AN IMPROVEMENT IN SIGHT FEED LUBRICATORS to be as follows:
Year: 1885

page_text: I, WILLIAM ANTON GOTTLIEB SCHONHEYDER of N° 81 St Stephens Avenue,
Shepherds Bush in the County of Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN SIGHT FEED LUBRICATORS
to be as follows:-
-
"
My invention relates to a construction of sight feed lubricator with its passages
so arranged that the inlet for steam and the outlet for oil are connected to the
cylinder or steam pipe by a singlo screw joint, and that a single stop-cock, which
can be turned to various attitudes, governs the various passages, as I will describe
referring to the accompanying drawings. Figs. 1 and 2 are vertical sections on
planes at right angles to one another. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan on X X of Fig. 1,
and Fig. 4 is a sectional plan on Z Z of Fig. 2. Three passages are drilled up the
screw plug A by which forming a single screw joint the lubricator is fixed in its
place. The passage o for oil is plugged at the lower end and has its outlet at o¹
inclined upwards so that there is always a seal of oil at the bottom of the passage o.
The passage w for draining off water is also plugged at the lower end but com-
municates by a lateral passage w¹ with the drain off pipe w². The passage 8 for
steam is open at the end and communicates by a lateral passage s and a pipe s
with the uppermost vessel S. This vessel which may have a depth of one to two
inches or more is made with a projecting lips so as to form at the top a shallow
trough containing water to assist in condensing the steam in S. The water of
condensation descends from S by the passage w³, and, when the stop cock C is in
a certain attitude, finds its way through a right angled port w* in the stop cock
and through a lateral port w³ into the reservoir space R. The oil in this space
floating on the water, descends the passage o* finds its way through a right angled
port o in the cock to a recess o in the shell of the cock, thence by a diagonal
passage o to the nozzle of whence it ascends, drop by drop, through the water in
the glass tube G. It then passes laterally by o' down 08 through the right angled
port o in the cock into the recess of the shell communicating with o.
The glass
tube G is packed by rings at g g compressed by the tube g¹ through the sides of
which are elongated sight openings g. The cock C is turned by an external
handle H to the four positions indicated by the dotted centre lines 1, 2, 3 and 4
in Fig. 2 which may be marked on the casing as Water," "Feed," "Shut" and
Drain" respectively.

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 passage w for draining off water is also plugged at the lower end but com-

steam is open at the end and communicates by a lateral passage s' and a pipe 8²
with the uppermost vessel S. This vessel, which may have a depth of one to two
inches, or more, is made with a projecting lip s so as to form at the top a shallow
trough containing water to assist in condensing the steam in S. The water of
condensation descends from S by the passage w³, and, when the stop cock C is in a
certain attitude, finds its way through a right angled port w in the stop cock and
through a lateral port w into the reservoir space R. The oil in this space floating

in the cock to a recess of in the shell of the cock, thence by a diagonal passage o
to the nozzle 06 whence it ascends, drop by drop, through the water in the glass
tube G. It then passes laterally by o' down 08 through the right angled part o³ in
the cock into the recess of the shell communicating with o. The glass tube G is
packed by rings at g g compressed by the tube g¹ through the sides of which are
elongated sight openings g. The cock C is turned by an external handle H to the
four positions indicated by the dotted centre lines 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Fig. 2 which may
be marked on the casing as "Water," Feed, "Shut" and "Drain" respectively.
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 construction of sight feed lubricator herein described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
