ECCENTRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters lfatent N o. 710,865, dated October 7, 1902. Application led January S, 192.V Serial No. 88,926. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. HoLLn-N` DER, a citizen of the United States, residing` at Paris, in the county of Lamar and State of Texas,have invented new and useful Improvements in Eccentrics, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to eccentrics, and the device is capable of efficient use in many arts, although not being limited in this re spect.

One advantageous employment of the eccentric is as a means for reciprocating the shakers of a bolting-machine, it being'thus disclosed in my contemporaneously pending application, Serial No. 78,894, filed October 1G, 1901.

The improved eccentric includes a plurality of sections connected together to form a uni-V tary article, and in the present case these sections are integral and are hanged, the flanges serving to prevent lateral motion of straps or like devices used in connection therewith, and one of the flanges is. common to both eccentric-sections. Although any number of eccentric-sections maybe employed, l have simply shown two, this being for convenience.

The multiple eccentric carries an oil or lubricant receptacle, and conduits` are provided for carrying the lubricant tothe peripheries of the respective sections whereby easy running of the parts is assured. 'lhereceptacle for the lubricant may consist of an an-y nular flange suitably fastened to one of the faces of the eccentric and the oil may ow from the same by bores or passages opening into the receptacle and peripheries of the respective sections.

The invention is shown clearly in the ac companying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of a multiplo eccentric including my improvements. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the saine. 4

Like characters refer to like parts in' both thc figures. Y

I desire at this point to state that the invention is not limited to the exact construction shown in said drawings and hereinafter described in detail, for many changes may be made within the scope ofthe claims following this description.

The duplex eccentric is denoted in a general way by 5, and it is shown as having the oppositely-disposed sections 6 and 7 arranged in su perposed order. The eccentric is bored its entire depth, as at 8, to receive a shaft or .similar element, or the said eccentric may be otherwise mounted, and it will be understood that the portions o' and 7 are each eccentric with respect to'such bore S and each in itself constitutes an eccentric and is capable of being'surrounded by a strap or its equivalent.

.Vhile the sections 6 and 7 are shown as one located above the other, this construction being adopted when the eccentric moves about a vertical axis, this is not essential, for they will be otherwise disposed when the eccentric moves about a horizontal or axis oblique thereto. The eccentric is flanged, as at 9,10, and 11,the

`flanges being annular and serving to limit the side play of eccentric-straps that operate in connection with said eccentric, and the intermediate flange 10 is common to both sections 6 and 7. The eccentric is furnished with means for edecting the lubrication of the peripheries of the sections 6 and 7 thereof, and hence the adjacent surfaces of the straps and the lubricant can also pass onto the inner sur Vfaces of the flanges 8, 9, and 10, respectively.

The lubricating means includes a receptacle, as 12, which is shown as consisting of an an nular cup or flange open at the top t0 facilitate the introduction of a lubricant thereinto,

though this arrangement would not be followed where the eccentric turns about a horizontal axis. The receptacle or cup is circularly flanged at its base, as at 13, and screws or analogous means can pass through perforations in such flange and be tapped into what is shown as the topmost ange 11. Conduits, as 14 and 15, are suitably bored or otherwise formed in the body of the eccentric and lead from and open into the receptacle or cup 12, the conduit 15, shown at the right, being shorter than the conduit 14. y rlhese conduits are shown as being angular,'what is represented as the lower branches'being horizontal and opening into the'peripherics of the'sections 6 and 7. The oil supplied to the recep tacle 12 flows therefrom into the open outer or upper ends of the conduits 14 and 15 and passing along the same will flow therefrom and onto the peripheries of the sections (5 and IOC 7, so as to lubricate the latter, and consequently the anges 9, l0, and ll. Naturally the straps encircling said sections G and 7 will beialso lubricated. The anges 9, 10, and ll are shown as being formed in one piece with the sections 6 and 7.

Having described the invention, what I claim is- 1. A multiple eccentric, the sections of which are flanged and one of the flanges being common to two eccentric-sections, an oil'- cup-having a flange fastened to one of the other flanges and conduits leading from said cup to the respective sections.

2. Amultple flanged eccentric having conduits in the body thereof open at their opposite ends the outlets of the conduits being located in the perpheries of the respective inlets being located in the upper face of said f eccentric.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
