page_text: ROBERT BAIRD, 134 St. Vincent Street, Glasgow, Oil Merchant, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention relates to cups, for supplying oil and grease to Bearings, simul-
taneously or separately, as desired. This is accomplished, by combining a cup for oil,
and a cup for grease, as follows. There is a cup for holding oil supply, inside
of which is a cup for holding grease supply. The inner cup passes through the
cover of the outer cup to the bottom, where it is tapered, to enter the outlet from
outer cup, and form a valve for shutting off or regulating the flow of oil. At the end
of the taper where .it passes into the oil outlet, there is an opening, from which a
supply of grease can go to the bearing, either with the oil when the valve is partly
open, or by itself when the valve is shut.
The inner cup is screwed in and through the cover of the outer cup so that it can
be fixed to regulate or shut off the flow of oil. The supply of grease from the inner
cup, may be regulated by a piston bearing on it with more or less pressure. The
tapered point which is the outlet of the grease cup extends well into the oil outlet,
and near the surface requiring lubrication thus bringing the grease close to undue
heat that may arise from friction, so that in the event of a hot bearing, it would
melt and a greater supply run off.

page_text: ROBERT BAIRD, 134 St. Vincent Street Glasgow, Oil Merchant, 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 invention relates to cups for supplying oil and grease to bearings simul-
taneously or separately as desired. This is accomplished by combining a cup for oil
and a cup for grease as follows: As will be seen by referring to drawing-herewith,
there is a cup A for holding oil supply, inside of which is a cup B for holding grease
supply. The inner cup B passes through the cover C of the outer cup A to the
bottom where it is tapered to enter the outlet H from outer cup, and form a valve D
for shutting off or regulating the flow of oil. At the end of the taper where it
into the oil outlet, there is an opening F from which a supply of grease can go to the
bearing, either with the oil when the valve D is partly open or by itself when the
valve is shut.
passes
The inner cup is screwed at E in and through the cover C of the outer cup A so
that it can be fixed to regulate or cut off the flow of oil. The supply of grease from
the inner cup B may be regulated by a piston G. bearing on it with more or less
pressure. The tapered point F which is the outlet of the grease cup extends well
into the oil outlet H and near the surface requiring lubrication, thus bringing the
grease close to any undue beat that may arise from friction, so that in event of a hot
bearing it would melt and a greater supply run off.
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 combination of grease cup with an oil cup, substantially as described and
illustrated.
