Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 23,817. Lobnitz, F. Oct. 18. Force-feed lubricators. -Lubricant is supplied by fluid pressure to the shaft bearings of centrifugal pumps for dredging or dealing with gritty liquids &c., and the pressure is caused to vary with that within the pump, in order to prevent the entrance of gritty liquid into the bearings, and to minimize the escape of lubricant from the bearing. Lubricant, preferably grease, in a vessel f is forced to the shaft bearing by a floating piston h', acted upon by compressed air introduced by a branch n. A piston k working in a cylinder l receives the pressure of the pump through a pipe m, and transmits this pressure to the compressed air in the chamber f by means of a piston i on the same stem j. Pressure gauges are connected to the pipe m and to the air space in the chamber f, so that the pressures in the pump and on the lubricant may be compared. The arrangement may be duplicated as shown, a vessel f<1> being put into connexion with the pipe m and outlet v by cocks y', y<2> when the vessel f is exhausted.
