OIL-CUP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 632,129, dated August 29, 1899.
Application filed March 9, 1898. Serial No. 673,197. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES J. LANAHAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cups, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improved oileup chiefly adapted for use upon the rollingstock of railways; and the object is to, provide a cup from which the cover or cap can be easily and quickly removed and replaced, but cannot be shaken or jarred involuntarily therefrom. The usual devices now in use either employ a cap which fits snugly over the mouth of the cup or which screws over Said mouth.
Withthe first above-mentioned device the mere dropping of the cap upon the ground is extremely liable to dent it sufficiently to prevent its fitting over the mouth of the cup, and a cap of this nature is easily shaken loose and lost. The screw-threaded cap is more expensive to manufacture, the thread is easily distorted by the rough usage incident to every railway, and even though it be screwed very tightly in place the continual jarring and rattling must in time cause it to work loose and drop from the cup. Vith my improved device these disadvantages are all eliminated, as the dropping of the cover would not be likely to injure or dent the spring portions, and the coveris always held within the mouth of the cup with a spring force, thus preventing the jar or rattle from shaking it loose.
My invention will be fully and clearly hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in whichf Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved oil-cup, showing the cap in place thereon. Fig. 2 represents a vertical central section through an oil-cup and cap, showing the invention and a slightly-modified form of oil-cup. Fig. 3 represents a det-ached side elevation of the cap. Fig. .Lrepresents a top plan view of the oil-cup shown in Fig. l.
Referring to the drawings in detail, l represents the body of the oil-cup, which may be made in any suitable form or shape. It is provided with the usual opening 2 for the oil to pass through and may have the usual means for limiting the ilow ofoil, if desired.
The top of the rim of the oil-cup is provided with an interior inward-extending rib 3. (Shown in Fig. 3.)
The top 4 of the cover or cap is provided with a milled or roughened edge to facilitate its handling, and a series of spring members 5 extend substantially vertically downward from a circle upon the under surface of said top. These members 5 are all provided with a shallow exterior depression or groove 6, terminating at the lower end in the rib 7, substantially as shown in Fig. 3, and when the cap is forced or sprung into the mouth of the cup the rib 3 on the interior of the cup end gages in the exterior depression 6in the members, and the ribbed lower ends 7 of said members fitting against the incline at the termination of the rib 3 hold the cap or cover within the mouth of the cup with a spring force and prevent its involuntary displacement therefrom by jarring, as is usual with the loosely-htted or screwed-over cap.
It might prove advisable in manufacturing to t the cover or cap over instead of into the mouth of the cup, or provide the cup with a spring portion instead of the cover or cap.
I claim as my invention- The combination with an oil-cup provided with an interior inwardly-extending rib, of a cover or cap having a series of spring mem bers adapted to fit in the mouth of said cup and having exterior depressions iitting over the rib of the cup, substantially as described.
JAMES J. LANAHAN.
