Lubricants under Pressure.
I, TOM HENRY TAYLOR of Norwood House, Heaton near Newcastle on Tyne in the
County of Northumberland Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
These Improvements relate to the method of and means for supplying Lubricants under
pressure, and consist in deriving the pressure employed to force the lubricant, from
the boiler feed, or in utilizing the pressure of the boiler feed to force the lubricant and
in the construction combination and arrangement of apparatus therefor.
In carrying out my Invention I connect to a convenient part of the boiler feed pipe
a vessel similar to the air vessel of a pump. To this vessel I connect a pipe which
in turn is connected either to a sight feed apparatus or to an oil vessel or receptacle
for the lubricant. The passage from the vessel to the sight feed apparatus or vessel
of lubricant is fitted with a non-return valve. In some cases I may employ a second
vessel similar to the air vessel between the first air chamber and non-return valve and
the sight feed apparatus or receptacle for the lubricant. This second vessel may if
desired be employed to act as a combined air vessel and lubricator. Suitable valves,
cocks and tubes are employed by directing and controlling the pressure and the supply
of the lubricant.

Lubricants under Pressure.
I, TOM HENRY TAYLOR of Norwood House, Heaton, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, in the
County of Northumberland, Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
These Improvements relate to the method of and means for supplying Lubricants
under pressure and consist in deriving the pressure from the boiler feed or in
utilising the boiler feed pressure to force the lubricant, and in the construction,
combination and arrangement of apparatus therefor.
•
In carrying out my Invention, I connect to a convenient part of the boiler feed pipe
a vessel similar to the air vessel of a pump. To this vessel I connect a pipe which
in turn is connected to a sight feed apparatus or to an oil vessel or receptacle for the
lubricant. The passage from the vessel to the sight feed apparatus or vessel containing
the lubricant is fitted with a non-return valve. In some cases I may employ a second
vessel similar to the air vessel between the first air chamber and non-return valve and
the sight feed apparatus or receptacle for the lubricant. This second vessel may if
desired be employed to act as a combined air vessel and lubricator. Suitable valves,
cocks and tubes are employed for directing and controlling the pressure and the supply
of the lubricant.
The Figure on the accompanying sheet of Drawings represents a vertical section of
a convenient form of apparatus constructed according to these Improvements.
The connections with the boiler feed tube and with the point to be lubricated are
omitted as their arrangement is well understood.
;
A is the tube through which the connection with the boiler feed pipe is effected
B is a non-return valve; C is a vessel to contain the supply of lubricant ; D is a
funnel inlet for the lubricant; E is a screw for closing the oil inlet; F is the outlet
for the lubricant; G is a screwed spindle for locking the non-return valve, and H
is a sight feed lubricator which may be substituted by any other type of distributing
apparatus of a similar kind.
The non-return valve may be placed in any convenient position in and controlling
the passage between the source of pressure and the sight feed apparatus or vessel
containing the lubricant.
When the lubricant has to be displaced from the apparatus by air pressure, the
arrangement represented by the drawings is employed, and I prefer to provide that
an air space shall exist in the apparatus above the lubricant. This air space is
secured by the funnel form of the inlet D.
When the lubricant has to be displaced by water pressure, the arrangement
of the apparatus is slightly varied thus:-The water inlet from the boiler feed
tube A is at the lower part instead of the upper part of the chamber C, and the

page_text: outlet F is at or near the upper part of the chamber instead of at the lower part.
This alteration in the position of the outlet may conveniently be arranged by inserting
a curved tube in the outlet F within the chamber C so that the opening to the tube
will be near the top of the chamber. The arrangement of the outlet in this manner
is indicated in the drawing by dotted lines.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1) The method of supplying lubricants under pressure derived from a boiler feed
pipe, substantially as and by the means hereinbefore described.
(2) The combination, construction, and arrangement of devices constituting an
apparatus for supplying lubricants under pressure derived from a boiler feed pipe;
substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying Drawings.
Dated this 8th day of October A.D. 1888.
