LUBRICATO R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 330,767, dated November 17, 1885.

Application filed December 9, 1884. Serial No. 149,837. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PARDON ARMINe'roN, ofthe city and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lubricators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

ro My invention relates to automatic lubricators; and the object of my invention is to produce a lubricator of such construction that in case of any impediment in the automatic working of the lubricator, oil may be readily fed into it by hand and conveyed by it to the bearing.

To this purpose my invention consistsin the peculiar and novel construction and arrangement of part-s, as hereinafterdescribed and Claimed.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevat-iou, partly in see tion, of my improved lubricator. Fig. 2 is ,a similar View of the same on a plane at right angles to Fig. l.

In the said drawings,A designates any mov- 3o ing part of an engine-such as a slide-bar or other device-which is sufficiently exposed to carry an automatic lubricator. B designates an inverted-Ushaped bracket, which is secured at its ends to the part A. O designates an automatic lubricator, of any suitable form, having a screw-cap, c, and a screw-threaded drip-nozzle, c. This lubricator C is detachably secured upon the top or-bend of the bracket B, and its nozzle extends vertically downward directly over a cavity, a, which is 4o `formed in the upper side ofthe part A. From the bottom of the cavity a, extends a duct or channel, ct,which opens at its lower end upon the bearing-surface of the part A.

Automatic lubricators are more or less liable 4 5 to faulty action, and in certain instances it is impossible to immediately stop the engine, which must be done before the automatic lubricator as heretofore arranged can be examined andits defective action remedied; hence 5o an objectionable amount of wear results from the continued action of the engine after the supply of lubricant has been out olf. Now, in my lubricator, when the action of the cup C becomes defective, the bearing may be `lubricated and theV engine still allowed to run by pouring oil directly into the cavity a, which should contain Ywicking or waste, and without removing the lubricating-cup.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 63 as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination,l with the detachable oilcup C, provided with a pendent drip-nozzle,c, of the cup bearing bracket B, secured to a moving part of the engine, said part having 65 the cavity a and outlet-duct a', for the purpose described.
