MEANS FOR LUBRICATING' SLEEVE-BEARINGS.

Specification of Letters Patent. l
Application filed September 16, 1907. Serial No. 393,150.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that l, WiLLIAM H; MoGA'U-' LEY, a citizen of the United'States, residing in Paterson, Passaic county, New Jersey,
have invented certain new and useful In1 provements in Means for Lubricating Sleeve- Bearings; and l'do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention," such as Willenabl e others skilled in the art to which'it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and
to letters of reference markedthcreon, which.
form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to means for oiling the sleeve or. cylindrical bearings" of the spindles of spinning machines orother similar devices.
\Vith reference particularly to spinning spindles, myinvention has for its objects to confine the oil against being scattered about after it passes down through and leaves the sleeve bearing and. to return it to the top ofthe bearing tobe used over again each time 1t passes through the bearing. This 0b ect being accomplisl'ied, it will be obvious that a' saving will follow as a matter of course, not
only in the lubricating oil and in the labor required to keep the machine in proper running order, but in the wear and tear on the parts and particularly the spindles, the sleeve bearings and the driving tapes or belts in addition, the oil will be prevented from being scattered about and damaging the material being manufactured.
Referring to the accompanying drawin'g,,
Figure 1 is'a View showmg my invention applied to a spinning spindle, certain parts appearing in section in a plane at right angles to the uppenand lower rails supporting the spindles and substantially coincident with the axis of the spindle; Fig. 2 is a view in front elevation of a portion of the device constituting my improvement; and, Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on the line of Fig. 1.
In said drawing, a is the upper rail, in
which is arranged the sleeve bearing 7) formed,
as usual, with the oil cavity 0; d is the lower rail carrying the step hearing 6, as usual. f
1 is the spindle journaled in said bearings car- Tying tho whirl g.
It is the practice at present'to lubricate the spindl. in its upper bearing by introduc ing the lubricating oil from time to time into the cavity 1' of'the sleeve bearing 11. i The oil thereupon works its way through the hear-- ing and is thrown oil by the spindle so that it is not only wasted but is scattered upon other parts of the machineas well as upon the material in process of manufacture. In order to prevent this, I arrange on the spindle f directly above the whirl g-in the adaptation shown, or, at least, so as to surround the lower end of the bearing 7), the cup h. This cup is preferably secured on the spindle in the same manner in which the whirl g is usually secured thereon, to wit, by amming it on the spindle, and for the purpose of for1ning an extended contact between the cup and the spindle, as at i, and causing the cup to As above stated, the cup is so arranged as to surround the lower end of the bearing 1:, that IS, lts upper edge pro ects above the .lower end of said hearing, so that as the oil is thrown 05 at the lower end of the hearing by the centrifugalaction of the spindle it will be caught by the cup. Inasmuch as the cup rotates with the spindle at a high rate of speed, the cup furthermore has its upper edge turned inwardly, as at k, thusimparting to the circular wall of the cup an internally channeled form, whereby to insure the confining of the chin the cup.-
I further attach to the face of the rail a the bracket portion Z of a tubular conductor m whose lower end extends into the cup 7% and whose upper end is adapted to discharge into the cavity 0. The tubular conductor m comprises a valve casing n having integral there with the bracket portion Z, a valve 0 in said valve casing adapted to control the flow through the latter, and the tubes 2) and g the former'of which is screwed into the upper side of the valve casing and the latter of which is screwed into the under side of said valve casing. The tube p is bent so that its free end projects over the cavity 0; the tube g is so bent as to extend down into the cup it to a point somewhat near the bottom there- Qf, and then oft horizontally in a direction opposite to that of the rotation of the cup with the spindle. This latter portion, "1', of said tube 9, stands close to the circular wall of the cup and it. has its free or open end bev eled, as best seen in Fig. 3, whereby to insure. the free entry of the oil into the tube.
In operation, the attendant merely sees that the cup is from time to time supplied with oil, being careful not to introduce so much Patented May 5, 1908.
' that when the cu is rotatin at the normal "bular conductor m and discharge into the cavity 0, from whence it will work its way down through the bearing 5 back into the.
cup; this effect continues so ion as the cup is rotating. The flow through t e conductor mmay be regulated by the valve 0, as the I conditions require.
My invention has the further advantage that it makes it possible to keep the bearing 1) adequately supplied with oil, whatever f speed the spindle may assume, by providing the bearing 6 witha vertical oil duct 8 which allows the oil to pass unim eded downthrough the bearing; 'such an oil not has been practically impossible heretoi ore because it would allow the oil to ass through the bearing too quickl althoug it obviously has the advantage t at so, long as the oil remains therein the bearing is the eby freely lubricated.
The bracket Z is detachably secured to. the
I rail a by having slots t which receive screws u driven into the rail.
In case the tubular conductor should become clogged by particles of lint or floss taken 11 by the oil, it may be detached from the Ta] and cleaned; in furtherance of this object, the tubes p and (1 may be unscrewed from the valve casing n so as to have like access to these parts. The amount tube g. The cover may be raised from time to time by loosening screw :0 so as'to permit access to the cup for cleaning the same.
I do not wish to be limited to any of the details of construction he'rein set forth, what I claim being:
' The combination, with a railand an upright sleeve-bearing arranged therein, of a rotary part arranged in the sleeve-bearing, a rotary cup located below said bearing, a valve casing secured detachably to therfro'nt face of the rail, a'tube detachably secured to the valve casing and discharging into an eleg ated part of the sleeve-bearing, another tube detachably secured to the valve casing and projecting downwardly into said casing, and avalve arranged in said valve casing, substantially as described. In testimony, that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this, 12th day of September, 1907.
