I, JOHN INGLE of 112 Meanwood Road, Leeds, in the County of York Mechanic,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My present invention relates to the lubrication of the journals of wringing machine
rollers, and the object thereof is to employ means whereby the oil or other lubricant
is automatically applied to said journals in sufficient quantity for perfect lubrication
and at the same time without waste thereof, I attain this by constructing the bushes
wherein revolve the said journals in the manner illustrated in the drawings annexed
and of which the following is a description.
Fig. 1. is a sectional elevation fig. 2. a front elevation and fig. 3. a plan of said
bush, constructed with my present improved means for attaining the object hereinbefore
mentioned.
The bush A has either made with or attached to it a cup B, and has a vertical or
other chamber G wherein is placed a loose pin or rod C. A passage or channel E,
connects the cup B to the chamber G. When the journal I) of roller revolves it
causes the pin or rod C to vibrate within the chamber G, and thereby allows the
lubricant F to flow through the passage or channel E and down the chamber G around
the said pin or rod C and onto the journal D. The diameter or size of said pin or
rod C is so adjusted that the oil or other lubricant F is supplied or conveyed to
the journal D in the manner described and in sufficient quantity for perfect lubrication
without causing waste.
I would have it well understood that the drawings hereunto attached merely illustrate
the principle of my present invention and that the same may be somewhat modified
without departing from the essential. part thereof.

Improved Means for Lubricating the Journals of Wringing Machine
Rollers.
I, JOHN INGLE of 112 Meanwood Road Leeds in the County of York Mechanic
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:
My present invention-relates to the lubrication of the journals of Wringing Machine
rollers and the object thereof is to employ means whereby the oil or other lubricant
is automatically applied to said journals in sufficient quantities for perfect lubrication
and at the same time without causing waste, I attain this by constructing the bushes
wherein revolve the journals of the top roller of the wringing machine in the manner
illustrated in the drawings left with my provisional specification and also in the manner
illustrated in the darwings hereunto attached.
Referring to the drawings left with my provisional specification Fig. 1 is a sectional
elevation Fig. 2 a front elovation and Fig. 3 a plan of said bush constructed with my
present improved means for attaining the object herein before mentioned, and referring
to the drawings hereunto attached Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation showing both the
journal of the top and that of the bottom roller and illustrating the means whereby
the lubricating of both journals is attained. Like letters designate similar parts in
each figure.
The bush or bearing A has preferably cast in one with it a cup B and has also a
vertical or other chamber G wherein is placed a loose pin or small rod C, which may
be of either round, oval square, hexagonal or any other suitable cross section and may
also where preferred be formed hollow, and have suitable lateral perforations.
The said pin is formed tapered at the bottom as shown. A suitable channel E is
drilled or otherwise formed at a suitable inclination and connects the cup B to the
chamber G. The channel E is formed preferably by means of a drill which drills a
hole which is afterwards rivetted or sealed up by the stud or rivet J fig. 4 and the
vertical chamber is also likewise preferably drilled and after the pin C has been placed
therein it is sealed up at the top by means of the rivet or stud K. The said chamber G
is preferably enlarged a little at the upper part above the channel E and the pin C
has a suitable bead, swell, or other enlargement to prevent it falling out through the
bottom of chamber G when the journal has been for any purpose removed from the
bush or the bush from the journal. The bottom of the chamber G is also
enlarged or spread out forming a sort of vertical countersunk or inverted pan as
shown at G fig. 4, by this means the lubricant is caused to spread over the whole
area of the journal.
When the journal D revolves it causes the pin or rod C to vibrate, thereby inter-
mittingly opening the channel E, during which times the lubricant is free to descend
by gravity through the said channel E down around the pin C until it arrives at the
lower end of pin and chamber where it spreads out in the enlarged portion G'; the

page_text: vibration of the pin also tends to prevent the oil congealing and causes it to descend
uniformly and conducts it to the journal with the speed required for necessary
lubrication. The diameter or thickness of the said pin or rod is so adjusted that
the oil or other lubricant is conducted from the cup B and conveyed to the journal D
in sufficient quantity for perfect lubrication without causing waste.
As the journal D revolves the lubricant accumulates on the lower portion of said
journal by the force of gravity and attraction and forms into globules and falls drop
by drop as shown at L fig. 4 onto the journal D of the bottom roller, so that by
lubricating the journal of top roller in the manner hereinbefore described the journal
of bottom roller is likewise supplied with the necessary lubricant without any further
means as will be well understood.
When the pin C is formed hollow having perforations the said perforations are
formed in the portion of the pin which comes between the channel and the bottom of
pin. By means of the said perforations and the pin being made hollow the oil has
more space or area whereby to flow to the journal. . It is obvious that the pin may be
made hollow without perforations.
If the oil in the bearing should become congealed it is only necessary to warm
the bush by any suitable means and the lubricating arrangements will go on working
satisfactorily.
The several parts of my improvements are constructed of material suitably adapted
for their various purposes.
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 1
claim is
1. In means for lubricating the journals of wringing machine rollers the use in
combination with a bearing A of a cup B channel E chamber G and rod C
all substantially as arranged and set forth at figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings
left with my provisional specification and at fig. 4 of the drawings hereunto
attached.
2. The arrangement of a pin C free to vibrate in a chamber G thereby inter-
mittingly closing a passage E combined substantially as described and for the
purpose specified.
3. The improved means for lubricating the journals of wringing machine rollers
substantially as described and illustrated at figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings left with
my provisional specification and at fig. 4 of the drawings hereunto attached or any
mere modification thereof.
