THOMAS FREEMAN NOT" FINCH, OF lVORCESTER, COUNTY OF 'OROESTER, EGLAND.
CAR-'AXLE LUBRICATOR.
SPECIFICATION. forming part of Letters Patent No.. 395,887, dated January 8, 1889. Application filed October 9, 1888. Serial No. 287,615. (No model.) Patented in England November 7, 1887, No. 15,147.
To ZZ whom, may concern:
Be itlznown that l, 'IHonxs FREEMAN Norr FINCH, a sub ject ot' the Queen ot' GreatBritain, residing' at Sidbury 'orks, lVorcester, in the facturer, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Appliances for Lubricating` Railway and other Axles and .lournails, (for which l have obtained a patent in Great Britain, No. 15147, dated November 7, i887) of which the following is a specification.
The object ol' my invention is to eltect iinprovements in appliances forlubricatingraih way, tram car, and other axles and journals; and this specification describes the method of applying the same to railway and tram car axles, from which description its application to other kinds ot' axles and journals will be readily understood.
A constant supply oi' oil orot her lubricant is applied to the journal while revolving by means ot' a wheel or roller fitted in a reservoir or vessel under the journal. The wheel or roller is pressed upward and retained in contact with the journal by means of spiral or other springs in such a manner as to insure such contact. The lubricant is supplied to the box through ahole formed in the external wall of the axle-box. 'lhe wheel or roller may be made ot any suitable material, and if necessary may be covered with `felt or any other suitable substance, in order to carry upY to the journal a larger supply of the lubricant than would be supplied by the bare wheel or roller. '.lhe wheel or 'roller is iitted with a spindle running through its longitudinal center, the two ends ot such spindle enteringl slots or other suitable provisions in the walls of the axle-box, and sustained or pressed upward by the springs, or the wheel or roller may be formed with trunnions for the same purpose. The wheel or roller revolves wholly or partially in the oil or other lubricant and in its revolutions carries up a constant supply of the same to the axle or journal, such supply being' continued so long,I as the roller itself is in contact with such lubricant; and in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained reference is hereby made to the accompanying,` drawcounty ot' llvorcester, England, luitton-rnanuings, in which similar letters oi reference indicate corresponding parts.
Figure l is a side view ol' a railway axlebox. Fig. 2 is an inside end view. Fig'. 3 is 55 an outside end view, and Fig. i is a sectional elevation, of the same, showing,l the application of my invention to railway and tram car axles.
a is the axle; b, the axle-box; c, the axle- 6o arm.
d is an inner box litted inside the box b, and capable ot sliding,l vertically therein. lhis inner box is fitted with an axle, e, carrying` a `grooved wheel, f. Springs g g are fitted 65 under the box il, which press it upward, and thereby keep the wheel f in Contact with the axle c.
7i is a flexible chain or band of lea-ther or other suitable material Aformed in links or 7o sections in a similar manner to some kinds of driving-bamls for mai'fhinery. In some cases I prefer to use a metal chain at 7L in combination with the whcelf.
is a leather collar vfitted round the axle 75 and held by the slidingI plates m m, which plates are held together by the screws and boltsn n.
o is a screw-plug, which may be unscrewed with a square key for inserting the oil.
712 Vis a leather washer.
The oil enters the box d by the hole p and the position of the plug o is adapted to the height of the oil in the box.
The wheel f is caused to rotate by its con- 85 tact with the axle c, and being partly i1nmersed in oil it carries oil upward to the axle c. The st-rap 7i also carries oil upward to the axle c, with which it rotates.
The grooved wheel f and flexible chain h 9o act in concert to efiiciently supply the lubricant to the under and upper sides of the axle by reason of the grooved wheel revolving in superficial contact with the under side of the axle and the chain rotating with the wheel in 95 contact with the uppermost port-ions of the axle. In these respects my invention differs fronr those axle-boxes having a spring-pressed roller alone rotating in contact with the axle, and from those axle-boxes having a traveling roo spring-chain passing over the axle and under a roller mounted in a frame carrying a non-
