I, JOHN PATON, of Number 29 Newry Street, Holyhead, in the County of Anglesey,
Chief Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object I seek to attain is to force oil and water between rubbing surfaces that
are constantly and heavily pressed together such as the outside bearings of Paddle
shafts, the bearings of Propeller shafts in their stern tubes, the steps or bottom bearings
of upright shafts and the like: And in order that the nature of my Invention may be
the better understood I have appended the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional elevational view of the improved lubricator according
to my Invention, referring to which I is an inlet for water under pressure, O is a vessel
to contain oil, V is a valve for regulating the flow of water. Vis a valve to regulate
the flow of oil, Cis a stop-cock to allow the water to flow into and out of the oil vessel O,
Cis a stop-cock to ascertain by inspection the quantities of water and oil passing
through the lubricator in a given time; P is a plug to stop the hole where oil is poured
into the vessel O;-0 is the outlet communicating with the parts to be lubricated.
Figure 2 illustrates one of the modes of applying my said Invention namely to
lubricate the bearings of marine screw propeller shafts, a indicating the position of
the lubricator, and the conduit or passage from same to the bearing c to be
lubricated.

Improvements in Lubricators.
I, JOHN PATON, of Number 29 Newry Street, Holyhead, in the County of Anglesey,
Chief 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 :-
The object I seek to attain by means of my Invention is to force oil and water
between rubbing surfaces that are constantly and heavily pressed together such as the
outside bearings of Paddle shafts, the bearings of Propeller shafts in their stern tubes,
the steps or bottom bearings of upright shafts and the like.
Referring to the sheet of drawings left with my Provisional Specification Figure 1
is a vertical sectional elevational view of the improved lubricator according to my
Invention I, being an inlet for water under pressure; O, is a vessel to contain oil;
V, is a valve for regulating the flow of water; V2 is a valve to regulate the flow of
oil; C is, a stop cock to allow the water to flow into and out of the oil vessel O; C is
a stop cock to ascertain by inspection the quantities of water and oil passing through
the lubricator in a given time; P, is a plug to stop the hole where oil is poured into
the vessel 0 0 is the outlet communicating with the parts to be lubricated.
Referring still to the same drawing, Figure 2 illustrates one of the modes of applying
my said Invention namely to lubricate the bearings of marine screw propeller shafts,
a indicating the position of the lubricator, and the conduit or passage from same to
the bearing c to be lubricated.

I have also illustrated in the drawing accompanying this my Complete Specification,
another mode of applying and utilising the device according to my Invention namely
for introducing the oil and water forced from my improved lubricator into the stuffing
box of a steam engine cylinder or the like to allow of the lubrication of the piston
rod. In this particular application the lubricant enters the stuffing box at a (Figure 1)
and passes into the lubricating ring b, (which latter is shewn also detached in plan
and sectional views respectively, Figures 2 and 3,) and thence through the openings b
into the clearance portion surrounding the piston rod at c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved device for forcing oil and water between rubbing surfaces for the
purpose of lubricating same substantially as herein described and shewn in the
accompanying drawings.
