JOHN E. GILL, OF FRANKLIN, PENNSYLVANIA.
CAR-AXLE l UBRlCATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,030, dated May 27, 1902. Application filed August 3,1901. Serial No. 70,760. (No model.)
To all whom may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN E. GILL, a citizen of the United States, residingat Franklin, in the county of Venango and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Axle Lnbricators, of
pense with the use of wicks or similar devices for supplying oil by capillary action from an oil-reservoir to the lubricating-pad which is held in immediate contact with the carjournal.
These and such other objects as may here: inafter appear are attained by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in
whicl1-- Figure 1 is a horizontal sectional View on the line 1 l of Fig. 2 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows. Fig. 2 is a crosssectional View of an axle-box and journal fitted with the preferred form of my device on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail of my device detached from the journal-box.
Like letters of reference indicate the same parts in the several figures of thedrawings.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A indicates a journal-box containing the car-journal B, upon which rests the bearing 0. Arranged within the j on rnal-box is an oil-receptacle and pad-support D, which is provided with one or more supply-tubes E. These supply-tubes are arranged to project through openings a in the sideof the journalbox and preferably in such a manner as to also serve as a means for-supporting the oilreceptacle D adjacent to the journal B.
Within the oil-receptacle D is fitted the lubricating-pad F, which rests upon a spring G, by means of which the pad is held constantly but yieldingly against the surface of the car-journal. The oiltubes E are provided at their outer ends with suitable caps e.
In assembling my device the spring G and lubricating-pad F are placed within the oilreceptacle D, which is then inserted through theusual end opening in the journal-box and is heldin position adjacent to the journal B while the oil-tubes E are inserted through the openings a, and attached to the oil-receptacle D. The oil-receptacle is then supplied with oil through the oil-tubes E, the caps e are attached, and the device is ready for use.
myself to these precise features of construc- 7 tion, as, obviously, the oil-supply tubes need not necessarily constitute the supporting means, and so likewise thelubricating-pad and its supporting-spring may be varied, both as to form and number, without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described myinvention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure byELetters Patent, is.
1. The combination with a car-journal, of a journal-box, an oil receptacle, means extending loosely through the side of the journal-box for supporting said oil-receptacle, and means for conveying oil from said receptacle to the car-journal, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a car-journal, of a journal-box, an oil-receptacle, means extending loosely through the side or the journal-box for supporting said oil-receptacle adjacent to the car-journal, a lubricating-pad within said oil-receptacle, andmeans interposed between said pad and the bottom of said oil-receptacle for holding said pad in yielding contact with the car-journal, substantially as described.
3. The combination with a car-journal, of
a journal-box,an oil-receptacle,means for sup-' rality of supply and supporting pipes extending from said oil-receptacle through one side of said journal-box, a lubricating-pad carried by said oil-receptacle, and means for holding said pad in co ntact with the car-journal, substantially as described.
