UNITED e m: OFFIC CHESTER J. VAN Doses, or YANK-ToN, SOUTH DAKOTA.

LoimrcA'rme DE vrcE.

ifBe it known that I, Ciinsran J. VAND O BEN, a citizen of. the United States, residing at Yankton, in the county of Yankton and State of South Dakota, have invented certain 1 16: and useful Im rovcments in'Lubricat-.

'ing Qevices, of whic the following is a specification. ,T

My invention relatesto improvements in a journal and its. bearing irrespective of the position in which said journal is placed. a

. A furtherfiob'ect is to provide means for regulatin the ow of oil upon the 'ournal, so

that the atter'may becoated wit a film of desired'thickness.

. Other object is to have the several parts rchangeable, so that the may be reaced'gwhen' too badly worn orfurther use. '.Referring.now-to the accompan ing draw ing";1gure 1 represents a vertica section of in ournal box, rovidedwith my improved ofth'e inventiom-Fig. .4 bein taken on line of .5, and 5 eing taken on line V -Vof- I I: 1 designates a journal box, consisting of' a ipillowillogkfl -and a' cap? 4 designates a ournaiimosnted in sai .box j 5' ,a' reservoir "communicating withan opefing 6, centrally .arran ed within cap?a3,' sa ttf reservoir beingpr'ovied with a bev'el ed lower; end 7, held in contactwith the corresponding upper surface of'packing 8, by -f-stnd-bolts-9,extending through ears 10 on npperlportion of the reservoir and engagmg cap 3. Said ,bolts are provided at their upper terininals with taps 11, whereby the reservoir is drawn 0' htly into contact with .the packing, and the atter is drawn into contact with the journal 4, some to render the joint between the packing and the reservoir I 'proof against the leakage of oil thcrethrough.

- -The oil within the reservoir is forced outwardly upon the journal by a plunger 12, consisting of a piston-.head 13, and a stem 14, provided at its outer terminal with a handle 15 whereby the lungor may be manipulated. Stem-14 extend loosely through a yoke 16,

'ivotally secured by rivets '17 toa pair of rackets 18, remo'vably secured to the outer end of the reservoir by bol s 9 and taps 11.

oil by an expansion spring l9,-interposed between the piston-head 13 and the yoke 16. When it. is desired to refill the reservoir, the plunger is drawn outwardly against the spring 19, and tilted to theposition shown in'Fig- 2, so that access may be readily had to said reservoir; V

Access may be had were packing for the purpose of renewing the sa1ne,'by unscrewing ta all and removing thereservolr; f f

in the modified form- Fig. 3,1' desi' ates a journal box; consisting of a pillow block 2 and'a cap 3; #desi 'n'ates a ournal niounted in said box.,' '5 esignates-a reservoir,

having one end arranged n an opening-6 in cap 3"; said'end being be'veled as indicatedat 7?. 8* designates resilient i packing inter posed-between journal {4 an the "beveled i "75 end 7 9 designates?stild boltsipas the pa This form, like the one'shown in Figs. 1 and 2, forces the oil upon the journahthe difier:

ence being that the plunger 12, automatioally adjusts itself, with respect to the quantity of oil within the reservoir, whereas the screw-plug 12 must be manually adjusted.

The advantages obtained in providing a force feed lubricant, are: first, that the journal and its hearing will be constantly supplied with 011 until the reservoir is em tied.

econd, the device will operate equa ly as well when the journal box is in an inverted position, or fastened to the side of a post, as when inthe position shown.

Referring now to the modified form shown in Figs-4 and 5, which illustrate agravityfeed device, I" designates the journal box consisting of a pillow block 2 and a ca 3". 4* designates a journal mounted in said 0x, 5? designates -a reservoir communicating willran opening 6*, in cap 3* 8 designates packing interposed between journal 4 and the edge of the reservoir. 9 designates studbolts extending through ears 10 on'the reservoir, and entering cap 3*. 112 desig-.

nates a. cover for closing the upper portion of" the reservoir, for the purposeof excluding 1 a thick or a thin film of oil, asconditions may nal, packing interposed between the ed e of necessitate.
