GEORGE HENRY GARNET, 'OF ALLENTOVVN, PENNSYLVANIA.

FLOOR-OILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Lettersiatent No. 769,341, dated September 6, 1904.

Application filed March 22, 1"9 04 To all] whom it may concern; I

. Be it known that I, GEORGE HENRY GARNET, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allentown, in the county of Lehigh and'State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Im provements in Floor-Oilers; and I do hereby declare the following'to be a full, clear,

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I

This invention relates to apparatus for applying oil or other liquids to floors; and it con' sists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the floor-oiler. Fig. 2is a cross-section taken on the line as n in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 1s a plan v1ew from below with the" oiling-pad removed.

A is a reservoir for oil or other liquid of any approved construction.

B is ascrew-cap for closing the opening through which the liquid is poured into the reservoir. 5, which projects upwardly from the top of the reservoir.

C is a chamber for the air-valve at the top of the cap B, which is provided with one or more air-holes c in its periphery.

D is an air-pipe which depends from thetop ofthe cap within the nozzle Z) and which has a valve-seat cl at itstop within the valve-- chamber.

E is the air-valve, which isscrewed into thechamber G and which has a milled head e at its,

tom g of the oil-reservoir A, and H is an airchamber between the reservoir A and the oil- The oiling-plate is provided with holes or perforations/r, and I is an oilused.

The cap is screwed onto a nozzle Serial No- 199,487. (N0 model.)

and thepad is formed of any suitable soft material, such as felt, but pile-fabric carpet or other soft .andporous material may be J--is an;oil-trap which depends from the bottom of the reservoir within the air-chamber H. This oil-trap has a screw-stopper] at its bottom, which can be removed through one of the holes in the oiling-plate when the oiling-padis taken off, so that the oil-trap can be cleaned out. The oil-trap has an internal oil-pipe e', which is connected to the oil-reservoir and which projects downwardly within the oil-trap nearly into contact with its stopper.

K represents distributing-pipes for the oil, which are connected to the upper part of the oil-trap below the bottom of the oil-reservoir. These distributing-pipes preferably project through holes in the ends of the air-chamber and are provided with screw-stoppers k, so that they can be cleaned out. The distributing-pipes have. oil holes or nozzles m on their under sides for discharging the oil onto the oiling-pad through the openings of the-oilingplate.

M is a handle by means of which the device is pushedaloout in contact with the floor.

When the air-valve is opened to a prearranged extent, the oil is fed regularly onto the oiling-pad and the feed of oil is cut off by closing the air-valve.

The function of the oil-trap is to form an oil seal for the pipe e, so that no air can pass upward from the chamber H into the reser- 2. In a floor-oiler, the combination, with a reservoir provided with anair-valve, of an oil-trap at the lower part of the reservoir, an oiling-plate secured below the said reservoir and oil-trap, an oiling-pad secured below the said plate, and distributing-pipes for the oil connected to the said oil-trap and arranged in the air-space between the said reservoir and oiling-plate.

3. In a fioor-oiler, the combination, with an oil-reservoir, of an air-chamber secured below the said reservoir and provided with a perforated oiling-plate at its bottom, an oilingpad secured below the said plate, an oil-trap connected to the said reservoir and arranged within the said air chamber, distributingpipes connected to the said oil-trap and projecting through holes in the ends of the said air-chamber, and stoppers for obtaining access to the said oil trap and pipes.

4. In a floor-oiler, the combination, with an oil-reservoir, of an oil-trap connected to the lower part of the said reservoir, an oiling-pad supported below the said reservoir and oiltrap, and distributing-pipes for the oil connected to the said oil-trap and arranged between the said reservoir and oiling-pad.

5. In a floor-oiler, the combination, with an oil-reservoir provided with an oil-outlet at its lower part, and an oiling-pad receiving the oil from the said outlet; of a branch or nozzle I) which projects at the top of the said reservoir, a cap closing the said nozzle and provided with a chamber in its upper part and an air-inlet hole in the side of the said chamber, an air-inlet pipe which depends from the upper part of the said cap and which has a valve-seat at its top within the said chamber, and an air-valve screwed into the said chamber and regulating the passage of air through the said valve-seat and air-inlet pipe.

In testimony whereof I have aliixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE HENRY GARNE'I.
