The'schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the sama.

Be n known that I, o. o. Kimi, of Philadelphia, in-the county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Oups for Self-Oiling- Adjustable Hangers and I do hereby declare -that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings, making part of this specification,l in` Whicb- Figure l is a transverse section of a box and hanger, with the improved cup;

Figure 2, a plan'of the cup;

Figure 3, a perspective -view; Figure 4, a view of the cup before the improvement; and

Figure 5,a view of the cap for the improved cup.,

In that style ofself-oiling adjustable shafting-han gers which swivel on two cylindrical plugs, AA', a separate oil-cup -was originally placed on each side of the boss B; but itwas found that the oil would run frequently from one to the other7 causing an overflow on one side, and hea-ting ofthe journal on the other.

level, the cups were united by a closed channel, O, fig, 4,

the whole being cast in one piece. This channel being `closed everywhere but on its ends, it was necessary to To avoid.. this, andto canse the oil to be always on the same was given up, on account of the expense, and the difficulty of making a permanent oil-tight joint.

In my invention, thesetroubles are effectually over- I come, by making the channel all open on the top. In fact, it is merely a continuation of one cup, running around the boss B, and joining the other cup, as sho'wn in gs. 2 and 3. 4

The section of the channel shown in the drawings is 4 a rectangle, g. l, and the plan, an arc of a circle, g. 2;

but I do not limit myself to these shapes, as they have nothing to do with the merits ofthe invention.

In order to prevent dust and dirt from entering, and to facilitate the pouring in of oil, a cap,-g. 5,V is provided, which slides a little underneath the box, as at D, Iig. 1, and the lng E then drops insidejof the channel C, thus keeping the cap in its proper place.

The sides of the channel are so much below the top of the cup as to allow the cap to form a level with the cups when it is in place.

I do not claim the idea of connecting the cups as shown in fig. 4, or by means of a pipe; but, `in order to' facilitate the moulding and casting of oil-cups, as aforesaid,

' I claim the channel 0 and the cap, fig. 5,l combined 'andrarranged with the oil-cups, as herein described.
