OIL-'BOX -CELLAR' ANIDTDUQST-GUARD'.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 606,686, dated July 5, 1898.

and HENRY CLAY WOMELSDORFF, citizens of the cellar. I bottom of the inside of-the oil-box land keep the cellar close up to the bottom of the jourof the United States,residing at Tyler, in the county of Smith and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Box Cellars and Dust Guards; and we do hereby declarethe following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention,.

such as will enable Others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention is an oil-box cellar and im proved dust-guardcombined; and it consists in the-novel construction andarrangement' of its parts hereinafter set out in this specification and the claim hereunto attached.

The cellar is made to' slip in in the front of any standard oil-box and can be made to fit any existing standard oil-box, and is a receptacle for the oil and the waste used to lubricate the journal.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an edge view of a car-wheel,part broken away,

cc ntaining the bearing end of the axle, along; wudinal sectional view of a standard oil-box, and a longitudinal sectional view of our oilcellar and dust-guard fitted in place. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of Fig. 1 cut on the line 00 m. Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of our oil-box cellar and improveddust-guard. Fig. 4 is an end view with the end plate cutaway in order to show the dust-guards. Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan of the cellar. Fig. 6 is a face view of the guard a Our invention is described as follows:

1 is the car-wheel.

2 is the journal end of the axle.

3 is the brass over the axle.

dis the standard oil-box. 5 is the lid of the same.

6 represents our oil box cellar and improved dust-guard. The cellar is made to conform with the general shape of the standard oil-box and fits on the inside of the same.

7 are spring-feet secured to the under side Their free ends rest on the nal and prevent any displacement ofthe cellar while the truck is in motion. The door 8 of the cellar is to be kept tightly closed,and

the two said flanges a gully a to thesetwo flanges is a neck a, by which Application filed August 24, 1897. /sea1ro.e4.9,s95. (No IllOflel.)

the oil-box lid 5 closes over the whole. In the inner end of the cellar are strongly se cured three pieces of sheet metal a, b, and 0c. The inner piecehas a flange, an inner flange a; sheet .70 having flange aileavin g between In addition the piece a is secured to the inner wall of the cellar-J .Sheet :1: is also provided withaneck, by which it is secured to theinner wall of the cellar. In the said'gully a is fitted an under gasket or dust-guard a5, (see Fig. 1,) its innersurface exactly fitting the periphery of the axle.

gully b and immediately over the axle is the upper part of a gasket or dust-guard d, the wings d of which fit against the outer edges of the gasket 0, while the opening d corresponds with the periphery of the axle.

In putting our oil-box cellar and dust-guard in place We raise the lid 5 of the standard journal-box and thrust the box in, the door 8 being left next the door 5, the lower gaskets a and c fitting under the journal. The upper half of the outer gasket 61 is then slipped down through the top of the journal-box onto the wheel fit, thereby making the box dustproof, the spring-feet 7 ,resting on the bottom of the journal-box, holding the upper edge of the cellar firmly in contact with the lower edges of the brass 3.

Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,.is-'

An oil-box cellar and d ust-guard combined, consisting of the body 6; hinged door 8; springfeet 7 plate a, having flange a, plate m, having flange a ,'and plate I), having flange b, leaving between said flanges, gullies o and b dust guard a its inner surface correfitting in gully b and having its inner sur face corresponding to the periphery of the axle; upper gasket or dust-guard (Z, having its wings d fitting against the outeredges 0f the gasket 0, and its inner surface (1*, corresponding to the periphery of the axle, substantially as shown and described and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof we affix our signw tures in presence of two witnesses.
