Letters Patent No. 99,354, dated February 1,1870.
IMPROVED RAILWAY-CARJOURNAL LUBRICATOR.
The Schedule referred to in these Letter! Patent end making part of the name.
wwe-
I, THoMAs SAYLns, of the cityof Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Car-Journal Lubrieators, of which the following is e specification.
Nature and bject of the Invention. This invention has for its object an improved method of constructing a lubricator for oilin g railroad-car journais.
Description of the Accompanying Drawings.
Figure 1 is an end view of a. journal, and position of lubricator under the journal, and the method of at` taching the coiled-wire spring to the plate.-
.Figure 2 is a sectional view of the lubricator, showing the method of attaching the oil-pad to then plate.
I made au application for a patent on an improved luhricator Yfor railroad-car journals, in the latter part of Siptember, 1869, which application is now pending. This application `is for improvements not embodied in that lapplication.
lGeneral Description.
G is the jacket, made of coarse hemp, or bther suitable material. v
C C is the oil-pad, working under the journal. This is in two divisions.
D is a .rickg-for conducting the oil to the pads. It
VKis made of ordinary lamp-wick.
B is the wircwhieh holds and attaches the oil-pad,\
to the pla-.te H J I I are arms, extending from the plate up, on both sides ofthe journal, to keep the lubricator in position.
. A is a part of the plate, turned downwind, with the lower corners thereof `turned out, so as to pass under the top wire of the coiled-wire springO O, thus fastening itto the spring 'This coiiedwire spring Ois placed under the plate H, and presses the plate H, with its pads C C, np against the journai. In making the plate H, I take a piece of galvanized sheet-iron, or any other suitable metal, a, litte longer than the width of the inside of the journa1box,'and of suitable width, which may be a. little narrower than the length of the journal.
Gn each corner of the plate, I leave a strip, I I, fi g i The pads C C rest upon the pla-te H, and the wickv D passes4 between them. These pads and the wick are fastened to the plate by the wire B, which extends through them, and down through the plate. The two ends are .drawn down, and twisted together beneath the piste. This wire is drawn so tightly that the upper.` pad extends' above it considerably, as shown in tig. 2, so, in use, the upper pad will be largely wornbefore the wire is reached. One pad con be dispensed with, and the wick placed beneath the pad remaining.
K is a support, made ot'twine, wire, or any suitable material, extending across the baise of the coiled spring, and through the wick D, at its lower end. This holds the wick in position, so its lower end is constantly in the oil, in which position it discharges its'duties, in supplying the pads with oil, to the best advantage. E is a projection from the plate H,-and when the lnbrieator is in posit-ion, it extends beyond the end of the journal, on the underside, and serves to indicate the conditionoi' the pads.
The operation of my invention is to place the Inbucator beneath the journal, and within the journal-box. Gil is then poured into the oilgbox. The action of the wick D keeps the pads C C constantly saturated with oil, and they, in turn, being pressed snugly against the journal, by the coiled springr C O, keep the journal .constantly lubricated.
Clowns.
1. Fastening the pads to the plate H, by means ol' the wire B, substantiaily as shown anddesoribcd.
2. Fastening the coiled spring O to the plate H, as shown und described.
3. Combining the support Ii, wick I), und jacket G, in manner and for the purpose described.
