I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67, Strand in the city of Westminster, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for "A WASTE OIL OR
GREASE RECEPTACLE FOR CARRIAGE AXLES, a communication to me from abroad
by Ernest Jacquelin, Decorative Painter, of Niort, France, to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to recover the oil or liquid grease which escapes
from the journals of carriage-axles.
For this purpose the axle-head or collar is provided with a conical ring of sheet
metal, attached so that the oil from the axle will flow outward over the conical
surface of the ring and then fall over the outer edge of the cone. This box has
preferably the shape of a cylindrical ring and is provided with a screw plug for
drawing off the oil, which has accumulated in the interior.

Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, a communication to me
from abroad by Ernest Jacquelin, Decorative Painter of Niort, France, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
This invention has for its object to recover the oil or liquid grease which escapes
from the journals of carriage-axles.
For this purpose the axle head or collar is provided with a conical ring preferably
of sheet metal, attached so that the oil from the axle will flow outward over the
conical surface of the ring by centrifugal force or gravity and then fall over the
outer edge of the cone into a metallic box or casing which surrounds the axle as
well as the cone. This box has preferably the shape of a cylindrical ring and is
provided with a screw plug for drawing off the oil, which bas accumulated in the
interior.
In the annexed drawing, which illustrates the invention, Fig. 1. is a partial
elevation and cross-section of the metallic oil-cup, placed on an axle.
Fig. 2 an end view of the cup.
a represents the collar of the axle.
b the enclosure of the cup or the outer casing.
c the receptacle for the oil escaping from the axle.
d a receptacle for the oil which comes from the receptacle c through the circular
opening e.
fa metallic plate separating the space c from the space d.
e opening for withdrawing the oil, closed by a screw-cap
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
The combination of a conical or bell-mouthed ring f, with an outer receptacle b,
substantially as and for the purpose described.
