PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Lubricator for Velocipedes and other Vehicles
or Machines.
I HARRY LUCAS of The Tom Bowling Lamp Works, Little King Street
Birmingham, Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to cylindrical lubricators such as are used on velocipedes.
In my improved lubricator the cap. is shallow and extends only a little way down
the side of the lubricator instead of telescoping and nearly covering it as is usual.
A small wire loop is fixed on the side of the lubricator at or near the top and I make
a hole near the edge of the cap so that the cap can be threaded on to this loop and
be held by it when thrown open from the lubricator.
The loop is conveniently fixed to the lubricator by forming it on the end of a
small bar which passes through the lubricator from side to side. The cap is provided
with a small spring for holding it on the lubricator when the latter is required to
be covered.

An Improved Lubricator for Velocipedes and other Vehicles
or Machines.
I, HARRY LUCAS, of The Tom Bowling Lamp Works, Little King Street, in
the City of Birmingham, Lamp Manufacturer, 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 invention relates to cylindrical lubricators such as are used on velocipedes.
In my improved lubricator the cap is shallow and extends only a little way down
the side of the lubricator instead of telescoping and nearly covering it as is usual.
A small wire loop is fixed on the side of the lubricator at or near the top and I make
a hole near the edge of the cap so that the cap can be threaded on to this loop and
be held by it when thrown open from the lubricator.
The loop is conveniently fixed to the lubricator by forming it on the end of a
small bar which passes through the lubricator from side to side. The cap is provided
with a small spring for holding it on the lubricator when the latter is required to be
covered.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings-
Figure 1 is a section through my improved lubricator and cap showing the loop
formed at the end of a bar.
Figure 2 is a similar section showing the loop formed by threading a wire through
two holes in the side.

page_text: The lubricator A Figure 1 has a bar C¹ which is pushed through opposing holes
and clinched or riveted. A loop C is formed at one end and threaded through a
hole B¹ in the cap B. In Figure 2 two holes are made in the side of the lubricator A
and a wire C is threaded through both and clinched inside. The wire Cis threaded
through a hole B¹ in the cap B and this contrivance makes a very effective and
economical hinge for the said cap. D is a spring to hold the cap in position when
closed as shewn in Fig. 3.
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 :-
A lubricator in which the cap is hinged to the body of the lubricator by a loop
as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings.
