Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a lubricator-cup, a hollow hub within said cup, a cover for the top of said cup, a threaded hollow spur projecting from the under side of said cover and screwed into said hub, there being means for communicating from the passage-way in said hub to the in side of said cup to allow air to enter, a removable valve-seat held within said hollow spur, a valve to engage said seat and a spring acting on said valve to return it to its seat after having been thrown off by the rotation of said cup.

2. In a lubricator, a cup, a hollow hub within said cup projecting upward from the bottom thereof, a cap having a spur projecting from its under side and removably secured in said hub, a valve, a sleeve within said spur forming a seat for said valve and a spring acting on said valve to return it to its seat after having been thrown off by centrifugal force.
3. In a lubricator, a cup, a hollow hub within said cup projecting toward the top from the bottom thereof, a cap having a threaded spur projecting from it, said spur being screwed into said hub a sleeve fixed within said spur forming a seat for the valve, a ballvalve to engage said seat and a spring acting on said ball-valve to return it to its seat after having been thrown off by centrifugal force.
4:. In a lubricator, a cup, a hub having a hollow center extending from the bottom toward the top of said cup,a cap for said cup, a spur having a hollow center projecting from said cap, said spur being screwed into said hub, a valve, a sleeve forced into the hollow center of said spur forming a seat for said valve, and a spring acting on said valve to return it to its seat after having been thrown off by centrifugal force.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 9th day of November,A. D. 1903.
