draw ings. A lag or other suitablescrew, as 0. may be passed through the flange a and into the side of the conveyer trough Bto prevent the hanger being accidentally displaced. The body portion of the hanger A extends downwardly, preferably in a diagonal direction,
and has a bearing-face, as at a adapted to rest against the side of the'conveyer. The lower part of the said bearing portion may be broadened to give it a still further bearing upon'the trough, as at a a Upon the lower portion of the hanger is formed a journalbearing, as at a the said journal-bearing being adapted to extendmore than half-way around the journal. The lower face of the said journal-bearing is preferably provided with a Babbitt or other soft metal lining, as at a", to receive the wear of the journal 0 of the conveyer O. The free end of-the bearing a is preferably bifurcated, as at M, and adapted to receive between it'a hinging-lug, as e, of the cap E. The cap E is formed with a curved under surface, as at 6, adapted to fit upon the top of the journal, and is also provided with a beveled face, as at 6 adapted to fit against the inclined surface of the body portion of the hanger. .The shape and arrangement of the cap will have the effect of causing anyforeign substances-' such as sand, dust, &c.to slide off into the material being conveyed instead of going into the joints of the cap. In the beveled under face 6 of the cap is formed an oil-channel, as a extending the entire length of the beveled portion and open at the ends, so that oil introduced at the upper end of said channel will be directedto the journal of the conveyer. This forms a covered oil-passage,'so that grit and dirt are not liable to get into the same. In order to protect the upper open end of the said journal, an overhanging lug, as a is formed upon the body portion of the hanger A and projects out beyond the upper end of the cap E. Sufficient room may bele ft between the overhanging luga and'the open .end of the channel'e to permit of the insertion of the spout'of'an oil-can, so that oil can be readily applied-"at any time. If desired, the lug may be provided with a passage of,
leading to' the 'oil channel e in the cap, and
. the material conveyed, the direction of the ing to the position of the journals to be supported, and it will also be seen that this hanger can be interchangeably placed upon either side of the said conveyer. It will be seen also that no other fastening to the conveyerbox is needed except the lag-screw, as shown in the drawings.
Great advantage accrues from the arrangement of the journal-bearing and the cap therefor. The hinged cap holds the journal in place without any other fastening and can be raised and the conveyer cleaned of strings or other foreign substances while the conveyer is still in motion. There are no bolts or nuts to get loose or lugs to obstruct. In the case of any hard substances passing under the journal in the hanger the conveyer will raise the cap, and breakage of any kind will thus be obviated. It will be observed that the cap will be held in place by the material being fed in addition to its own weight. It will also be apparent that the covered oil-channel under the cap not only allows of free access for oiling the journal, but cannot be clogged with dirt.
Having now described my invention, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a hanger for conveyers, the combination with a supporting body portion, of a j ournal-bearin g adapted to partially surround the journal, and a cap hinged to the said hanger having inclined upper faces and adapted to cover the remainder of the journal, the construction being such thatthe hinged cap will be kept in place over the'journal by the material conveyed in addition to its own weight and will prevent the clogging of said material upon the hanger, substantially as described.
2. In ahanger for journals, the combination with a body portion having an upper attaching-flange, of a journal-bearing in its lower end, and a cap hinged to the said bearing and adapted to completely inclose the journal, the said cap being provided with an oil-channel for directing the oil to the bearing, and the weight of the cap being so disposed as to hold the same closed, substantially as described.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a j ournal-hanger having an attaching-flange at its upper end, a journal-bearing formed at its lower end, and a pivoted cap hinged to the said journal-bearing for covering the top of the journal, the construction being such that journal, and the weight of the cap will hold the cap in place, substantially as described.
4. As a new article of manufacture, a journal-hanger provided with an overhanging attaching portion at its upper end whereby it may be interchangeably placed upon either side of a conveyer or other support according to the direction the conveyer or shaft is run, a journal-bearing formed at its lower end, a hinged cap for covering the journal, the free end of the said hinged cap being provided with a covered oil-channel, and a lug formed upon the hanger for overhanging the open end of the said channel to further protect it from dirt and grit, substantially as described.
5. In a hanger for conveyers, the combination with a body portion having a bearingsurface for resting against the side of the conveyer, an attaching-flange for engaging the top of the said conveyer, an overhanging lip formed on the said flange for further securing the said conveyer in place, a bearing formed in the lower end of the said hanger, a cap hinged to the said bearing for covering the journal, having a beveled face for fitting against the body portion of the said hanger, the said cap being provided with an oil-channel in the said beveled face, and an overhanging lug formed upon the hanger for protecting the upper open end of the said channel, and having no bolts, nuts or other loose parts, substantially as described.
6. In a hanger for conveyers, the combination with a body portion having an upper attaching-flange, of a journal-bearing in its lower end, a cap hinged to said bearing and adapted to completely inclose the journal, the said cap being provided with a lubricantchannel upon its under face for directing the lubricant to the bearing, the weight of the cap being so disposed as to hold the same normally closed and a lug formed upon the hinge for overhanging the open end of the said channel, which will protect it from the entrance of dirt and grit, and a grease-cup secured in said lug for supplying lubricant to the journal, substantially as described.
7. In a conveyer, the combination with a suitable screw, of a hanger for supporting the same comprising a supporting body portion, a journal-bearing adapted to partially surround the journal and a cap hinged to the said hanger and adapted to fold back so as to cover the remainder of the journal, the construction being such that the hinged cap will be kept in place over the journal by the material passing in the conveyer in addition to its own weight, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
AUGUST FREDRIOKSON.
