'JOURNAL-BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 706,243, dated August 5, 1902. Application filed April 24, 1902. Serial No. 104,526. (No model.)
To all ALf/tom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. LEWIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portsmouth, in the county of Norfolk and State of Virginia, have invented a certain new andv useful Improvement in Journal- Boxes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to axle or journal boxes, andmore especially to such boxes for use in connection with railway-cars; and the object of the invention is to simplify the construction of the box proper, and thereby reduce the cost of producinga journal-box having great lubricating efficiency.
In Patents No. 599,94E4,dated March 1, 1898; No. 615,724, dated December 13, 1898, and No. 654,116, dated July-17, 1900, granted to me and Le Roy C. Godwin, journal-boxes are shown in which the dust-guard is arranged in a pocket formed of the outer rear wall and an inner rear wall and the floor is provided with a ridge'of the shape of an invertedfV, having its rear portions curved and merged in the inner rear wall and the side Walls of the box. In the present invention the inner rear wall and the rear curved portions of the Hoor and side walls, as shown in the patents referred to, are dispensed with and the iioor of the box is constructed with a ridge in the shape of an inverted V, extending longitudinally of the box from the front wall thereof to within a short distance of the rear wall, the space between the said rear wall of the box and the inner vertical surface or end of the inVerted-V-shaped ridge serving, in conjunction with an entrance-slot in the top of the box, as a pocket for the reception of the dust-guard.
Having thus stated the principle of my invention, I will proceed now to describe the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle and then will particularly point out and distinctly claim the part, improvement, or combination which I claim as my invention.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the box, the journal being in elevation. Fig. 2 is a Vtheir sides.
l vertical cross-section taken vin the plane of line A B, Fig. 1, and'looking in the direction of the arrow, the journal being omitted and the dust-guard elevated in its pocket. Fig. 3 is a top plan View, the top of the box being broken out to show the interior of the box, the dust-guard and journal being omitted.
lis the top of the box, 2 is the front wall, 3 is the rear wall, 4 and 5 the side walls, and 6 the journal,all of which may be of any approved construction. p
In carrying out my invention I construct the floor of the box with a ridge 7 in the shape of an inverted V, extending longitudinally of the box from the front wall 2 to within a short distance of the rear wall 3 and with its apex coaxial with the journal. (See Figs. 1 and 3.) Preferably the inverted-V- shaped ridge is integralwith the floor. Pock ets 8 for the reception of' the lubricant and waste-are arranged upon opposite sid es of the ridge, and these pockets extend from the front wall to within a short distance of the rear Wall 3 of the box, having the iioor for their bottoms and the ridge and walls 4: and 5 for A recess 9 is` formed between the rear wall 3 and the inner vertical surface or end of the ridge 7 to receive and retain the though it may be of any usual or approved construction. It will be observed that by this construction the inner rear wall usually employed to form, in conjunction with the outer rear wall, the pocket for the dust-guard in journal-boxes is dispensedV with, the dustguard in this instance being confined in place by the slot 11 in the top ofthe boxand the recess 9, formed by the inner end surface of the ridge 7 and the rear Wall, and by thus dispensing with such inner rear wall a journal-box is produced which is much simplified over previous constructions and is capable of being manufactured less expensively'and much more easily.
The box proper, with its ridged floor and the pocket for retaining the dust-guard, in the preferred form is cast in one piece, although it may be otherwise constructed.
I wish to be understood as not limiting my IOS) l invention to the exact details of construction and its licor constructed with an inverted-V 15 ridge extending'from the front Wall to Within a short distance of the said rear Wall, there being a recess between the rear wall and inner vertical surface or end of the ridge, and a slotted top, said recess, slotted top and rear Wall constituting a pocket for the dust-guard, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 21st day of April, A. D. 1902.
GEORGE W. LEWIS. Vitnesses:
