Complete Specification Left, 18th June, 1894-Accepted, 21st July, 1894
A communication from JEAN MARIE BUISSON, of Villieu (Ain), in the Republic
of France.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention consists in the combination of a special mixing chamber with all
kinds of lubricators for prime-motors, for the purpose of securing the perfect
admixture of the motive fluid (steam, hot air or gas, compressed air etc.) with the
oil supplied by the lubricator before its passage into the distributing parts and
cylinders of the said motors. In this manner a much more perfect lubrication is
obtained.
.
In order to obtain such complete admixture of the motive fluid and the oil, it is
necessary to arrange in the mixing chamber a series of baffle-plates or other
similar retention devices, to delay the passage of the oil and prevent its too rapid
introduction in conjunction with the steam. The said baffles may be of any
suitable form and kind.
The oil may be supplied to the mixing apparatus either continuously or
intermittently. For the purpose of effecting as perfect and regular an admixture
as possible of the oil and the motive fluid, the oil should preferably be supplied
in minute quantities and in as regular a manner as possible.
The apparatus is affixed to the supply pipe of the motive fluid (steam, gas etc.) at
any convenient and suitable point by means of its screwed end.
The oil reservoir is filled by opening a cock and closing all the other cocks.
When the reservoir is full the cock is closed. On opening the inlet cocks the
motive fluid is admitted to the whole apparatus, creating an equal pressure
throughout. The regulator-cock being then opened the oil is fed to the mixing
chamber in drops through a nozzle in the desired quantity and proportion.
The mixing chamber contains preferably horizontal discs joined together
centrally by a vertical rod, and traversed by a short upright tube to permit
the free flow of the motive fluid. The discs are perforated with a number of
small orifices circumferentially arranged, and act as baffles to the oil in its
downward passage.
The oil, dropping on the centre of the upper baffle-plate passes very slowly over
and through the discs, in continual contact with the motive fluid which absorbs it,
and conveys it, in a condition of thorough and intimate admixture, into the
fixed and working parts of the motor, through the vent-hole which serves to admit
the motive fluid into the mixing chamber and lower part of the apparatus.
A tap provides for the emptying of the oil-reservoir when necessary.

A communication from JEAN MARIE BUISSON, of Villieu (Ain), in the Republic
of France.
I, Alfred JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, 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:—
This invention consists in the combination of a special mixing chamber with all
kinds of lubricators for prime-motors for the purpose of securing the perfect
admixture of the motive fluid (steam, hot air or gas, compressed air etc.,) with the
oil supplied by the lubricator before its passage into the distributing parts and
cylinders of the said motors. In this manner a much more perfect lubrication is
obtained.
In order to obtain such complete admixture of the motive fluid and the oil, it is
necessary to arrange in the mixing chamber a series of baffle-plates or other similar
retention devices, to delay the passage of the oil and to prevent its too rapid
introduction in conjunction with the steam. The said baffles may be of any
suitable form and kind.
The oil may
be supplied to the mixing apparatus either continuously or
intermittently. For the purpose of effecting as perfect and regular an admixture
as possible of the oil and the motive fluid, the oil should, preferably, be supplied
in minute quantities and in as regular a manner as possible.
The drawings annexed show the improved lubricator, fulfilling these conditions.
Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a vertical section of an automatic or indicator
drop-lubricator provided at its lower end with a mixing chamber.
The apparatus is affixed to the supply-pipe of the motive fluid (steam, gas etc.,)
at any convenient and suitable point by means of its screwed end A.
The oil-reservoir H is filled by opening a cock I and closing all the other cocks.
When the reservoir is full the cock is closed. On opening the inlet cocks B and E
the motive fluid is admitted to the whole apparatus, creating an equal pressure
throughout. The regulator-cock G being then opened the oil is fed to the mixing
chamber C in drops through a nozzle L in the desired quantity and proportion.
The mixing chamber C contains preferably horizontal discs K K joined together
centrally by a vertical rod, and traversed by a short upright tube J to permit the
free flow of the motive fluid. The discs K K are perforated with a number of
small orifices circumferentially arranged, and act as baffles to the oil in its
downward passage.
The oil, dropping on the centre of the upper baffle-plate passes very slowly over
and through the discs, in continual contact with the motive fluid which absorbs it,
and conveys it, in a condition of thorough and intimate admixture, into the
fixed and working parts of the motor, through a vent-bole which also serves to
admit the motive fluid into the mixing chamber and lower part of the apparatus.
A tap F provides for the emptying of the oil-reservoir H when necessary.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is ;-
1. In a lubricator for use with steam gas air or other motors the addition of a
mixing chamber fitted with baffles of any suitable shape or kind substantially as
described.

page_text: 2. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete lubricator
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
