3Q v saturated with a suitable lubricant in the and has at its opposite end portions supported upon the flanges 13 of ,the brackets and provided with longitudinal slots 18 for the reception of fastenings 19, set into the flanges. Upon the'bridge 17 is supported a packing strip 20, preferably of felt, having transverse end portions 21 projected at opposite sides thereof and supported upon the flanges 13 of the brackets..

It is designed to yieldably support the cellar, and this is carried out by means of a base-plate 22, provided with upstanding tubular posts 23, preferably four in number and arranged in pairs adjacent to the opposite ends of the plate. Helical springs 24. embrace the posts, project above the tops thereof, and are received within sockets 25, opening through the bottom of thecellar and rising into the interior thereof. Suitable guide-pins 26 depend-from the tops of the sockets 25 and telescope within the tubular posts.

AIn' the employment of the device of the present invention the base-plate 22 is placed within the bottom of the journal-box with the springs 2a surrounding the tubular posts 23, after which the cellarl is placed within the journal-box with the guide-pins 26 received within the posts and the entire cellar yieldably supported upon the springs. It will be understood that the cellar is filled with waste usual manner, and the packing-strip 2O takes the lubricant from the waste and wipes the same upon the axle. As the waste and the strip 20 wear the springs 24 automatically take up this wear by elevating the cellar, and thereby maintaining the packing-strip and the waste in intimate contact with the axle. The axle of course bears upon the Babbitt facingstrips 16, and as the cellar is moved upwardly by the spring the journal bearing bracket moves downwardly to accommodate for the upward movement of the cellar. 1t will here be understood ythat the purpose of the set screws 11 is to force the shank portions 12of the bearing-bracket into such frictional contact with the packing-strips 8 as to prevent accidental downward working of the bracket, while permitting of said brackets being forced downwardly under the action of the springs 2a in taking up wear on the waste.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that the device of the present invention is complete in itself and in condition for application to any ordinary journal-box without changing or altering the latter in any manner whatsoever. AFurthermore, the several parts of the device may be conveniently separated and replaced when worn or darnaged, whereby the device may be conveniently maintained in edective working order.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. in a device of the character described, a

spring-supported cellar, and opposite journall bearing brackets carried by the cellar, able independently thereof and projected above the ends of the cellar to support a journal. v

3i. In a device of the character described, a cellar, opposite journal-bearing brackets carried by the cellar, and 'a detachable bridge member connectingr the brackets.

4. As a new article of manufacture, a journal-bearing bracket having an arcuate journal-scat, a Babbitt-metal facing for one portion of the seat, and packing for the other portion of the seat.

5. As a new article of manufacture, a journal-bearing bracket embodying an upright plate forming a shank, a concaved seat at the top of the shank, and a longitudinal. facing of Babbitt metal for one portion of the seat.

6. As a new article of manufacture, a journal-bearing bracket embodying an upright plate forming a sh: nk, the upper edge of the shank being concaved, dished flanges projected at opposite sides `of the upper ledge of the shank, one of the flanges having an outer upstanding rim, and a facing of Babbitt metal fitted at the seat between the rim and the adjacent flange.

7. In a device of the character described, opposite journal-bearing brackets embodying shanks having concaved upper edges, inner and outer dished `flanges at'the concaved edges of the shanks,.a facing of Babbitt metal for each ofthe outer flanges, and a bridge member connected at opposite ends to the inner flanges.

8. `In a device of the character described, a cellar having .opposite transverse sockets,

journal-bearing brackets having Shanks fittedin the sockets, and setscrews piercing the sockets and bearing against the Shanks.

9. 1n a device of thc character described, a cellar having opposite transverse sockets, packing at one of the inner walls of yeach of the sockets, a set-screw piercing the opposite wall of each socket, and a journal-bearing bracket having a shank fitted in each socket andheld against the packing by the set-screw.

10. .in a device of the character described, a cellar having transverse sockets on the inner faces of its end walls, transverse partitions adjacent to the end walls, packing within the sockets, set-screws piercing the partitions, and journal-bearing brackets having shanks fitted between thc partitions and the ends of the ceilar and held against the packing by the set-screws.

1i. ln a device of the character described, the combination of a spring-supported cellar, transverse partitions within the cellar and izo
